Here we go again — Laneway Festival 2026 has officially landed! Australia and New Zealand’s beloved tastemaker festival turns 21 this summer — and we’re celebrating with a line-up packed with dream debuts, long-awaited returns, and Laneway-only exclusives.
Topping the wish list for years, Chappell Roan is finally making her Laneway Festival debut. The Midwestern-born, global pop star is bringing her iconic gothic fairytale production down under for a full 90-minute spectacle. Laneway 2026 marks Chappell Roan’s first-ever national tour of Australia – this is going to be the live music moment of the summer!
Mercury Prize-winning Wolf Alice return to Laneway Festival for an exclusive performance, ready to remind us why they’re one of the most exciting live bands of their generation. They’re joined by a run of unmissable Laneway-only exclusives — the heartfelt, wry anthems of Role Model; the genre-bending, internet-pop brilliance of PinkPantheress; and the tongue-in-cheek indie chaos of Wet Leg.
Yung Lean & Bladee are uniting for a rare collaborative performance, bringing their cult Swedish rap universe to the stage – only at Laneway Festival.
The line-up also features the sharp-eyed storytelling of Lucy Dacus, Indie cult hero Alex G, Kiwi superstar BENEE, bedroom-pop genius Cavetown, LA folk-psych favourites Mt. Joy and New York’s unapologetic dancefloor starter, The Dare.
Rising voices Malcolm Todd, Oklou, Jensen McRae, Geese, Wisp, and Gigi Perez continue Laneway Festival’s tradition of introducing the future, first. Holding it down for home soil are Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, Blusher, Shady Nasty, Armlock, The Belair Lip Bombs, and Djanaba who will bring their unique energy to the Laneway stage.
With 35% more artists, a brand new East Coast stage, and a third of the line-up making their Australian debut, Laneway Festival 2026 is on another level.
