Laneway 2024 is now right around the corner and we couldn't be more excited to get to see some of our favourite artists live!

To prepare and get ready for the big day, we've made you a quick and easy checklist of things you should know before heading to the festival...

#1. The awesome line-up is something you should definitely get familiar with. You can listen to the official Laneway playlist below to get familiar with some old favourites and maybe some new artists you're gearing up to see...

Rachel Chinouriri has released the video for her new single, 'Never Need Me' - starring none other than Academy Award nominated Florence Pugh. Alongside the release of the single, Chinouriri has also announced her highly anticipated debut album, 'What A Devastating Turn Of Events', set to release on May 3rd 2024.

Kiwi artists Riiki Reid and Balu Brigada have teamed up to release their brand new song, 'Like You'.

Reid shares further about the track: “I initially begun writing this song back on the 21st of October 2019, I was really inspired by dream pop artists as I was growing up and sort of diving into the alternative music scene in Wellington. It was left on standby until this year when I partnered up with Balu Brigada who I am just such a fan of.”

Listen to the song below...

'Mean Girls' is back! The new 2024 film is a remake of the cult classic 2004 film - this time in musical style! The film is directed by Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr., with the screenplay written by none other than Tina Fey.

"New student Cady Heron gets welcomed into the top of the social food chain by an elite group of popular girls called the Plastics, ruled by the conniving queen bee Regina George. However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina's ex-boyfriend, she soon finds herself caught in their crosshairs."

The events that transpire in 'Boy Swallows Universe' are so chaotic that many may doubt that it’s pulled from a true story that was actually lived by someone. But the story is true — lifted directly from the beloved 2018 Australian book penned by Trent Dalton. It’s a book that is loosely inspired by Dalton’s own childhood and what he experienced and became a fixture in the Australian zeitgeist.

Jack Antonoff has shared a video for the new Bleachers song, 'Tiny Moves' - choreographed and co-directed by Margaret Qualley.
