Laneway Festival shifts to all-weather Sydney Showground site in 2023

With inclement weather often of concern to festival organisers, Laneway Festival organisers have opted to shift the music festval location in 2023 to the all-weather Sydney Showground site.

With a strong line-up of Spring and Summer festivals ahead, Sydney Showground General Manager Darryl Jeffrey says the multi-purpose venue is thrilled to partner with the iconic festival.

Jeffrey notes “as a venue, we’ve always prided ourselves on the versatility and quality of our event spaces. So, as inclement weather plays on the minds of festival organisers, an adaptable venue, like Sydney Showground is perfect.

“Not only do we offer an expansive outdoor space with undercover options to easily shift stage locations, for stadium festivals, a sand and polypropylene layer underneath the turf provides excellent drainage which means less turf damage and cost for organisers, and it is all within proximity to public transport.”

Sydney Showground will bring plenty of experience into Laneway 2023 with Knockout Outdoor – Enter the Arena, RNB Fridays Presents Fridayz Live, Flume – Palaces World Tour and Festival X all set to run before the end of the year.

Laneway will take place at Sydney Showground on Sunday, 5th February, with general admission to the 2023 Laneway Festival on sale now.

“The team look forward to working closely with organisers to deliver an incredible 2023 Laneway experience and to make the transition to Sydney Olympic Park as smooth as possible,” Jeffrey added.
