Laneway Festival 2025 just got even bigger with the surprise addition of Joe Keery—yes, the same Joe Keery who plays everyone’s favourite babysitter, Steve Harrington, in Stranger Things.
Performing under his music project Djo, Keery is joining an already stacked lineup featuring Charli XCX, Clairo, Beabadoobee, and more.
Known for his synth-heavy, retro-futuristic sound, Djo has also sparked viral TikTok fame with the hit “Just trust me, you’ll be fine.” This will mark Djo’s debut performance in Australia and New Zealand, making an already epic festival even more exciting.
Laneway dished a juicy hint earlier today via a sneaky voice note posted to Instagram, leaving fans in a flurry to figure out the familiar voice. Web sleuths were quick to take to the comments, suggesting the vocals belonged to that of the Netflix star.
If you haven’t already obsessed over his track “End of the Beginning” (which is platinum-certified, BTW), now’s the perfect time to get acquainted before you see him live.
But wait, there’s more! Laneway Festival has a second surprise—Sydney’s venue is getting a serious glow-up. The Sydney leg is moving to the beautiful, sprawling Centennial Park, a spot known for its lush greenery and endless vibes.
Pre-sale tickets (thanks, Afterpay!) go live tomorrow at 10am local time in each city. But heads up: the festival team has already let us know they’ve received way more registrations than tickets available, so you’ll need to be quick on the draw. Rally your mates, fire up the group chat, and get ready to score your spot.

Kicking things off, Laneway Festival Auckland will take place on Thursday, February 6th, at the scenic Western Springs.

In the following week, Laneway Festival will take over Melbourne’s vibrant Flemington Park on Friday, February 14th, and then head to Adelaide’s picturesque Bonython Park on Saturday, February 15th. The tour will wrap up on Sunday, February 16th, at Perth’s inner-city oasis, Wellington Square, providing a fitting finale to the festival’s journey.
It’s shaping up to be a killer (brat) summer of music at Laneway 2025, with something for every vibe. Start planning your festival fit and get those tickets ASAP because 2025’s Laneway is going to be next-level epic.
