The festival, which is usually held in Byron Bay, Tasmania and Victoria, has this year added Fremantle in West Australia as a location.

‘From stunning natural settings and rolling green amphitheaters to inner city streets and abandoned buildings, Falls will be taking over four corners of Australia and transforming each of the spaces into immersive carousels of music, dance, light and art,’ organisers said.
