Months of rumours, leaks, and fake pinups finally came to a head this morning when the St Jerome’s Laneway Festival 2017 lineup dropped, packing names like Tame Impala, Nick Murphy (FKA Chet Faker), and Gang of Youths.
Punters will also be treated to performances from the likes of fiery Australian hip-hop collab project A.B. Original, much-buzzed international Car Seat Headrest, UK favourites Glass Animals, triple j favourite Jess Kent, and more.
triple j once again served as announcement HQ for Laneway 2017 and it wasn’t long before listeners were flooding their text line with all sorts of loose and wack responses to the stacked lineup.
triple j have now recruited the ABC News team to give everyone a report on just how nuts their text line and social media channels got when the announcement was made. You can also check out the full Laneway lineup below.
