St Jerome's Laneway Festival 2017

Overview

It's been 12 years since Danny Rogers and Jerome Borazio decided to fill a Melbourne alleyway with tunes in 2005. Heading back to their collection of unconventional venues for another year, Laneway Festival has announced its 2017 lineup.

Returning to Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Fremantle, Auckland and Singapore next January and February, Laneway will raise a plastic cup to the middle of summer with one heck of a killer lineup.

After years of trying to squeeze more shade out of a former petro-chemical storage facility, the Auckland leg of St. Jerome's Laneway Festival has finally announced its move to inner city oasis and "dream location" Albert Park.

The 2017 edition of the festival will be held in the lush surrounds of the park with two main stages on Princes Street and the Thunderdome down the laneway-like Alfred Street. The enhanced festival will also include a bigger range of street food and bar options, and of course the abundant grass and shade that Albert Park offers. While the new site is 70% bigger than Silo Park, for comfort's sake organisers are keeping the capacity the same.

Following the already announced appearance of AB Original and Chet Faker (or is it Nick Murphy now?), Laneway will see one heck of a crew on their stages, including Aussies Tame Impala — who will be only doing Laneway this time, no sideshows.

Oxford band Glass Animals will be coming out for the festival, along with other international acts Tourist, Tycho, Nao and riot grrl Kathleen Hanna. There's plenty of local love on the lineup too, with Gang of Youths, Jagwar Ma, Sampa the Great and Camp Cope all making appearances.
