Laneway Festival 2025 Sideshows

Top-Bottom: JVB, Olivia Dean, Julie
Our eclectic team of writers from around Australia – and a couple beyond – with decades of combined experience and interest in all fields.

Tickets are flying for next year’s Laneway Festival – it has already sold out in Sydney and Melbourne, with a limited amount remaining for the other cities.


Luckily, fans who missed out – or simply need more, and why not – the sideshows for this year’s Laneway Festival have landed.

Olivia Dean


Bright rising UK start Olivia Dean heads down under for the first time. She’s beloved for her diverse musicality, endearing and down-to-earth lyrics, and magnetic live performances. Her debut album, ‘Messy’, was shortlisted for Mercury Prize Album Of The Year, reaching #4 on the UK Album Chart.


11 February – Roundhouse (Sydney)
13 February – Forum (Melbourne)

Joey Valence & Brae


These guys went from college students to DIY sensations almost overnight – thanks to their 2021 viral hit ‘Double Jump’. In 2023, JVB released their first full-length album ‘PUNK TACTICS’, which has amassed more than 129 million streams from the title track alone. Sophomore album ‘NO HANDS’ takes all the energy from the debut, and amplifies it.


10 February – Liberty Hall (Sydney)
12 February – 170 Russell (Melbourne)

Julie


Los Angeles band and art project Julie exploded on to the scene in 2020 with debut single ‘flutter’. In the four years since, they’ve opened for the likes of Alex G and Faye Webster, combining shoegaze, grunge, and post-punk, and stomping over genre and stylistic bounds on their heavy-hitter debut album ‘my anti-aircraft friend’. They bring their project to Australia for the very first time in February.


13 February – Factory Theatre (Sydney)
15 February – Corner Hotel (Melbourne)
