Empire Of The Sun, La Roux Confirmed For Falls Festival & Southbound

Staff Writer

The pair are replacing Royksopp & Robyn

More Empire Of The Sun Empire Of The Sun Profile

Two more acts have been confirmed for Falls Music & Arts Festival, with a local and international set to replace Royksopp & Robyn on the bill.

Aussie alternative-dance duo Empire Of The Sun and English synth-pop act La Roux will now perform at each of the three Falls events, the festival confirmed today.

The news comes about a week after it was confirmed that Royksopp had cancelled their Aus tour in the wake of Robyn pulling out of her shows due to a "personal family matter".

There has been no announcement as yet as to whether Empire Of The Sun or La Roux will be added to the Southbound line-up.

UPDATE [1:30PM]: Southbound have confirmed Empire Of The Sun and La Roux will both appear at their event next year.
