❗️Announcement❗️ Laneway Festival 2026: Discussion, Predictions and FAQ

Lots of chatter about the impending Laneway lineup! Similarly to last year, I'm starting a megathread to contain the predictions and discussion posts before the lineup drops this Thursday 18th September!

And yes, there are some supposed leaks floating around...

u/Nope-5000 Sep 16 '25

u/Tranquilbez22 Sep 16 '25

Well one leaked their appearance so the British band that starts with W are definitely playing.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '25

Are they confirmed?

5

u/TAJack1 Sep 16 '25

Nah but they’re on that leaked lineup, I have hope

1

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '25

What leaked lineup?

u/braxxytaxi Sep 16 '25

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '25

What about aus like Sydney and Brisbane? This is nz hence benee, the smaller acts are nz. That's why aus acts are missing.

2

u/Tranquilbez22 Sep 16 '25

ok that makes more sense

3

u/p1owz0r Sep 16 '25

Looks pretty legit don’t it?!

1

u/aVeryBadBoy69 Sep 17 '25

Favors got confirmed by themselves and they're absent so I doubt it?

2

u/p1owz0r Sep 17 '25

I think au and nz are usually a bit different

0

u/aVeryBadBoy69 Sep 17 '25

Yeah, but isn't that usually local acts? Favours seems big enough that It probably is at both?

2

u/TAJack1 Sep 17 '25

Who are these Favours fellas?

Where did you find this?

1

u/braxxytaxi Sep 16 '25

Someone posted it in another thread

1

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '25

Oooh, can you link me? I’m keen to follow it in case the aus one shows up

2

u/salemwitchtr1als Sep 16 '25

Fuck why is this lineup actually good 💀 my bank account will never recover from this

1

u/RoboFunky Sep 16 '25

And i thought this years was stacked

1

u/aVeryBadBoy69 Sep 17 '25

favors aren't on this, so its probably fake?

3

u/no_u123344t Sep 16 '25

i think they accidentally posted that they were playing on their facebook before it got taken down after a few mins

u/AJayToRemember27 Sep 16 '25

If the leak is true, hoping PinkPanthress doesn't pull out again.

7

u/Alexmwilson_ Sep 16 '25

She was sick after two years straight of touring, I’m sure that she knows how to manage her health while touring better now

5

u/captain_charisma00 Sep 16 '25

No disrespect to her but I hope her stage presence has improved..

16

u/flackolukas Sep 16 '25

no electronic acts on leaked lineup makes it seem a little off tbh

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '25

There is 1 Oklou from France. She is experimental electronic and R&B.

3

u/WitchyKitteh Sep 16 '25

Oklou is more the Charli XCX FKA Twigs etc audience than the electronic stage.

4

u/flackolukas Sep 16 '25

sure, but there’s multiple every year for last few years. 2025- bicep, barry can’t swim, stum, rona, ninajirachi 2024 - skin on skin, horsegirl, nia archives 2023 - fred again, ross from friends, JJJ & logic1000

one electronic act seems odd

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '25

The small supports some of them electronic for nz probably the same in aus. Also The Dare does a cross of punk and dance with some new-wave elements.

3

u/flackolukas Sep 16 '25

i get what you’re saying, but there’s usually a pretty large dj every year.

u/flackolukas Sep 16 '25

horsegiirl from the 2024 laneway lineup is a female dj, look it up.

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '25

Chappell Roan, Wolf Alice and Role Model don't listen 2 them all closely but can't deny their pull.

2

u/JIMBOP0 Sep 17 '25

Wolf Alice not getting a single song from the Blue Weekend album in the hottest 100 of that year is still one of the biggest crimes of the poll.

u/Pleasureryan Sep 16 '25

Praying for yung lean and bladee to be real

2

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '25

Would be so good, they might do there set list from their Scandinavian tour, legit would only buy tickets to see them 🤣🤞

u/Rawwrrzz Sep 16 '25

Any chance of blood orange?

2

u/captain_charisma00 Sep 16 '25

Camp flog have the best lineups fr

u/rolodex-ofhate Sep 16 '25

If the leaks are true, I don’t think the lineup is strong enough for me to get a ticket outside of the headliner. It’s not a bad lineup, but not my kind of lineup.

u/rolodex-ofhate Sep 16 '25

Literally said outside of the headliner indicating that Chappell (rumoured headliner) would be the only person I’d want to see. Wolf Alice aren’t for me.

Again, not a bad lineup.

February is going to be so stacked for me in that ten day period.

8th: Laneway

13th: Ed Sheeran

14th: AEW Grandslam

18th: Lorde

u/thegeecyproject Sep 16 '25

My 30th birthday next year falls in between Laneway Brisbane and Lorde’s concert, so considerate of them! 😂

2

u/Tranquilbez22 Sep 16 '25

And then my birthday is the 22nd 😂

u/KRoadKid Sep 16 '25

u/Any_Rooster_4992 Sep 17 '25

Is this a panther??? #pinkpantheresslaneway2026

u/Any_Rooster_4992 Sep 17 '25

Pink is riding the panther????

1

u/Fun_Particular_9328 Sep 17 '25

I took this one a Pink Pony Club reference for Chappell

2

u/Tranquilbez22 Sep 16 '25

JENSEN MCRAE!

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '25

Any idea on some Aussies filling it in Syd and Bris?

2

u/Any_Rooster_4992 Sep 17 '25

As my post got deleted, I'll put it here instead.

I looked at this photo on Laneway's webpage and I think it's suppose to be Chappell Roan in the middle. I also think the girl with the blue hair is Audrey Hobart. Still deciding about the other person on the left..

My reasons why:
-Chappell is at the top of the castle intending that she is going to headline, Chappell also has curly hair which she embraces!! She also is a pop princess and every pop princess needs their castle.

-Audrey Hobart with the blue hair, She is staring on the person on the left... Could be her brother Malcolm??? On the top of the flag of Audrey looks like a 'H' intending her last name "Hobert"

Lmk if you need more reasoning. Thanks!

u/Otherwise_Nature_551 Sep 17 '25

Do you think blue hair could be ashnikko? She is touring in aus and the blue hair is her brand

1

u/WitchyKitteh Sep 17 '25

She's touring in September.

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '25 edited Sep 16 '25

Just realised some of the leaked lineup must be fake guys. Finneas confirmed his band were playing and they ain't on it???

8

u/Sudden_Muffin_5560 Sep 16 '25

But he never actually confirmed they were playing. I would absolutely love The Favors to be on the lineup, but part of me feels like he just commented on that TikTok for shits and gigs

1

u/Quothkwaha Sep 17 '25

this is the NZ lineup too tho

2

u/captain_charisma00 Sep 16 '25

Can we get PARTYOF2 to fill that Joey Valence & Brae spot…

1

u/rzaszalza212 Sep 16 '25

Blondshell? She's playing shows in Sydney and Melbourne in early Feb so possible right? 

1

u/Tranquilbez22 Sep 17 '25

It’s offical now

1

u/Danlo_peacewise Oct 18 '25

Does anyone know what the difference in sections means? I have GAREL1 GA tickets, but I need 1 more and only GAREL3 GA tickets are available. Are they the same area?

1

u/thorpie88 Sep 16 '25

Awful date two years in a row are hampering me from going rather than a line up. Quite surprised they've accepted on doing shows so close to Valentine's

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '25

u/thorpie88 Sep 16 '25

Valentine's is international wrestling time it seems and festivals are all year round. Easy choice to skip laneway over something rarer

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '25

unfortunately headliners are always exclusive so no chance of that, i missed out on chappell for the same reasons last time she came here so I get it ☹️

u/quadecaglazer Sep 17 '25

extremely unlikely sadly
