DAY 73 // THE FALLS FESTIVAL!

OK. So i'm freaking out just a little because, out of the blue today,  I bought myself  a ticket to The Falls Festival in Byron Bay for New Years!! I guess it's not THAT out of the blue because this has been something I've wanted to do for awhile now..BUT it's been quite the hectic mess getting here. The tickets are/were? (I'm still confused about this) sold out ..and about a month ago I tried buying one on gumtree, which was a fail, and I got scammed. Lesson learned, Lesson learned..  I received so many texts after that from random strangers selling tickets,  and I just couldn't trust any of them. I couldn't risk it again. So long story short I had given up my Falls Festival dream.

Then today, my friend Bella messaged me that there were (weirdly enough) tickets available again on their site. So I hummed and haww'ed a little bit before I realized, "what am I doing thinking about this!? I need to buy a damn ticket! This is my first New Years in Australia!!"

I am SO excited, and can't wait to experience this festival..it's been way too long since I've been to one and I'm just itching.. The line up is awesome, I reckon it's going to be a similar vibe to Sasquatch Music Festival, with electronic artists in DJ tents and indie bands on the main stages. The Roots are headlining on New Years Eve and other big acts are MGMT, Vampire Weekend, Grizzly Bear and Crystal Fighters.

I'm interested in hearing the bands I do know, but also excited to discover local aussie artists and bands  I've never heard of. It will truly be an unforgettable three days of eclectic sounds, art and sunshine :) What a way to cap of the best year of my life..

Thanks for reading!
See you Tomorrow xo

Here's the cute promo video for the festival.. and some photos from previous years and the line up.
