Childish Gambino Leads 2016 Falls Fest Bill

Staff Writer

So into you Gambino

Childish Gambino

Get ready for what's going to be an incredible Falls Festival this year — the folks at the three-day New Years festival have announced their first act and headliner this morning, the inimitable Childish Gambino.

In town in 2014 for Splendour In The Grass and again last year for Listen Out, rapper/singer/actor/writer/perfect human Donald Glover will have his upcoming record PHAROS in tow when he hits up all four Falls events.

Falls have also announced the dates for this year's festivals: Lorne, Victoria's event will run December 28 — December 31, Marion Bay, Tasmania's event will run December 29 — December 31, Byron Bay's event will run December 31 — January 2 and finally Fremantle's event will run January 7 and 8.

The full line-up is incoming on Tuesday, 23 August and if today's teaser is anything to go by, it's gonna be amazing.
