Falls Festival 2020 cancelled: ‘It won’t be possible’

“In May, as the nation seemed to be moving into recovery mode, we were optimistic about forging ahead and supporting our local industry with an all Aussie edition of Falls Festival. We were especially excited to reunite many live music fans, get industry crew back on the job, and contribute to the economies of the communities where Falls takes place,” the announcement read.

Organisers asked festivalgoers to view the cancellation as a “raincheck,” promising to “get Falls Festival back in the calendar.”with an all-Australian line-up of artists to mark the end of what’s been a very difficult year. At the time, Haydn Johnston, co-founder of Architects of Entertainment which produces Splendour In The Grass and Lost Paradise, told Triple J’s Hack there was no chance a festival could be pulled together in under six months, given the hoops organisers had to jump through.The cancellation comes after Falls’ 2019 Lorne festival was forced to cancel last December as bushfires tore through much of Australia.

because of “potential fires, smoke, severe winds and tree hazards”, with 9000 disappointed festival-goers who’d already arrived having to pack up their tents and leave the site near Lorne on the Great Ocean Road.
