As we quickly approach Laneway Festival season, the beloved travelling music event has announced its set times, added a new act to the bill, and revealed afterparty details.
Punters can access playing times and start organising their days on the official Laneway Festival app, which is available on iOS and Android.
However, if you want to see the schedule in your city without downloading an app, the festival team has posted the set times on social media, with screenshot-ready Instagram Stories online now and a swipe-through post.
Gates open between 11:30 am and 1 pm across the cities hosting Laneway this year, with the fun ending at 9:55 pm in most cities, while it wraps up at 10:55 pm in Melbourne. You can check out the set times below and start planning your day.
The schedule for each city has arrived as a final, limited batch of tickets has become available for the previously sold-out events in Melbourne and Sydney. Expected to move fast, you can lock in your tickets via the Laneway Festival website.
The announcement also arrives as festival organisers added another act, Spanish Moroccan breakout DJ Mina Galán, to the bill, and detailed afterparties in Auckland, the Gold Coast, Sydney and Melbourne, with DJ sets booked from Laneway acts and local favourites.
This year’s Laneway Festival features a 90-minute headlining set from Chappell Roan, with favourites such as Wolf Alice, Geese, Role Model, Wet Leg, Alex G, PinkPantheress, Lucy Dacus, Yung Lean and Bladee, and many others performing.
