Please don’t attempt to bring any banned items into the Festival as all bags are searched on arrival and items will be confiscated and will not be returned.

R18 … yes, the Festival is an over 18's event.  Anyone who fails to present valid photo ID (current driver’s licence or current passport) upon entry to the Festival will not be allowed into the Festival.  No refunds will be processed for patrons who are denied entry due to not having valid identification for admittance.

St Jerome's Laneway Festival is a fully licensed event operating under a “supervised licence”.  Although no entry is allowed to under 18’s the “supervised license” does allow entry to the Festival for children who are accompanied by a parent or guardian.  These children are restricted from entering the bar areas on site.

We apologise to those of you under 18 who miss out as a result of this, but we look forward to seeing you in a few years. 

Media accreditation has been finalised for this year's Laneway Festival.

We’re all sorted for the 2012 Festival, but thanks anyway. 

The 2012 playing times are now on the site under the 'show day' tab.
