Fontaines D.C. and Hayley Williams Lead Laneway 2027

Fontaines D.C. and Hayley Williams have been announced as headliners for the 2027 edition of Laneway Festival. Fontaines D.C. will return to Laneway after four years with an extended main-stage set featuring new music from their fifth album, Dopamine Chamber. Hayley Williams will bring The Hayley Williams Show to Laneway for her first Australian festival performances as a solo artist.

Williams' extended set will include songs from her solo catalogue, including Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, an album with four Grammy nominations. Ninajirachi, who appeared at the festival as an interstitial DJ in 2025, will headline the Everything Ecstatic Stage in 2027.

Laneway Festival 2027 will begin at Centennial Park in Sydney on Friday, February 12, before moving to Flemington Park in Melbourne on Friday, February 19, and Western Springs in Auckland on Sunday, February 21. Adelaide and Perth will be removed from the tour schedule. Organisers cited the logistical requirements of staging multiple festivals across Australia and New Zealand in a short period among the reasons for the change.

Laneway Festival 2027 ticket presales will begin on Wednesday, October 7, with general sales starting Thursday, October 8. Both sales will begin at 10am or 11am local time across different cities, using AEDT, AEST or NZDT. The 2026 edition marked the festival's 21st anniversary and included Chappell Roan, Wolf Alice, Role Model, Wet Leg, PinkPantheress and Geese.
