LANEWAYFESTIVAL
The indie-pop festival born in a Melbourne laneway in 2005, now one of the big events on the Australian scene: a one-day event at Flemington Park, February 19, 2027.
Laneway Festival 2027
The Laneway Festival festival.
In a nutshell.
Laneway Festival was born in 2005 in a small Melbourne laneway, Caledonian Lane, with 1,400 people. Having grown into a touring festival across Australia and New Zealand, it remains one of the country's big indie-pop events, known for spotting rising artists before they break through. The Melbourne leg, its historic home, takes place on February 19, 2027.
Laneway has built a reputation as a talent scout: many now world-famous artists played its stages at the very start of their careers. The lineup leans indie, pop and alternative rock, blending international headliners with new discoveries.
A one-day urban format, with no camping: the crowd stays in Melbourne, one of Australia's cultural capitals, easy to combine with a real stay in the region.
