The summer festival season is well and truly flickering on the horizon. Organisers of the Falls Festival have announced the first round of acts for the event, held in both Lorne, Victoria and Marion Bay, Tasmania over the New Year period.

Bearing in mind the same line-up generally appears at Perth's Southbound festival and Byron Bay's Arts festival, feast your eyes on those deemed holding the appropriate license for such widespread entertaining.
