Get hype.
The sun-drenched stages of Laneway 2026 are calling, and headliner Chappell Roan is already weaving her magic.
Fresh from a year of profound personal transformation, the pop visionary has teased a crucial piece of her festival setlist: the beloved fan anthem ‘Casual.’
The track, a 2022 indie release that blossomed on her debut album, promises to be a cornerstone moment in what Roan hints will be a celebratory rebirth.
Her journey to the Pacific follows a season of quiet retreat, a conscious uncoupling from the digital noise after facing wildfires, relocation, and creative fatigue.

Now, with a soul refreshed by books and film, she’s poised to turn Laneway’s 21st-anniversary party into a collective catharsis.
She leads a stellar constellation of talent across a refreshed festival route, ready to transform the energy of 200,000-plus past revellers into a brand new chapter.
