Empire of the Sun & La Roux join Falls Festival line-up (14/11/2014)
Over the last week, Röyksopp and Robyn withdrew from their scheduled collaborative performances at The Falls Music & Arts Festival this summer.
We’re super jazzed to announce not one, but two of music’s greatest dance-pop heavyweights will be stepping up! Dropping all NYE plans to come and spend it with you at Falls, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the following superstar artists will be joining the 2014 line-up and heading to Lorne, Marion Bay and Byron this summer!
EMPIRE OF THE SUN
Australia’s larger-than-life alt-electronic pioneers are back from their recent worldwide tour performing tracks from their albums ‘Ice On The Dune’ and ‘Walking On A Dream’. Since bursting onto the stage in 2007, Empire of The Sun have won eight Arias including ‘Album of The Year’, ‘Best Group’ and ‘Best Pop Release’, whilst consistently charting at Top 10 across the world! As a live act, their show is an adventure, packed with costume changes, strategic bright lights, transformative dancers and of course amazing tunes; something that’ll be pretty special to behold at the Falls natural amphitheatres this NYE.
LA ROUX
La Roux is all wild synths, battering beats, dystopian tones, neon lights and leather jackets – the perfect mix for a hypnotic live show! Known worldwide for hits such as ‘Bulletproof’, ‘In For The Kill’ and ‘Quicksand’ from her 2009 Grammy Award winning debut album; she’s coming to Falls with her new release Trouble In Paradise! Prepare yourself for sun-kissed sounds, infectious Caribbean bounce and a cannon blast of electro-pop bluster from one of Britains premier talents.

"Falls Festival is an experience like no other – hidden away in a valley, in a rainforest, in the middle of nowhere - it’s an isolating and freeing experience. For those few amazing days, you forget that there is a world outside the festival grounds. It’s surprising what a relief it can be to distance yourself from the modern world for only a few days and just relax.". - Our reviewer on the Lorne 2013/14 event.

Lorne, VIC: December 28, 2014 – January 01, 2015
Located just off the winding beauty of the Great Ocean Road, Lorne is where Falls all began. Set amongst the mountaintops of the ancient Otway Rainforest surrounded by tall gums and green gullies, it’s a magical place to spend your days camping. Take some time either side of the festival to walk the trails and explore the native areas. |
Marion Bay, TAS: December 29, 2014 – January 01, 2015
The Marion Bay site is picturesque, sitting right alongside one of the finest coastlines in the world. Taking a trip to Tasmania over summertime is the perfect way to experience all that the Apple Isle has to offer. The weather is fine, the terrain is beautiful, there is so much to see and do; with the foodies paradise Taste of Tasmania in full swing, MONA just a heartbeat away and the Sydney to Hobart taking pace - not to mention all of the stunning natural surrounds to be explored. |
Byron Bay, NSW: December 30, 2014 – January 03, 2015
Look up ‘delightful beach town’ in the dictionary and Byron Bay is what you’ll find. Known for its relaxed beaches where the sand stretches beyond vision with waves that are near perfect. Drenched with mellow charms and the heart of a small town, 2013 will mark Falls’ maiden voyage to the area! |
Any one of these three choices will make for an exciting summer break. The time to start planning is now, while travel is cheap and fully available.
