Thousands of music and arts lovers from all around the world made the annual pilgrimage to the second Falls Festival to be held in Byron shire, a sold-out four-day extravaganza of chilled-out vibes and sounds from some of the edgiest Australian and overseas performers, at North Byron Parklands in Yelgun.

Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
Great video. Was at woodford so missed this, but feel like I have been there after watching Sharon’s clip. Excellent thanks
There were those that didn’t “Fall in love with Falls”:
– Birdlife – barely a bird seen or heard during the entire festival.
– No sight of any of 50 threatened species that inhabit the locality.
– Those patrons who when told the story of the locality were disappointed to be drawn there by the promoters and were quite willing to attend the festival at another location that isn’t a bio-hotspot (ie end the 5 year trial period now).
– 250 signatories to our petition to move the festivals – https://www.change.org/p/hon-pru-goward-m-p-nsw-minister-for-planning-petition-tell-major-music-festivals-to-move-away-from-the-biological-hotspot-at-yelgun-byron-shire

Wow, the music looks so bad. Feed the sheep anything and they will eat it I guess. No way I’d pay for that.
