Get ready, music fans – Laneway Festival is back for 2025, bringing a killer lineup of live acts across Australia and New Zealand.
Kicking off in February, this Trans-Tasman favourite is set to deliver an unforgettable festival experience. And after plenty of speculation online, we finally have confirmation that one Charli XCX will be bringing her brat album down under. Joining her on the killer lineup are other international acts like Olivia Dean, Clairo and Beabadoobee, as well as BICEP, CHROMA, Remi Wolf, and Barry Can't Swim.
Sadly, Chappell Roan isn't included on the list, despite letting the internet know earlier this year that she had plans to be touring New Zealand in February.
With the lineup , dates and venues locked in, here’s everything you need to know to start planning.
Is Charli XCX playing at Laneway Festival?
Early on October 2, Triple J posted a very cryptic video of a recently-posted-up roadside sign that very clearly seems to allude to a brat Laneway. Now, we know that this was, indeed a hint, and Charli XCX is our 2025 Laneway Festival headliner. But will Troye, Lorde, Addison and the rest of the SWEAT tour crew be joining? Only time will tell.
