The man was one of two men charged this week, following a scrupulous investigation in recent weeks by Southern detectives.
The man was charged with indecent assault on Tuesday, after he allegedly touched a woman over the top of her clothes in a moshpit during a musical performance.
A second man – a 24-year-old from Penguin – was also charged with indecent assault over a second alleged incident.
It will be alleged he touched a woman inside her clothing in a moshpit during a musical performance.
Both men were granted bail by police.
The 18-year-old will face the Launceston Magistrates Court on March 7.
The 24-year-old will front the Burnie Magistrates Court on March 8.
Detective Inspector Steve Burk said the men handed themselves in after being identified in photos that were posted to Facebook by Tasmania Police earlier this month.
News outlets provided hundreds of photographs to police following complaints of sexual assaults at the event.
Police are still investigating other alleged sexual assaults from Falls Festival, including a rape.
The festival took place over the New Year.
Anyone with information about assaults at the festival should contact police on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1800 333 000.
