TLDR

Laneway Festival has confirmed Fontaines D.C. and Hayley Williams as headliners for 2027, with a 10-act bill across four cities. Adelaide and Perth are off the schedule. Presale opens 7 October, general sale follows 8 October.

## Laneway names its 2027 headliners

There is a particular confidence in booking Irish post-punk as your festival's tent-pole act. Laneway has long understood that a headliner is a statement of aesthetic intent. Fontaines D.C. and Hayley Williams sit atop the 2027 bill. The statement is fairly unambiguous. This is a festival with opinions about itself.

Laneway Festival announced the full 2027 lineup on 29 September 2026\. The festival named Fontaines D.C. and solo artist Hayley Williams as headliners.[\[1\]](https://au.variety.com/2026/music/news/laneway-festival-2027-reveals-lineup-tickets-dates-40847/?ref=bushletter.com) The supporting bill adds Slayyyter, ADÉLA, Kim Petras, MUNA, Ninajirachi, Rico Nasty, DIIV and Rachel Chinouriri. This brings the confirmed lineup to ten acts.[\[1\]](https://au.variety.com/2026/music/news/laneway-festival-2027-reveals-lineup-tickets-dates-40847/?ref=bushletter.com)

Laneway Festival 2024 | Lineup Announcement

## Four cities, two cities fewer

Adelaide and Perth have been dropped from the 2027 tour schedule. Dates now run across Sydney's Centennial Park on 12 February and Brisbane Showgrounds on 13 February. The tour reaches Melbourne's Flemington Park on 19 February and Auckland's Western Springs on 21 February.[\[1\]](https://au.variety.com/2026/music/news/laneway-festival-2027-reveals-lineup-tickets-dates-40847/?ref=bushletter.com) Two of Australia's five mainland capital cities have quietly disappeared from the run sheet.

A festival spokesperson reached for the optimistic register. "Taking a pause allows us to focus on freeing up time for more artists to bring headline shows to cities beyond our festival stops," the spokesperson said.[\[1\]](https://au.variety.com/2026/music/news/laneway-festival-2027-reveals-lineup-tickets-dates-40847/?ref=bushletter.com) Co-founder Danny Rogers kept things considerably more personal. "I'm still more interested in finding who the next Charli is, who the next Fontaines D.C. is, you know," Rogers said.[\[1\]](https://au.variety.com/2026/music/news/laneway-festival-2027-reveals-lineup-tickets-dates-40847/?ref=bushletter.com)
