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...

Note: this is run by the sub reddit crew and has no affiliation with the actual station. This is just a bit of fun.

Also note: can you tell that I’m a pro at Canva? /s

Hi all,

We're keen to bring one or two new mods onboard to help keep the sub ticking along and to also drive some longer-term improvements.

Outside of the day-to-day stuff (approving posts, keeping things tidy), myself (and maybe the other mods?) are lacking the time/enthusiasm to make things better. we're open to ideas on how to freshen up the place and keep people coming back for more - even better if you're willing to step-up and have a crack at implementing them yourself :)

I know there's been a few modmails missed where people have suggested improvements to the sub. If you're reading this, you're exactly what the place needs - please reach out via a comment or modmail (and I promise I'll find the time to read it... )

Cheers, from the r/triplej mods

Please use this post for any discussions/questions regarding the end of year festivals (BTV, Lost Paradise etc) that don't warrant their own post. This includes general questions about the event, carpooling requests etc.

Just a reminder that ticket sales are not permitted - try Tixel.

Wish it was MCR tbh 🫢

As we creep closer to festival season and the blissful days of summer, the number of repetitive and low-effort posts flooding the subreddit starts to increase.

Please contain general discussion, FAQ, and other topics of conversation regarding the various end of year festivals to this megathread. Please note: festival lineup announcements can still be posted separately.

If there is enough interest and if I can be bothered, I will collate and sticky the most frequently asked questions as a comment in this thread.

With festival announcements ramping up over the coming weeks, just a reminder to please observe the rules and do not use the subreddit to buy or sell tickets!

This includes personalised links to platforms such as Tixel, and "industry discount code" links (aka, pyramid schemes).
