Still standing? Prove it.

The glitter hasn’t settled and the heels are barely holding — which means it’s time for Laneway, the infamous street party that shuts it down and keeps it going.

On Sunday 1 March, The Beresford and Hill Street transform into one glorious, glitter-slicked playground – a cocktail of house, disco, and pure chaos powered by thousands of joyous, sleep-deprived legends. Born from a few milk crates on Hill Street, Laneway has grown into the unmissable after-after-party – the final, fabulous roar of Mardi Gras.Secure your spot (they go fast!) or take it up a level with VIP for early access to Beresford Upstairs, faster entry, and fewer queues for your final round.

It’s the big finish! Loud, proud, and outrageously alive. The only rule? Don’t say goodbye ‘til Monday.

Line up announced for 2026:

International pop icon and Gemini, Nadine Coyle (yes, Girls Aloud’s very own!), is here to make you go to work on the dance floor and _jump _for joy under the stars, performing her own hits alongside Girls Aloud’s greatest anthems.

Euro house legend, DJ Paul Heron (UK) returns to Mardi Gras to headline the Laneway main stage, having ignited dance floors across Europe at the likes of Brut, LA DEMENCE and Matinee and producing tracks for Empire of the Sun and The Scissor Sisters, to name drop a few.

Oxford Street icons Amanda Louise, Alex Dugan and Brad James return to command the decks and get us pumping, while Sydney stars TOMGRAAAM, CHRS, Dingo Disco and Camp Minister will bring the beats for their Laneway debut.

And flying in from Melbourne, the Gold Coast and Brisbane comes DJ Donna (QLD), Jason Conti (VIC), Miss Katalyna (VIC) and Ney Like A Horse (QLD) to serve us interstate excellence.

And, of course, there’ll be a few more surprises along the way…
