Prepare yourselves for the 2015 Laneway Festival line-up, one of our favourites yet.
It’s been a decade since Danny Rogers and Jerome Borazio threw a party and called it a festival down by the ‘colourful’ alley in the backstreets of the Melbourne CBD in 2005. In that time, Laneway has hosted some of the world’s best artists before they went on to become major stars.
In 2015, it returns to this year’s iconic locations in Singapore, New Zealand and to five Australian cities. From the sparkling backdrop of the Maribyrnong and Port Rivers in Melbourne and Adelaide, the beachside location in Fremantle, the historic grounds of Sydney College of The Arts and our brand new home in Brisbane, the event is a true highlight on the Singapore, New Zealand and Australian music calendars.
Brisbane Laneway punters are going to be thrilled, with the festival to be held on a Saturday for the first time in six years. In addition, the festival is moving to a completely new, more spacious part of the RNA grounds.
After its successful debut in 2014, Laneway returns to the historic site at Harts Mill, Port Adelaide, and this year’s move from Perth to Fremantle’s historic West End and Esplanade Reserve will also be repeated so punters can enjoy more free flowing space, with pop up restaurants, food stalls and markets helping create the perfect setting for a summer music festival.
In addition, the Brisbane and Adelaide editions of Laneway will also be open to punters 16 years and older for the first time.
