The Laneway 2026 lineup was revealed last year, with US pop superstar Chappell Roan leading the way.
Alex G, BENEE, Lucy Dacus, The Dare, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are some of the other big-name acts confirmed for the festival.
Celebrating its 21st anniversary, Laneway Festival 2026 is coming back bigger and better than ever this February, with a refreshed route across Australia and New Zealand, including three new venues.
2025 was Laneway's biggest year yet, drawing over 200,000 fans to sold-out shows across Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth, with an additional 40,000 at sideshows. Headliners like Charli XCX, Clairo, BICEP, Beabadoobee, Olivia Dean, and Remi Wolf made it a standout year, and the festival’s co-founders quickly confirmed its return next year.
