Laneway 2026 Lineup Drop !!

Laneway 2026 @DarcyGossMedia

Laneway Festival has revealed its 2026 lineup, and it’s one that feels deeply in tune with where music is right now.

Returning this February for its 21st year, Laneway continues to do what it does best: spotlight artists who sit at the intersection of culture, community, and momentum. Headlining the 2026 edition is Chappell Roan, whose explosive rise and unapologetic pop world make her long-awaited Laneway debut feel both overdue and perfectly timed. Expect a headline set that’s as theatrical as it is cathartic, the kind that turns a field of strangers into a shared moment.

Across the lineup, Laneway leans into its signature blend of global favourites and left-of-centre discoveries. Artists like Wolf Alice, Wet Leg, PinkPantheress, Lucy Dacus, and Alex G bring a mix of grit, vulnerability, and genre-fluidity, while deeper cuts across the bill signal a festival still invested in discovery, not just drawcards.

True to its roots, the 2026 lineup also leaves space for Australian artists carving out their own lanes. A reminder that Laneway has always been as much about nurturing the scene as documenting it. It’s this balance that continues to define the festival: not just who’s big now, but who’s about to be.

Laneway Festival 2026 will roll through Auckland, the Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth this February. Two decades on, Laneway isn’t chasing trends, it’s shaping them, one carefully curated lineup at a time.

Tickets will be on sale from Wednesday 24 September 2026 from 10am AEST.
