Laneway’s return next year will come after its 2021 and 2022 editions were both cancelled due to the pandemic. In February, when announcing that Laneway would not go ahead this year, organisers revealed that several acts for 2023 had already been booked.

“It’s already feeling like one of those very special Laneway lineups,” they said at the time. “There are so many exciting ideas and dreams coming into the picture and we look forward to sharing them with you into the new normal.”

Laneway’s last iteration, in 2020, featured big-named international artists including Charli XCX, The 1975 and Earl Sweatshirt, along with homegrown acts like King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Julia Jacklin, Spacey Jane, The Chats, Stella Donnelly, DMA’S and Ocean Alley.
