There’s no better way to ring in the new year in Australia than by getting loose at Falls Festival. The music and arts festival is one of the most hotly anticipated events on the festival calendar, and it has been going strong for 26 years.
This year partiers at Falls Festival will be ringing in the new year with none other than 1980s rockers Toto. You’ve belted out ‘Africa’ countless times while drunk, and now you’ll get to see them in the flesh as they take to the stage for Falls 2018.
Also on the line-up is a refreshingly large proportion of women, with 48 per cent of acts in the first line-up announcement featuring women. Powerhouse ladies on the list include Amy Shark, First Aid Kit (in their only Australian show), Mallrat, Jack River, Tkay Maidza and Odette.
