Falls Festival Raises Funds for Tassie Bushfire Relief

As fire-ravaged Tasmania does its best to recover, the folks from the Falls Music & Arts Festival are doing their bit with a fundraising drive.

Thankfully the Falls farm at Marion Bay survived the blazes, but that doesn’t mean the Falls crew are untouched by the tragedy. They’re doing their part by turning the farm into a temporary refuge for homeless locals and community workers.

They’re also calling on all fans to help Tasmania rebuild by donating what they can to the Red Cross. The Falls Festival team has done the same by generously giving $10, 000 to the charity. You can also contribute to the Falls Festival’s fundraising efforts by clicking this secure link.

Keep an eye on the Fall Festival website to read details of more fundraising initiatives in the coming weeks.

Temper Trap, Missy Higgins, and Bluejuice Play Soundscape

The fifth annual Soundscape Festival is shaping up to be the best yet, with The Temper Trap, Missy Higgins, and Bluejuice all taking their place on the bill.

Soundscape will settle into its new home at Prices Wharf Shed No. 1, on Castray Esplanade in Hobart on November 16 and 17. The location isn’t the only change this year. The festival’s moved from January to November to avoid stifling heat, and downsized the available tickets. That means fewer queues and more intimate performances.

Tickets are on sale now from the Soundscape Festival website.
