Laneway Lineup Grows

We know what you’re probably thinking, Laneway Festival couldn’t get any better. Well reader, you’re wrong, because five whole acts have been crammed into the already explosive lineup, with the triple j Unearthed winners being announced to join the 2015 lineup. 

Brisbane based produced JOY has been added to the Brisbane show (you may remember him from the Peking Duk Like A Version on the triple j airwaves a few weeks back). Melbourne will be graced with some hip-hop local legends Milwaukee Banks, Perth with indie-pop it up with Dianas, Adelaide has the rockers of Sparkspitter and Melbourne has nabbed the fast growing indie-poppers I Know Leopard.

These emerging acts will join a bill filled with legends. From Royal Blood, FKA Twiggs, Courtney Barnett and St Vincent just to name a few. The lineup has reached all new heights and will smash it’s way through the country from January 31 next year.
