Laneway Festival Sydney 2025 was an absolute blast, bringing together an epic mix of music, amazing artists, and some surprise moments that had fans buzzing. While the Sydney event did feel a bit overcrowded at times, the energy and excitement made up for it, with everyone coming together to enjoy some top-notch performances.
Some of the biggest highlights of the day were the collaborations that fans were lucky to witness. Charli XCX brought her usual high-energy performance, and the crowd loved it. Her surprise appearance with Clairo in Melbourne had everyone talking, and her Sydney set was just as captivating.
Joey Valence and Brae were absolutely killing it. Their energy was off the charts, and the crowd was eating it up. Skegss, Beabadoobee, Olivia Dean, and Remi Wolf all brought their A-game too. Whether it was the high-energy tunes of Skegss or the mellow vibes of Beabadoobee, there was something for everyone. "2Hollis carried," someone mentioned in the Discord, capturing just how much energy certain acts brought to the stage.
The overcrowding in Sydney was definitely noticeable, but it didn’t really take away from the overall vibe. As one member in the That Festival Site Discord Community shared, "Sydney seemed way over capacity," but even with that, the performances were still top-notch. With over 200,000 fans across sold-out events, Laneway 2025 was the festival's biggest year yet, and it was clear why. The lineup, the atmosphere, and the overall vibe made it an unforgettable day for everyone who was lucky enough to be there.
The festival’s co-founders, Danny Rogers and Jerome Borazio, shared their gratitude for the success of 2025, saying, "On behalf of the extended Laneway Festival team, we would like to send a heartfelt thank you to all the artists, amazing people behind the scenes and the beautiful music fans who made the 2025 edition of Laneway our new North Star." The passion and dedication they expressed in their message clearly reflected in the festival’s incredible lineup and the unforgettable experiences shared by fans.
Massive shout-out to the Laneway team for making this festival one to remember. If 2025 is any indication, Laneway is only going to get bigger and better in the years to come.
