    We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but beloved Australian festival Falls Festival have put a "raincheck" on this year's edition.

    Back in May, they announced they were putting together an all-Australian line-up, but with the pandemic continuing in Australia, they've been forced to cancel. 

    We're hoping that at some stage, we get to see the all-Australian line-up they were planning in action.

    In a statement, festival organisers said, "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.

    "However, given the current status of things and border restrictions in place, it won’t be possible to hold Falls Festival in our regular New Year’s timeframe.

    "As we work with government stakeholders and key agencies to get Falls Festival back in the calendar, as always your safety is our priority. Consider this a raincheck and please know we will be back with more information as it comes to hand."

    Keep your ears peeled for some good news down the track - the Australian festival scene could really, really use it right about now.
