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 festival offering called Heaps Good is set to soundtrack our entrance into 2024, with an absolute ripper of a line-up featuring Flume, Foals, the Avalanches, SBTRKT, Basement Jaxx and loads more.
The one-day festival, from the same producers behind Falls Festival, had a test drive in Adelaide in 2023 and is 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 back to South Australia.
It's shaping up to be an epic way to celebrate NYE, with the festival sure to live up to its name. So here's everything you need to know about Heaps Goos.
