The lineup features well-known music personalities like Kiwi sensation Lorde. Lorde's single "Royals" is at no. 3 at the U.S. Billboard 100 - next to Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry. Lorde is also topping the U.S. iTunes chart to date.

The Laneway Festival 2014 lineup also includes the American all-girl band, Haim. The band is said to be the hottest performer on the Northern Hemisphere festival.

Sydney electro-rock trio Jagwar Ma, Melbourne troubadour Vance Joy and Sydney bands Cloud Control and ARIA-award winners the Jezabels made the lineup for the Laneway 2014 all the more exciting for festival goers.

Underground favourites - Melbourne's Dick Diver, U.S. all-girl indie band Warpaint, Scots Frightened Rabbit, Scottish synth-pop trio Chrvches, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and all-girl post-punk act Savages were also included in the lineup.

"We're exceptionally proud of this year's line­up. As usual, the artists have been chosen on the strength of their music and their ability to deliver an insanely great live show. It's why we couldn't resist bringing a few international acts back and it's why we are so thrilled to introduce you to some of the most exciting new artists this side of the world has seen for the very first time," Laneway's programming and co-founder, Danny Rogers, told The Sydney Morning Herald.
