Laneway Festival Shrinks to Four Cities, Sydney to Kick Off 2027 Tour

Laneway Festival has announced its 2027 schedule, with Sydney's Centennial Park hosting the opening date on February 12, marking the first time the city leads the tour. The four-stop run also includes Brisbane, Melbourne, and Auckland, while Adelaide and Perth are omitted as organizers scale back the event. The lineup is expected to be revealed in late September, following the recent departure of festival director Jessie Parker after 16 years.
