Live Review + Photos: Laneway Festival 2015

In the six years that Laneway Festival has been held in Auckland, yesterday’s event was certainly the biggest and, by general consensus, the best. The sold-out festival operated on Swiss-watch set changes, had excellent sound quality (with exception of the Thunderdome where the curved concrete walls meant that things could get regrettably muddy from time-to-time), well managed facilities such as toilets, bars and catering.
