Upcoming Laneway Festival 2026 Side Shows Revealed Featuring Benee and Geese

The Laneway Festival has quickly sold out in Sydney and Melbourne, but the good news is that the celebration doesn’t end at the festival gates. Handsome Tours, Laneway Presents, Astral People, and triple j have come together to offer a fantastic lineup of Laneway 2026 sideshows featuring artists like BENEE, Cavetown, Geese, Wisp, Gigi Perez, Jensen McRae, Malcolm Todd, Mt. Joy, Oklou, and Wisp. These shows will give fans the opportunity to see some of the brightest stars up close and personal this February.

BENEE, after a six-year hiatus from Laneway, is making a comeback with three exclusive headline shows. Armed with her upcoming sophomore album “Ur An Angel I’m Just Particles,” BENEE is prepared to showcase her sharp storytelling and elastic alt-pop on intimate stages. Her setlist will include fresh tracks like “Off The Rails” and “Cinnamon,” along with fan favorites such as “Supalonely” and “Soaked” at venues like Liberty Hall in Sydney and 170 Russell in Melbourne.

Cavetown, also known as Robin Skinner, is back with his most introspective album yet, “Running With Scissors.” Fans can expect tender crowd sing-alongs, stories of growing up, and the lyrical warmth that has made him a voice for his generation. Catch his performances at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney and the Palais Theatre in Melbourne.

Brooklyn’s Geese will be bringing their experimental chaos to Australian shores for the first time. Their album “Getting Killed” takes garage rock into wild, uncharted territory, offering a night of cathartic noise and pure unpredictability at venues like the Metro Theatre in Sydney, the Croxton Bandroom in Melbourne, and Freo.Social in Perth.

Gigi Perez, the hitmaker behind “Sometimes (Backwood),” will make her Australian debut after the massive success of her album “At The Beach, In Every Life.” With billions of streams and an emotional live presence, Gigi Perez is ready to bring her fire to Aussie stages at places like the Enmore Theatre in Sydney and the Forum in Melbourne.

Other artists like Jensen McRae, Malcolm Todd, Mt. Joy, Oklou, and Wisp will also be gracing Australian stages for the first time, offering a diverse range of musical styles, emotions, and experiences. From indie rock anthems to ambient soundscapes, these sideshows promise to be a memorable and exciting addition to the Laneway Festival experience.

Tickets for these shows will be available for presale on October 9 and general sale on October 10. Visit handsometours.com for more information and get ready to witness some of the most talented and innovative artists in the music industry up close and personal this February.
