The 2010 Falls Festival line up was revealed this morning. The stand outs are slim picking when it comes to internationals.
Has Splendour lifted the precedent that high? Lucky there is an awesome Aussie contingency to keep me more than happy.
I believe this is the first announcement and that there are more to come.
Tix go on sale 9am September 9th people. Sign up for the ballot.
