Laneway Festival returns in 2027 – featuring the likes of Fontaines D.C., The Hayley Williams Show, Slayyyter, ADÉLA, Kim Petras, MUNA, Ninajirachi, Rico Nasty, and many more.
No longer an underground secret, Slayyyter makes her Aotearoa debut in 2027, ready to ‘CRANK IT’. With a meteoric breakthrough trajectory comparable to Laneway alumni like Chappell Roan and Charli XCX, she joins the bill as an undeniable pop phenomenon following an internet-breaking Coachella performance and a Reading & Leeds mainstage set in front of a crowd of 80,000 people.The popstar contingent continues with Slavic singer and dancer ADÉLA, a standout musical talent fast becoming the breakout artist of the year with hits like ‘Ain't in LA’ and ‘Nicole Kidman’ — currently claiming a #1 song in the US alongside top 10 placements across Australia and New Zealand — making her performance an essential, unmissable highlight. Plus, sleaze-pop queen Kim Petras who is fresh off releasing Detour, her best record to date; MUNA delivering their signature slice of heavenly, euphoric synth-pop; and the sharp, infectious indie-pop sounds of Rachel Chinouriri.
For electronic music fans, multi-talented powerhouse Australian producer Ninajirachi marks a meteoric rise to headliner of the Everything Ecstatic Stage in 2027, leading the charge alongside HorsegiirL, who gallops in from her Berlin barn to debut her new live show. The lineup continues with enigmatic internet rapper Rommulas, PC Music pioneer Danny L Harle, Australian-Filipino artist Daine with their maximalist experimental pop, electronic rap auteur Jane Remover, and glitchy hyper-pop artist Tiffany Day.
In classic Laneway fashion, the 2027 bill delivers a multigenre collision of alternative, hip hop, punk, and indie, including the Laneway debut of US rapper Rico Nasty, the return of Brooklyn shoegaze heroes DIIV after over a decade, the deviant pop of Los Angeles band Automatic, and Australian indie punk artist Ecca Vandal. Plus, an exciting contingent of up and coming Irish artists – Bleech 9:3, Florence Road, and Gurriers – feature alongside hometown heroes Balu Brigada, MOKOMOKAI, Office Dog, Greatsouth and O & The Mo. Between sets, 1TBSP and live-coding genius DJ_Dave will provide the soundtrack to an unforgettable day of live music.
