The Falls Festival, held over two nights simultaneously in Marion Bay, Tasmania and Lorne, Victoria, has announced it's first run of bands.
In the predictability stakes, Michael Franti and Spearhead will return to Australian shores again, and Wolfmother will continue their mission to play almost every Australian festival in 2006.Modest Mouse bring the indie cred to the festival, while the John Butler Trio (who are back after a considerable absence), Josh Pyke and The Audreys lay the mood back and give it a nice massage while it's getting comfortable.
You Am I promise to rock the kid's socks off, while Youth Group add their loveable guitar pop.
Saul Williams will inspire the poets in the audience whilst rocking their socks off, and The Black Seeds will inject a healthy dose of groove into the night.
The Festival is held across two nights, climaxing on New Years Eve. It has been going for over ten years and is one of Australia's longest running festivals.
The complete lineup is Wolfmother, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Modest Mouse, You Am I, Youth Group, The Bees, John Butler Trio, Josh Pyke, The Audreys, Blue King Brown, Saul Williams, The Black Seeds and Jamie Lidell.
