St Jerome’s Laneway Festival has announced the lineup for 2026 and festivalgoers have been sent into a frenzy over the headliner.
Chappell Roan, who won Best New Artist at this year’s Grammy Awards, will be performing at the annual event, which is held in Auckland, Sydney, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
The 27-year-old is set to bring her hit songs Pink Pony Club, Good Luck, Babe and HOT TO GO! to stages across the country in February next year, which will mark three years since she was last in Australia performing her debut tour.
Also set to perform at next year’s Laneway is Kiwi star Benee, British singer PinkPantheress and Deeply Still In Love hitmaker Role Model, who famously dated YouTuber and social media star Emma Chamberlain.
Wolf Alice, The Dare, Alex G, Gigi Perez, Yung Lean & Bladee, Wet Leg and Mt. Joy are also part of the line-up.
