Girls to the front as pop powers through the 2025 Laneway Festival lineup.
Tastemaker touring festival, Laneway Festival have officially revealed the 2025 lineup – and it’s one for the history books. As the rumour mill spun hard over the last couple of weeks thanks to teasers littered across city centres, Laneway Festival can finally put punters out of their misery bringing the biggest trifecta of female pop talent to the stage! With a reputation for booking future icons and having its finger on the global pulse, the Trans-Tasman touring festival has outdone itself this year.
Laneway Festival is bringing brat summer down under! The name on everyone’s brain, Charli xcx, will return to Australia and New Zealand to perform exclusively at Laneway Festival. In celebration of Charli’s return, a few national landmarks will turn brat green over the next couple of days. In a pop explosion, Charli xcx is joined by two powerhouses with Beabadoobee and Clairo also topping the lineup.

Joining the 365 party girl at Laneway Festival is British bedroom pop rock icon Beabadoobee, fellow Laneway Festival alumni, the eternally charming Clairo, one of the biggest names in UK dance, BICEP, who present their new AV DJ show CHROMA, alternative pop queen Remi Wolf and dance floor euphoria expert Barry Can’t Swim.
With music discovery at its core, 100% of the Laneway Festival lineup has released new music this year, and a third of the lineup will tour Australia for the very first time. The debutants are British neo-soul star Olivia Dean, heavy hitting LA shoe-gazers julie, hip hop’s most energetic new arrival Joey Valence & Brae, NYC’s most in-demand band Fcukers, UK dubstep DJ Hamdi and the enigmatic electropop artist 2hollis.
Joining Laneway Festival’s international contingent are local heroes Skegss who enter a new era with their forthcoming album out this month; Subpop-signed Brisbane band Girl and Girl, and cutting-edge electronic artists RONA., STÜM and Ninajirachi.
Laneway Festival Programming Coordinator Ruby Miles, who is responsible for lineup scouting and scouring the internet for new artists, says “This has to be my favourite Laneway lineup we’ve ever put together – I’m such a fangirl of all of these artists! Having Charli xcx as our headliner is a dream come true, but the lineup’s depth from gates open until gates close will make Laneway 2025 so special.”
