Fresh from making their debut in Detroit, the St Jerome's Laneway Festival has announced the line-up for its 2014 Australian homecoming.
Programming director and co-founder Danny Rogers is justifiably proud of the bill: "As usual, the artists have been chosen on the strength of their music and their ability to deliver an insanely great live show. It's why we couldn't resist bringing a few international acts back and it's why we are so thrilled to introduce you to some of the most exciting new artists this side of the world has seen for the very first time. This country has so many incredibly talented artists; if only we could bring them all along."
