The Laneway Festival 2026 sideshows are here, with confirmed tours and gigs from several international artists including Alex G, Lucy Dacus, BENEE, Gigi Perez, and Wet Leg.
Celebrating its 21st anniversary, Laneway Festival 2026 is coming back bigger and better than ever next February, with a refreshed route across Australia and New Zealand, including three new venues. For the second year in a row — and for just the second time in Laneway history — the Sydney and Melbourne dates sold out in under an hour on the first day of general sale.
Confirmed on next year’s bill are the likes of headlining act Chappell Roan, Role Model, PinkPantheress, Wolf Alice, and Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers.
Showcasing some of the lineup’s brightest stars and most exciting new voices, the official sideshows feature both debuts and long-awaited returns, giving fans a chance to catch their favourites up close and personal.
