Falls Festival

Falls Music & Arts Festival (commonly known as Falls) is a multi-day music festival held annually in Australia over the New Year's Eve and January period. Established in 1993, the festival hosts contemporary music performances, dance, comedy, theatre, circus, cabaret, and other art forms. Camping is available and all locations have nearby beaches which are either walking distance or a short bus ride away. Artists playing at the festival include rock, hip hop, indie music, electronic music, blues and roots.

For the 2022-23 season, The OG Wiggles made a special appearance at the festival, performing throughout Australia from the 29th December 2022 to January 7th 2023.

Trivia

• On the first day of the festival:
  • "D.O.R.O.T.H.Y. (My Favourite Dinosaur)" was performed in the key of C rather than in the key of D like it usually is. The only other time the song has been performed in the key of C is in international recordings used in foreign language (such as the Spanish or Taiwanese Wiggles)
  • The Murray Balloon went up during the performance of "Hot Potato".

• Anthony was the only Wiggle to not wear a golden belt buckle.
• Simon was completely absent from the festival.
