When the beloved Falls Festival announced it was "taking a break" earlier this year, many of us loyal to the long-standing event wondered: what the heck were we going to do on New Year's Eve this year?
Well, our questions have been answered, as a new one-day festival offering called Heaps Good is set to soundtrack our entrance into 2024, with an absolute ripper of a line-up featuring electronic music titan Flume, British rockers Foals and legendary experimental Aussie group the Avalanches.
The full line-up for Heaps Good in Melbourne includes Flume, Foals, the Avalanches, SBTRKT, Basement Jaxx, Griff, Holly Humberstone, May-A and Sycco and Logan. It's a super diverse mix of artists spanning a variety of genres that will surely create a magical journey into the new year.
It's all going down on Sunday, December 31, 2023. That's right — NYE baby, it doesn't get much better than listening to Flume as the clock ticks past midnight. The festival will be held at Sidney Myer Music Bowl, which is the home of so many amazing music events, right in the heart of the CBD.
Heaps Good is actually from the same producers behind Falls and had a test drive in Adelaide in 2023. After its success, it's now on track to becoming one of the hottest events on the Aussie music festival circuit. As well as Melbourne, the festival is also heading to Queensland and returning again to South Australia.
The ticket pre-sale will kick off at 4pm on Tuesday, September 19, with general tickets on sale at 4pm on Wednesday, September 20. Tickets are available through Ticketek, with the first release priced at $139.90 and the final release priced at $199.90. With only 5,000 tickets available in the first release, you're gonna want to get in quick if you're keen!
It's shaping up to be an epic way to celebrate NYE, with the festival sure to live up to its name. For all the details, check out the website.
