First held at the Sydney Showgrounds, the festival has been a major event for music lovers since 2006.

Commonly known as Laneway, the festival began as a series of weekly concerts in an unassuming bar in the Melbourne CBD in 2005.

It has now exploded in popularity, expanding to five Australian cities (Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Fremantle), as well as Auckland, New Zealand, and Singapore.
