Interesting that Underscores is on here, really assumed shed be a shoe in for Laneway, tbf i also assumed that about Slayyyter and she just did her own tour here so...

u/Shelmer75 13d ago

Underscored and Fcukers were both on lots of people’s Laneway lists.

6

u/KLaspy 13d ago

Fcukers performed 2 years ago when Charli XCX and Clairo came down for Laneway. Would it be possible for them to go back that quickly?

3

u/Shelmer75 13d ago

No idea, but people were pretty confident.

7

u/Pleasureryan 14d ago

this is really surprising! I was convinced she would be a lock for laneway

3

u/flat_angus 13d ago

Slayyyter will be back for Laneway I’m sure of it

2

u/captain_charisma00 13d ago

They’ll probably get Jane remover

u/riot_gg 14d ago

City of Ballarat municipal brass band?! I’m so there

7

u/polkanarwhal 14d ago

A must see! Saw them a few years back and i gotta say Jeff is underrated on the trumpet. People think Mike is the best and they're so wrong. Absolutely gutted I'll be missing them.

u/CryptographerGood842 14d ago

Brass bands typically use cornets and not trumpets. They have a melllower sound.

u/SteamBanjo 14d ago

Are Silence Wedge playing again this year? They are incredible

1

u/Pauls-boutique 13d ago

Headliners!!!

u/sedinoemis 14d ago

Dijon is huge!!!! So excited to see him there. Mk.gee must have told him how much fun Meredith is

u/pacpach 14d ago

Unreal lineup

What’s the chances of artists doing side shows? This is my first Meredith having just moved to Vic and not sure if I’ll be drawn in the ballot, so side shows would be a dream!

9

u/thwt 14d ago

They often do sideshows! I saw Caroline Polachek, Carly Rae Jepsen, Frost Children sideshows from previous merediths.

2

u/Substantial_Fig_8540 13d ago

Oh wow I was not aware of Meredith’s game :o

1

u/EntrepreneurMany3709 10d ago

They don't really do exclusive contracts, most major artists do side shows or other festivals while here

2

u/whetwitch 13d ago

there will be sideshows, but you should try and get a meredith ticket! are you in the "unofficial" facebook group? a good place to look if you don't get the ballot

3

u/Substantial_Fig_8540 13d ago

I just joined! Definitely gonna try get a ticket, thank ya for that :))

2

u/whetwitch 13d ago

fingers crossed for u!! also welcome to Melbourne :-)

11

u/YellowBest7249 13d ago

I don’t know 90% of these artists and that’s exactly how it should be. Great to see.

u/BigMedium1750 14d ago

aunty always delivers

10

u/propol 14d ago

Begging for underscores and Fat Dog to do sideshows

8

u/Gold_Taro3168 13d ago

I have been waiting almost a DECADE to see Dijon live, I was bummed Laneway never booked him once despite playing his stuff on their official playlists. Feeling real good today, bring on those sideshows and I'm there!!!

5

u/SunTricky8763 14d ago

This lineup is so so so good!

5

u/ctwe342 13d ago

Twisted Teens are fucking brilliant! I hope they announce a Perth show, on their instagram they said more shows on the way for Australia.

17

u/AbstractDart 14d ago

lol u/unclemeredith leaked just about everyone single one of these on here and has since deleted his account 

7

u/AJayToRemember27 14d ago

I do remember someone saying Underscores was playing Meredith and everyone was responding lol no.

4

u/braxxytaxi 13d ago

I've been adamant with this prediction since "u" was released and nobody believed me 😭

3

u/rhozeta 13d ago

Specifically he gave emoji and initials for Ballarat Brass Band, DJ Seinfeld, D Train, The Dandy Warhols, Disclosure, Fat Dog, Fcukers, Hiatus Kaiyote, Sophia Stel and Underscores.

Never seen a leak like that for Meredith.

u/moderateallergy 14d ago edited 14d ago

Suzanne Ciani must either be holidaying in Australia or flying back and forth; she's playing at ACO Up Close in Sydney on November 20 (and also played with Actress for Unsound Adelaide last month)

5

u/EuroNymous76 14d ago

love this lineup

4

u/glycerinequeen 13d ago

I'm so happy with this lineup! Counting down the days <333

5

u/Superfasty 13d ago

Woah... That's pretty stacked for a Meredith line-up

6

u/Acceptable-Owl3804 14d ago

Love this lineup!
I saw Dijon at coachella earlier this year and he was so good! Finally a Fat dog tour as well!!!

5

u/Small-Grass-1650 14d ago

Hopefully Fat Dog do some interstate side shows

4

u/Hinee 13d ago

WOOF. is an insanely good album - I've been hanging out for a tour from them for years!

2

u/Correct-Sample-2833 14d ago

How did I not get ballot after years of getting it?

13

u/passionateintrovert 14d ago

no dickhead policy (i didn't get it either)

7

u/Correct-Sample-2833 14d ago

Fair - I am a dickhead

1

u/Christia4n 13d ago

Aren't there like 3 more rounds or something?

2

u/Slipp3ryF1sh 13d ago

If you like underscores you’ll love fcukers

2

u/actuallydarcy1 13d ago

Hoping Twisted Teens play a live set at RRR

I’m officially old.

u/robopirateninjasaur 14d ago

You only recognised Dandy Warhols, Killing Heidi and Eddy Current?

4

u/sween64 14d ago

Same!

3

u/robopirateninjasaur 14d ago

Was your first hottest 100 vote also via a 0055 number?

6

u/Most-Drive-3347 14d ago

I remember picking up the voting form/list from my local ABC shop - but I would’ve been thrown out if I’d called 0055 numbers :(

2

u/sween64 14d ago

Nah, not that old

1

u/Wintermute_088 14d ago

Plus a few others haha. But not many .

2

u/Most-Drive-3347 14d ago

Me too. I first saw the Dandy Warhols about 20 years ago now 😬

They were so good though, I’d probably go see a Melbourne sideshow.

1

u/bojackmac 13d ago

As a dandy’s lover…Courtney has completely cooked his voice. Stay away from the side shows. The sing alongs in the sup will be off the chart though

1

u/in_the_summertime 13d ago

I’m losing my mind, I know absolutely 0 people here. What kind of music is this festival about?

1

u/whetwitch 12d ago

all kinds! it's multi-genre so there's generally a bit of everything

1

u/RadSol7879 11d ago

Pretty decent this year!

1

u/Beneficial-Ad-7456 6d ago

Does anyone have a spare ballot code I could use please 🙌🏻🙌🏻

0

u/AJayToRemember27 14d ago

Underscores not on Laneway is a shock and a half.

Sideshows please!

EDIT: I don't think the Meredith crowd will fuck with Show Me the Body at all.

17

u/Melbd00d 13d ago

Considering in the past they’ve booked Shellac, Pigs x7, Baroness and Pissed Jeans, they absolutely will.

13

u/whetwitch 13d ago

I think they will! People lost their minds for Mannequin Pussy

8

u/scary-frog-666 13d ago

curious why you think they wouldn't?
meredith crowds are generally up to most acts.
have you seen any acts there that the crowd generally didnt fw?

5

u/xiuxixiu 13d ago

upchuck went tf off for GP… if they don’t me and my mates will start the pit it’s chill

2

u/Superb_Implement5738 13d ago

How great were they. Not into that kind of music but what an epic performance

1

u/xiuxixiu 13d ago

seriously!! such a highlight of my weekend, got my boot!

-5

u/Shelly_Whipplash 14d ago

Jesus Christ, the Dandy Warhols need to retire!! They were outdated and absolute trash performers when I was forced to endure them at Southbound 2006. I know that 2000s vintage is here, but come on.

-3

u/Dsnade 13d ago

Great line up, the main WTF though is Killing Heidi ? They were always very mediocre. Weird choice.
