The rumours surrounding the hotly anticipated 2014 Laneway festival can finally be put to rest, with the lineup finally revealed to punters this morning. Proving itself as THE festival for discerning music fans, the 2014 event will tour a huge collection of local and international artists around the country. Joining the bill will be King Krule , Young NZ songstress Lorde , Chvrches , Cashmere Cat, Earl Sweatshirt, Jamie XX , Haim and cult electronic whizz-kid XXYYXX . They’ll be accompanied by huge range of Aussie artists including Vance Joy , Cloud Control , Jagwar Ma , The Jezabels and more.
Without doubt, this is one of the finest assortments of musical acts to grace our shores in quite some time.
Over its eleven year history, the now eight-city boutique event has carved out a niche in the hectic festival market, gaining both international acclaim and respect as well as an unrivalled rep for programming the new talent you’ll be falling for over the summer. This years Laneway will introduce a bunch of new changes and improvements to all of the sites. Quality food, unmatched locations, and an impressive exhibition of local art: it’s going to be unreal.
Programming director and co-founder Danny Rogers says:
‘We’re exceptionally proud of this year’s lineup. As usual, the artists have been chosen on the strength of their music and their ability to deliver an insanely great live show. It’s why we couldn’t resist bringing a few international acts back and it’s why we are so thrilled to introduce you to some of the most exciting new artists this side of the world has seen for the very first time. This country has so many incredibly talented artists; if only we could bring them all along.’
Laneway Festival 2014 will kick off Saturday, 25th January in Singapore, before crossing over to Aukland, New Zealand, then returning to Australia for Brisbane (31st Jan), Melbourne (1st Feb), Sydney (2nd Feb), Port-Adelaide (7th Feb) Fremantle (8th Feb).
