No outside food or drinks are permitted, but we’ve got you covered on site with a wide variety of food vendors catering to gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and vegetarian diets, with full vendor lists shared closer to the event.

Free drinking water stations are also available across the venue, so bring an empty soft water bottle to stay hydrated (no metal or hard plastic bottles permitted).

For those with severe allergies or medically required diets, you can bring small amounts of personal food without prior approval, provided it is commercially packaged or in clear containers (no glass, metal cutlery, or hard eskies).

Sealed electrolyte powders, tablets, or sachets are also welcome, though outside liquids of any kind (including sports drinks) are strictly prohibited.

Laneway is about great music, shared moments, and looking out for one another. We’re committed to creating an inclusive, welcoming environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and able to enjoy the day.
That means we have a zero-tolerance approach to behaviour that puts others at risk or makes them feel uncomfortable. Bullying, fighting, unwanted physical contact, throwing items, or verbal abuse will not be tolerated.
Our security, medical, and crowd care teams are on site throughout the day, with increased focus in high-energy areas such as mosh pits, to help ensure everyone can enjoy the festival safely.

No professional cameras (cameras with detachable lenses) are permitted without formal media accreditation. Likewise no audio or film recording equipment can be brought into the Festival. Please note, small digital cameras or handycams for personal use are allowed.

You may bring necessary medication into the festival without prior written approval, provided:
- Prescription Medication remains in its original pharmacy packaging with the dispensary label clearly matching your photo ID. Please only bring the amount needed for the duration of the event.
- EpiPens, asthma inhalers, and diabetes management kits are permitted. We recommend entering via the Assistance Entry Lane.
- Cold Storage for medication can be organised with our medical and crowd care teams. Please submit an enquiry via the Sydney Access Request form in November so our team can prepare facilities.
- Over-the-Counter Medication and basic personal medication (e.g. Panadol, Nurofen) is permitted if sealed in original packaging.

You do not need to submit an Access Enquiry Form or seek prior approval to bring in your own medical supplies provided you follow the guidelines above.
All bags and items will still undergo standard security searches at entry lanes.
