The lineup of our dreams
Laneway Festival is officially returning for its 22nd year, and the vibes are looking absolutely immaculate. Billboard confirms that the iconic festival is bringing Fontaines D.C. and The Hayley Williams Show to the stage as headliners for the 2027 summer tour across Australia and New Zealand.
If you're looking to catch some of the most hyped names in the scene, this lineup is a total W. Beyond the headliners, the bill features Slayyyter, ADÉLA, Kim Petras, MUNA, Ninajirachi, and Rico Nasty. It’s giving exactly what we need for the southern summer, keeping the festival’s rep for scouting the next big thing totally intact.
The tour deets
The festival is hitting a few key cities, but heads up: the Perth and Adelaide dates are being scaled back as sideshows. Fontaines D.C. and Jane Remover are locked in for those two stops, with Tiffany Day joining the Perth leg. Everyone else can catch the full chaos at the main festival dates in Sydney, Melbourne, and Auckland.
Pre-sales drop next Wednesday, Oct. 7, with the general sale following on Thursday, Oct. 8. You can grab all the info at lanewayfestival.com.
Why it matters
Since its start in 2005, Laneway has been the ultimate gatekeeper of indie cred, launching the careers of icons like Billie Eilish, Charli xcx, and Tame Impala. With over 200,000 tickets sold last year, the festival is a massive cultural staple that keeps the APAC indie scene thriving.
