Nine New Acts Added To 2024 Laneway Festival Line-up

Just days after announcing the triple j Unearthed competition winners added to the 2024 Laneway Festival line-up, the event has grown even larger with two new stages and nine additional acts joining the bill in Melbourne and Sydney.

We’re just three weeks out from this year’s Laneway, and for fans of bands with guitars or those waiting for more EDM bangers, today’s announcement has you covered. In collaboration with Jameson Irish Whiskey, a fifth stage is being added at Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse called Jameson’s House of Rounds at St Jerome’s Bar.

The revamped St Jerome’s Bar will host indie-rock rising stars The Buoys, Australia’s funniest punk band, These New South Whales, as well as ripping fan favourites The Belair Lip Bombs, CIVIC and Dust.

While guitars will be heard in Melbourne, Sydney will welcome a fifth stage, too: The Chop Shop, a multi-level dance party starring some of Australia’s coolest DJs, 1tbsp, C.FRIM, RONA. and Jai Piccone.

In a statement, festival founder Jerome Borazio said about the return to the early days of Laneway Festival with St Jerome’s Bar in Melbourne, “You can take the festival out of the bar, but you can’t take the bar out of the festival.

“The original St Jerome’s Bar was the heart of Laneway Festival. It had a rebellious spirit, a wild energy and welcomed creative people from all walks of life. Jameson House of Rounds will reflect the original essence of the bar with its incredible line-up, and we’re looking forward to it being an ongoing part of Laneway Festival.”

Last week, triple j Unearthed competition winners Platonic Sex (performing in Brisbane), Chloe Dadd (Sydney), The Tullamarines (Adelaide), Suzi (Melbourne), and Otiuh (Perth) were added to the Laneway Festival line-up in their cities.

This year’s Laneway Festival will be headlined by Stormzy, Dominic Fike and Steve Lacy, the first two headliners festival exclusives. Steve Lacy recently announced sideshows to accompany his festival appearances, performing two headline dates at the Sydney Opera House.

Laneway 2024 begins at Brisbane Showgrounds on Saturday, 3 February, then heads to Sydney Showgrounds on Sunday, 4 February, before going to Bonython Park in Adelaide on Friday, 9 February. Saturday, 10 February, will see the event take over The Park, Flemington in Melbourne and then Sunday, 11 February’s final show will be in Wellington Square in Perth.
