Laneway Festival is back for its 19th edition and it's locked in a stacked line-up of heavy-hitters, beloved faves and a slew of down under first-timers.
Heading the pack is none other than an exclusive appearance from grime lord Stormzy, who will be making his first trip to Australia in seven years. Joining the dench geezer are Steve Lacy and Dominic Fike, who will also be playing exclusively at Laneway Festival.
The likes of AJ Tracey, Angie McMahon, d4vd, Nia Archives, Skin On Skin, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Miss Kaninna, Pretty Girl and more have bulked out the line-up that'll hit stages in February.
Update 17/11: Unfortunately Suki Waterhouse is no longer able to make the festival run. But the Laneway team have worked hard and fast to lock in Cordae to join the line-up.
"We were so looking forward to having Suki Waterhouse along to Laneway Festival next year, but due to personal reasons, she can't make the trip to Australia and New Zealand in February," the Laneway team said in a statement.
"We can't wait to welcome Suki back to Laneway in the future when the timing is right. Until then, we wish her all the best and will keep her on repeat."
Update 16/01/2024: The Laneway line-up has bulked out even more with nine new artists and two new stages in Sydney and Melbourne added into the mix!
The St Jerome's Bar is crashing into Melbourne with a big nod to the festival's roots. You'll be able to catch The Buoys, These New South Whales, The Belair Lip Bombs, CIVIC and dust. lighting up that new space.
Meanwhile in Sydney there's The Chop Shop, which is a multi-level hoon featuring a delicious selection of electronic heaters from the likes of C.FRIM, RONA, 1tbsp and Jai Piccone.
Update 19/01/2024: Laneway Festival has locked in its line-up with a few more additions and a farewell from an international act.
Sadly L.A.-based Eyedress is no longer able to come down under for the festival, but Laneway hopes he can make it over in the future.
But in good news, five local artists have jumped on the slate at select date around the country.
FELONY. is joining the party in Brisbane, while FRIDAY*, Molly Millington and Raave Tapes will be lighting up the stages in Sydney.
And Melbourne will be treated to an unmissable sets from Floodlights and Lotte Gallagher.

Impressively, a whopping one third of Laneway 2024's offering will be making their debut in Australia, cementing the festival as the place to discover and witness artists before they explode in the music scene.
Or potentially as they're on their huge ascendancy – we all remember the Fred Again.. fever of the last Laneway Festival.
Raye, Faye Webster, Paris Texas, Blondshell, DOMi & JD BECK and Hemlocke Springs will all be playing their first-ever sets at Laneway 2024.

As always, Laneway will also sneak in a visit across the ditch to see our friends in Tamaki Makaurau/Auckland along the way.
