When Fortitude Valley gained its newest laneway, California Lane, it celebrated the occasion with a festival. Of course, there's never a bad time to throw a fest in the Valley, so the suburb's trio of laneways — aka Bakery Lane, Winn Lane and California Lane — are putting on three weekend-long mini festivals between November 3 and 17.
Welcome Back to the Lanes gets underway with live tunes across the three spots, as well as Tym's Guitars, from 11.30am on Saturday, November 3. Then check out three hours of music at Phase 4 from 3pm on Sunday, November 4 — and come back again for the next two weekends.
The times and lineup will change each week, so keep your eyes peeled; however A Love Supreme, Sacred Shrines, Stone Cold Fox and the Pete Allan Collective are among the first acts on the bill.
As well as a free soundtrack, the event is designed to get you soaking up the space between Ann Street, Brunswick Street,
McLachlan Street and Winn Lane — so, between sets, you won't be lacking in places to eat and drink.
