The Laneway Festival regrets that Echo & the Bunnymen are no longer to play the Melbourne Laneway Festival tomorrow. Lead singer Ian McCulloch, who was due to arrive in Melbourne tonight, has missed his flight from London and won’t make it to Australia in time for the scheduled performance. At this stage, all other performances are due to go ahead as planned.

We are very pleased to announce that Melbourne party knights Midnight Juggernauts will be performing in their slot.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Please contact info@lanewayfestival.com.au for further enquiries.
