The St. Jerome's Laneway Festival (or "Laneway") first occurred in Melbourne, Australia's Caledonian Lane, in 2005. It was a small-scale independent music festival. However, due to its growing popularity over the years, it has extended its reach from five cities across Australia - Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Fremantle- to two more countries, Auckland, New Zealand, and Singapore!
It started with the St. Jerome's Summer Series, a regular Sunday event created and hosted by Jerome Borazio and Danny Rogers to expose undiscovered talent like The Presets and Architecture in Helsinki. It would later become known as the renowned St. Jerome's Laneway Festival! To further the enjoyment of their patrons, they added a regular Saturday night event called "Brains," with The Avalanches as its residency. Borazio and Rogers subsequently persuaded The Avalanches that it was viable for them to block off the lane, remove the bins, and create an alleyway celebration. After adding promotional items and other acts, St. Jerome's Laneway Festival officially commenced!
Now get ready to mark your calendars because Laneway Festival is coming back in February 2023. After a two-year absence, the much-loved St Jerome's Laneway Festival returns to Adelaide in February 2023 with a bang! Fans of this remarkable Australian music event have been missing it for two years and can expect a spectacular show that promises to exceed all expectations. While the festival may look different from before - having moved from Port Adelaide to Bonython Park - one thing remains unchanged: its commitment to providing an unforgettable experience for all attendees.
Be part of the fun at Laneway Fest in Bonython Park, and jam to some fantastic tunes from headlining acts. The festival will welcome back HAIM in 2023 for their Women In Music Pt. III tours! Since 2017, Aussie fans have been missing out on the trio's incredible live show – until now! And let's not forget about Phoebe Bridgers, who has blown up since her last visit here in 2019.
Prepare your tissues and be prepared to experience an emotional rollercoaster of laughs, tears, and pure musical bliss from this stellar artist. Joining them will be the Irish firebrands Fontaines D.C., Japanese singer-songwriter Joji and award-winning U.S. musician FINNEAS (brother to Billie Eilish). Laneway 2023 is going rock - don't miss it!
