Sideshow Alley: Laneway Festival

The massive Laneway Festival lineup—announced last month—now gets its share around the country with a majority of the international stars performing a handful of sideshows. The festival, topped by Mac DeMarco, Father John Misty, Slowdive and more, will head around the country from the 2nd of February to the 11th.

As usual, Sydney and Melbourne audiences will be treated to additional shows from a list of the heavyweight stars of the Laneway Festival. Mac DeMarco will be joined with his friend Kirin J Callinan for a pair of shows; Alex Cameron will be returning to Australian shores for the first time under his solo moniker and Slowdive continue their special reunion with a couple of intimate shows.

Changes to the below list are sure to occur so we’ll keep you updated as things shift, move and sell out.
