It’s a big day for the girlies. Laneway Festival has dropped its lineup for 2026, confirming rumours that Chappell Roan will be headlining the festival. The Midwest Princess will be making her way Down Under alongside PinkPantheress, Role Model, Wolf Alice, Wet Leg. Last year, festival goers snapped up tickets to Laneway to catch Charli XCX and ended up getting Olivia Dean and Clairo thrown in. This year, they’re again leading with a pop girlie; it will be Roan’s first visit to Australian shores since her Midwest Princess Tour in 2023.
