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.
