The lineup for Laneway Festival‘s 2023 comeback has got bigger, with organisers announcing the addition of the Jungle Giants to next year’s bill. The Brisbane indie-pop group’s latest album, Love Signs, arrived in 2021, and they’ve been a fixture of the festival circuit in recent months, appearing at Splendour in the Grass, Listen Out and Party In The Apocalypse.
The Jungle Giants join international draws such as Haim, Joji, Phoebe Bridgers, Finneas and Fontaines D.C., plus homegrown acts Mallrat, Harvey Sutherland, The Lazy Eyes, Sycco and more. To coincide with the announcement, Laneway Festival will be having a chat with Jungle Giants’ front person Sam Hales on Instagram tonight (17th October) at 7PM AEDT.
