Your New Year's plans are here and they're as follows: If you're in WA head down to Busselton for Southbound, Victoria you're off to Lorne, NSW please go to Byron Bay and Tasmania you are directed towards Marion Bay. The event? Falls and Southbound Music Festival of course. You'll be blown away by British act Bloc Party who despite the numerous hiatus rumours over the years are back again with a new album in the works, the rampaging Foals who are on the verge of releasing their fourth album What Went Down and UK garage-house power brothers Disclosure.

Registration is open now till Friday August 14. You're then contacted as to whether or not you were successful in acquiring the chance to buy a ticket.
