Laneway Sideshows Announced for Chvrches, Jagwar Ma, Savages and More
Laneway sideshows to kind of make up for dying Aussie music festivals.
As Australia grieves the loss of some of our favourite music festivals — plagued by fatally low ticket sales (see Harvest and Homebake) — Laneway has come out the other end of the tunnel and found the light. Its killer lineup has a taste for everyone, and while The Jezabels, Cloud Control, Haim, Lorde and Unknown Mortal Orchestra have committed to playing St. Jeromes Laneway exclusively, a few crowd-pleasing sideshows have today been announced.
Among the announced sideshows is American R&B boy Autre Ne Veut for his first Aussie visit, along with London trio Daughter and Scottish trio Chvrches, who cemented a huge Aussie fan base with their recent sell-out tour and will this time be supported by Sydney producer Elizabeth Rose. Also joining the list is Sydney duo Jagwar Ma, with support from fellow Laneway alumni and Sydney boy Jonti.
London punk chicks Savages will be supported by Sydney muso Kirin J Callinan for what'll undoubtedly be some unpredictable shows. British singer/songwriter and teen King Krule incorporates elements of jazz, dubstep and hip-hop in his tunes. Support for his over 18 shows are to be announced, while Scottish indie rock band Frightened Rabbit will also have Sydney and Melbourne shows across January and February.
