'Very exciting': Laneway unveils 2027 line-up ahead of festival

The famed trans-tasman Laneway festival has released its 2027 line-up - featuring a range of international icons.

Irish post-punk band Fontaines DC is headlining on the back of a sell-out European arena tour, alongside Paramore frontwoman, Hayley Williams.

Auckland's Western Springs is hosting the festival on February 21.

NZ Herald journalist Imogene Bedford says this Laneway line-up feels like a return to the festival's roots, with more small niche artists over big headliners.

"I guess for the last couple of years, we've had Charli, and then we had Chappell as these big, huge main headliners - and now we're moving back to what it used to be."
