Laneway Festival Lineup Announced: Headliners, Tickets and More Revealed


Australia is getting its own brat summer. The 2025 Laneway Festival lineup has officially been announced, with British pop superstar Charli XCX set to headline six massive shows in February 2025. According to event organisers, the ‘Von Dutch’ singer’s unique brand of hyper-pop will appear as a festival exclusive, with no solo shows currently in the works, however, Aussie fans won’t be left in the lurch. Charli XCX is set to hit the stage in Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth as part of Laneway’s biggest and most expansive tour run so far.

For fans of Charli XCX, the Laneway lineup announcement confirms long-held suspicions. Earlier this month, images of the first Laneway promotional posters went viral, courtesy of a familiar lime green hue. That morsel of information was enough to send the rumour into overdrive and speculation quickly mounted that Charli XCX, fresh off the release of her critically acclaimed sixth studio album Brat, would take honours as Laneway headliner. On Wednesday, confirmation finally came.

“This has to be my favourite Laneway lineup we’ve ever put together,” Laneway Festival programming coordinator Ruby Miles told The AU Review. “I’m such a fangirl of all of these artists! Having Charli XCX as our headliner is a dream come true, but the lineup’s depth from gates open until gates close will make Laneway 2025 so special.”

Joining Charli XCX on the Laneway stage for 2025 is British pop singer Beabadoobee, who makes their first return to Australian shores since 2022, alongside the soulful work of Olivia Dean and the party vibes of homegrown heroes Skegss. Dance legends BICEP and Barry Can’t Swim will also be on hand, as will alt-pop star Remi Wolf, LA shoe-gaze act julie, Fcukers, DJ Hamdi, and 2hollis. The 2025 Laneway lineup also marks a poignant return to domestic support, with one-third of the acts announced for the music festival hailing from Australia.

In recent months, the Australian music festival scene has taken a battering, with popular mainstays Splendour in the Grass, Bluesfest and Groovin the Moo all succumbing to financial pressures. These cancellations have left a gaping hole in the nation’s live music sector, prompting many to question the viability of the festival circuit. Laneway Festival appears to have bucked the trend, however, with the official lineup marking a welcomed return to programming.

Tickets for Laneway Festival 2025 will be available from Wednesday, October 16 with pre-sale tickets available from Tuesday, 15 October 2024. You will need to register for the pre-sale access, which you can do directly through the Laneway website.
