Laneway Festival
The St. Jerome's Laneway Festival, commonly referred to as Laneway, is a music festival that takes place in cities across Australia and New Zealand, since 2005. Beginning as predominantly an indie music event, the festival grew in popularity and expanded to five Australian cities – Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Fremantle / Perth – as well as Auckland (New Zealand), and Singapore (2011–2018).
St. Jerome's Laneway Festival began in Caledonian Lane, Melbourne, Australia, on Sunday 27 February 2005. The "St. Jerome's Summer Series" took place each Sunday afternoon, created by Jerome Borazio and Danny Rogers and featuring new bands of the time, including The Presets and Architecture in Helsinki. They then included a monthly Saturday night called "Brains", which was actually a residency for musical act The Avalanches, and Borazio and Rogers eventually convinced The Avalanches that they could close the lane, remove the bins and stage a laneway party. With the addition of promotional material and other acts, the inaugural St. Jerome's Laneway Festival was launched. The line-up included: The Avalanches, Art of Fighting, Eskimo Joe, The Dears, Cut Copy, Architecture in Helsinki, Clare Bowditch, the Feeding Set and Gersey.
Following a total attendance of 1,400 people at the first Laneway Festival, it was announced later in 2005 that Laneway was expanding to Sydney.[citation needed]
In 2006, both Melbourne and Sydney hosted a line-up of both international and domestic artists, including: Broken Social Scene, Les Savy Fav, Gossip, Pretty Girls Make Graves, The Avalanches, The Posies, The Hold Steady, The Raveonettes and The Drones.
Just as Sydney's Laneway was becoming further established, Brisbane venue The Zoo staged the festival in 2007. A combination of street party and music show included performances from The Walkmen, Yo La Tengo, Peter Bjorn and John, Camera Obscura and Snowman.
In 2008, Laneway found a home at the Fowler's Live venue in Adelaide. Laneway Festival 2008 included performances by Feist, Gotye, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Presets, Stars, The Vasco Era, The Panics and Okkervil River.
Laneway Festival Perth happened for the first time in 2009, which was well-reviewed by FasterLouder.
The 2009 event featured Girl Talk, Stereolab, Architecture In Helsinki, The Hold Steady, The Drones, Cut Off Your Hands, Four Tet, Tame Impala, El Guincho, Jay Reatard, Buraka Som Sistema (DJ/MC set), The Temper Trap and No Age.
