Triple J Unearthed Winners Added To Laneway Festival 2026 Line-up

With just two months to go until the 2026 edition of Laneway Festival kicks off, the line-up has expanded, with a batch of acts being added after winning this year’s triple j Unearthed competition.

Next year’s Laneway Festival officially launches in Auckland on February 5th, before heading west for dates in the Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth, with the likes of Chappell Roan, Role Model, Wolf Alice, PinkPantheress, Alex G, Lucy Dacus, and Yung Lean & Bladee on the bill.

Now a batch of up and coming names will be rubbing shoulders with the greats as they find themselves on the stacked bills.

The Gold Coast will play host to indie surf rock outfit Mid Drift, while the Sydney event will be bolstered by the addition of alt pop storyteller Charli Lucas. Alt rock quintet sleepazoid will join the bill in Melbourne, while Adelaide welcomes punchy pop rock four piece PASH, and Perth waves hello to soul, R&B, and alt pop musician Ullah.

“Laneway and triple j Unearthed share a genuine love of supporting artists at early, pivotal moments in their careers,” says Laneway Festival’s Head of Programming, Travis Banko. “This year’s winners each bring something new to the 2026 lineup, and we’re incredibly proud to help spotlight them.”

The upcoming edition of Laneway has already proved to be a massive event, with the Sydney and Melbourne legs of the festival selling out within an hour. Tickets are still on sale for the remaining dates.
