The 2026 Laneway Festival drew crowds to the Gold Coast, but faced criticism over poor organization, safety concerns, and accessibility issues despite a strong headliner performance.
The 2026 Laneway Festival debuted on the Gold Coast at Southport Sharks, drawing large crowds with headliner Chappel Roan's energetic performance, though attendees reported significant issues with organization, access, and exits.
Many, including long-time fans, were blocked from the main stage during PinkPantheress’s set due to inconsistent security practices, while a narrow, uneven exit path raised safety concerns, especially for those with mobility needs.
Critics highlighted inadequate accessible facilities, lack of shade, and poor crowd management, with some questioning the venue choice despite the site’s plans to host future events.
Organizers did not issue a statement, but a venue spokesperson said feedback was generally positive.
