Laneway Festival is back with a stacked 2026 lineup, unveiling one of its most ambitious bills yet as the beloved trans-Tasman event turns 21. With 35% more artists than previous editions and a brand new East Coast stage, this summer’s run promises a bold celebration of new music, cult favourites, and long-awaited Australian debuts.

Topping the list is Chappell Roan, finally making her Laneway debut with a full-scale 90-minute headline set. The gothic pop sensation brings her theatrical production to Australia for the first time ever in what’s sure to be a highlight of the season. She’s joined by returning favourites Wolf Alice, delivering an exclusive Laneway performance to remind us of their Mercury Prize-winning magic.

The festival also boasts a run of exclusive appearances including PinkPantheress, Role Model, Wet Leg, and a rare collaborative set from Swedish rap icons Yung Lean & Bladee. Indie stars like Lucy Dacus, Alex G, BENEE, Cavetown, Mt. Joy and The Dare round out the stacked international list, alongside a sharp selection of rising artists and homegrown talent.

Here's What Tickets Will Cost for Laneway Festival 2026 in Australia and New Zealand.

Knotfest Australia has officially announced a break in 2026, confirming that the heavy music festival will return in 2027. After three powerful years, the Slipknot-curated event will take a short pause to regroup and return stronger than ever. The news follows months of speculation surrounding the future of the Australian leg of the global metal festival brand.

“After three incredible years – made unforgettable by the fans and the artists that shared the stage across each lineup – we’ll be taking a short break in 2026,” organisers shared in a statement released with Destroy All Lines and TEG. They assured fans that this time off will be used to plan the “best Knotfest Australia yet” for its comeback year in 2027.

The 2025 edition featured Slipknot headlining alongside BABYMETAL, Slaughter to Prevail, and a massive roster of international and local metal acts. It was widely praised by both fans and artists, including Polaris frontman Jamie Hails, who called the experience “something special” and a festival that would go down “in the history books” for Australian heavy music.

While Knotfest’s absence in 2026 may disappoint fans, the launch of Parkway Drive’s new festival, Park Waves, will help fill the void. The debut Australian edition kicks off on 14th February, 2026, in Perth and will hit regional centres across the country including Adelaide, Geelong, Wollongong, and Byron Bay. Parkway Drive will headline, joined by The Amity Affliction, Northlane, Alpha Wolf, and Story of the Year.
