The organisers of Falls Festival 2016, the historic 24th instalment of the beloved annual New Year’s holiday festival, have announced the details for the upcoming event as well as their exciting headliner, Childish Gambino.

One of the busiest figures in entertainment today, Childish Gambino, real name Donald Glover, is a rapper, actor, writer, and stand-up comedian. His previous Australian tours were blockbuster sell-outs and his Falls performance is sure to be special.

Falls Festival 2016 is set to kick off in December, hitting up its usual locations in Lorne, Marion Bay, and Byron Bay. This year will also see the debut of Falls Festival’s new Fremantle leg, which will be a little different to your usual Falls experience.

We know you’re craving that full first round lineup and organisers have assured everyone that it’s on its way and is set to drop Tuesday, 23rd August, so make sure you keep an eye out and stay tuned in to Tone Deaf.
