The festival will be celebrating its 18th birthday next year…

It’s been over three years since the last Laneway took place, the early February bash one of the last major events to sneak in before COVID entered Australia in 2020. It’s safe to say we’ve been longing for the return of the beloved summer bash, and today, our prayers have been answered, with the full lineup released for Laneway Festival 2023.

Set to take place over the first week of February, the festivities will be headlined by the likes of HAIM, Joji, Slowthai, Phoebe Bridgers and numerous more artists ranging from pop to indie, R&B and more. On the dance front, the lineup is bustling with plenty of talent, with Boiler Room sensation Fred Again.. leading the charge with Chaos In The CBD and Ross From Friends. Homegrown producers JamesJamesJames and Logic1000 will be joining them, along with a slew of other Aussie acts. It’s a lineup that deserves to be seen all across the country. Luckily, the festival will be stopping in at Brissy, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth, in what’ll be a colossal comeback for the Aussie staple.
