Overview
There's only a few weeks left before music festival Laneway descends on Auckland's Western Springs on Tuesday, February 6, with Stormzy, Steve Lacy and Dominic Fike just some of the talent set to perform at the day-long gig. We know who we'll be singing and dancing along to, but what about what we're eating?
Like years prior, Laneway makes sure to source and serve up the best festival food that Auckland has to offer, whether it be a full meal or a snack to cool you down between sets. Starting with the more gourmet offerings, the teams behind some of Auckland's best Italian food at Pici and Pane E Vino will be serving up pizza and pasta — a clever way to line the stomach while fuelling you for a big day of dancing.
Other vendors include Mexican food truck Taco Loco, which will be shilling tacos, quesadillas and nachos — as well as Japanese and Korean fusion restaurant Karaage Boy, which will be travelling up to Laneway from Wellington to provide punters with its Japanese fried chicken, rolls and bowls.
Everyone's favourite gelato store Duck Island has been named as the festival's official ice-cream truck, scooping sweets treat in the midday sun. If you're looking for more-traditional festival food options, hotdogs, kebabs and hot chips will also be available to snack on.
Bars will be positioned throughout the festival site, and punters will be allowed to bring an empty drink bottle to the festival and fill up at one of the many water stations. The vendors will also be catering to those with dietary requirements, with vegan fast food favourite Lord of the Fries whipping up its all-vegan burgers and fries, and plenty of options for festivalgoers needing dairy-free or gluten-free options.
Laneway Festival 2024 takes place on Tuesday, February 6 at Auckland's Western Springs Park. For more information and tickets, head to the festival's website.
