MGMT and the Falls Festival are offering a few lucky Aussies the chance to perform alongside the Brooklyn duo this December.
Having dropped their third album earlier this year, MGMT are on the way to Australia to play three Falls Fest New Year’s Eve dates. One fan in Lorne, Marion and Byron Bay will thrown on stage to take over the giant cowbell duties for ‘Your Life Is A Lie’ performed by vocalist Andrew VanWyngarden in the below video.
You don’t need any musical talent to be the ‘one’. Falls Festival need the winner to “wield a giant drumstick, punctuating each 4/4 bar with an almighty clonk” to the cowbell “that looks like it would be more at home hanging round the neck of Godzilla,”
The cowbell is heading down under to tour with MGMT and to be the lucky person caressing its magical tunes, all you need to do is be the best dressed attendee at the intergalactic themed Falls Festival Boogie Nights party, the opening event at each leg festival leg.
