Laneway 2025 Lineup: Our Predictions
Ah, Laneway. The annual festival that brings the hottest international and local acts to our shores. It's the perfect mix of indie, alternative, and electronic music, all crammed into a few glorious days.
With Laneway 2024 just around the corner, we're already daydreaming about who might grace the stages in 2025. The lineup is always a surprise, but we’ve got our predictions based on current trends, recent releases, and a healthy dose of wishful thinking.
International Acts We'd Love to See
- The 1975: They're a staple in the indie scene, known for their energetic live shows and chart-topping hits. They've got a new album coming out, so a Laneway appearance would be a no-brainer.
- Florence + The Machine: Their theatrical performances and epic sound would be a perfect fit for the festival. Plus, their latest album "Ceremonials" is a masterpiece.
- Lorde: She's a Kiwi legend, and her haunting vocals and introspective lyrics would captivate the crowd. She's currently touring, so maybe she's warming up for a Laneway appearance?
- Gorillaz: This virtual band is constantly evolving, pushing the boundaries of music and visuals. Seeing them live would be an unforgettable experience.
- Phoebe Bridgers: Her somber, ethereal music would create a magical vibe at the festival. She's definitely on the rise, and a Laneway set would be a big moment for her.
Local Acts We'd Love to See
- RÜFÜS DU SOL: These Aussie electro-pop gods are always a crowd-pleaser. Their live shows are legendary, and they've got a dedicated fanbase.
- King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard: This band is known for their unpredictable live performances and experimental music. It would be an absolute riot to see them play Laneway.
- Amy Shark: Her pop anthems are infectious, and she's got the stage presence to command the crowd. Her music is a surefire way to get the party started.
- Tame Impala: They're already a Laneway alumni, but we wouldn't mind seeing them back. Their psychedelic soundscapes are a perfect fit for the festival.
- The Teskey Brothers: Their soulful melodies and bluesy vocals would bring a different vibe to the festival. They've got a raw, passionate energy that's captivating.
