NEED TO KNOW
- Laneway is returning for 2027 with a stacked lineup, including headliners Fontaines D.C., Hayley Williams, Slayyyter, Adéla and Kim Petras.
- Pre-sale tickets go on sale on Wednesday, October 7, with 1st release tickets starting at $239.90.
- Laneway will start in Sydney on February 12, before heading to Brisbane on February 13 , Melbourne on February 19, and finally Auckland on February 21.
Laneway Festival’s 2027 lineup has just been announced and safe to say we’re pretty excited. Australian music festivals have endured a somewhat tumultuous few years, with a number of beloved fixtures falling by the wayside in a post-COVID world (RIP Groovin’ the Moo, Splendour in the Grass and Falls Festival).
So, when one of the country’s few remaining festivals digs in its heels and unveils a stellar lineup such as this, the excitement is understandably palpable. Laneway will return in February 2027, with Fontaines D.C., Hayley Williams, Slayyyter, Adéla and Kim Petras among the acts set to descend upon stages across Australia and New Zealand.
The announcement arrives alongside the news that Sydney will serve as the opening stop, while Brisbane returns to the route (last year, Laneway’s QLD stopover was hosted on the Gold Coast). Adelaide and Perth, meanwhile, will sit out the 2027 festival as organisers pare back the touring schedule due to the demands of running so many shows in such a short window of time.
But Adelaide and Perth fans, fear not! Fontaines D.C. have already announced two exclusive Australian headline performances, taking over Perth’s RAC Arena on Tuesday, February 9, before heading to Adelaide’s AEC Arena on Wednesday, February 17, 2027. The dates will be Fontaines D.C.’s only standalone Australian performances outside of Laneway Festival.
However, if the beloved summer festival staple is on the cards for 2027, here is everything you need to know.
Laneway Festival 2027 Lineup

The Laneway 2027 lineup is stacked with global stars, local favourites and a crop of exciting fresh debuts. Headliners include Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams, who will bring The Hayley Williams Show to the festival for her first Australian festival appearances as a solo artist.

Why Are Perth & Adelaide Not Hosting Laneway In 2027?
In an Instagram post, festival organisers explained the decision to omit Perth and Adelaide, saying the logistics of running multiple festivals across so many cities so close together puts significant logistical pressure on its artists and crew.
The break gives the organisers more time to focus on the festival itself and allows artists to schedule more headline shows in cities outside Laneway’s festival locations.
