LANEWAY FESTIVAL
announces playing times
and official afterparties
It’s almost go time. With Laneway Festival 2026 just around the corner, playing times have officially landed — and the countdown to one of the biggest live music moments of the summer is well and truly on.
With Laneway Festival’s 21st birthday edition set to take over Australia and New Zealand very soon — featuring a stacked lineup including the likes of Chappell Roan and Wolf Alice through to Role Model, PinkPantheress, Alex G, Yung Lean and Bladee, Geese and many more — fans can now start planning their day from gates open until the final set, via the Laneway Festival app on iOS and Android.
Also joining the 2026 lineup is Spanish-Moroccan artist Mina Galán, one of the most exciting breakout DJs to emerge from the global club underground. In under a year, Mina has gone from cult favourite to international demand, headlining stages at Glastonbury and helping shape a new era of club culture, fast. Her party Club Stamina, founded in London and now popping up between Paris, Medellín and Ibiza, has become a platform for a new generation of trans femme DJs and Latin club trailblazers.
A limited number of new tickets will be released today for Laneway Festival Sydney and Melbourne. These tickets are expected to move fast, with no further releases planned — this is your final chance to have the time of your life at Laneway ‘26. Get yours via lanewayfestival.com.
If you’re not ready to call it a night: Laneway Festival’s official 2026 afterparty series keeps the good times going across Auckland, the Gold Coast, Sydney and Melbourne, with DJ sets and live shows from Laneway artists and local favourites. Follow @lanewayfest and @lanewayfestnz for all the details.
We can’t wait to see you on site, then out late!

About LANEWAY FESTIVAL
Laneway Festival began in 2004 at St. Jerome’s Bar — a tiny, ex-Swedish meatball shop turned speakeasy hidden down Melbourne’s Caledonian Lane. Opened by Jerome Borazio as a hangout for friends, the bar quickly became a hub for like-minded music lovers. When friend and music booker Danny Rogers returned from New York, the pair decided to put on Sunday gigs in the bar’s back yard.
By February 2005, the Summer Series had spilled into the laneway itself. Posters were printed, restaurants sold food out their back doors, and a makeshift stage was thrown up at one end of the alley. The sold-out street party had no production manager, few rules, and an entire community behind it. A festival was born.
Twenty-one years later, Laneway Festival is one of the most loved and respected live music events across Australia and New Zealand — a tastemaker festival renowned for discovery, community, and championing the most exciting artists from around the world.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
