Perform On Stage With MGMT At Falls Festival

Staff Writer

Are you an aspiring cowbell player?

More MGMT MGMT

If you're a fan of MGMT and happen to be heading to any of the Falls Festival events in a few weeks, this competition could be for you.

Organisers and the band are giving punters the opportunity to join the psych indie pop act on stage when they perform their track Your Life Is A Lie for the Falls' crowds. The winners will get to play an instrument with the guys - the all important (and massive, we might add) cowbell.

To win, you've got to be crowned Best Dressed at the festival's Boogie Night shindig that takes place on the first night of the event. The fancy dress theme is Intergalactic, so you'll need to get spacey and creative! There will be one winner from each of the three Falls instalments.

The much-loved festival kicks off on Friday 28 December in Lorne. Below are the full dates and you can relive the line-up here.

Lorne: Saturday 28 December - Wednesday 1 January (18+)
Marion Bay: Sunday 29 December - Wednesday 1 January (all ages)
Byron Bay: Tuesday 31 December - Friday 3 January (18+)
