Sideshow Alley: Falls Festival 2018

With only one of the Falls Festival stops having sold out—being Lorne, as per tradition—the festival still remains an elusive, hot ticket item for New Years. If you’ve been waiting for your favourite act to play outside the festival, then you’re in luck. Secret Sounds—the lords behind the New Years festival—have announced the first round of sideshows.

Some of the festival’s headliners and international stars will be performing a couple of dates beside the four Falls Festival stops. As per tradition, Sydney and Melbourne get all the love. Acts like Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, The Vaccines, Interpol, Soccer Mommy and Bishop Briggs have extended their touring schedule.

Check out the full list of Falls Festival sideshows below including ticketing information for each show. This list will be updated as more performances get revealed.
