All patrons must present valid photo ID in order to enter Laneway Festival Sydney.

Laneway Festival in Sydney in 2024 is a licensed 16+ event.

So that we can provide a secure and safe environment for everyone, we are implementing our Youth Policy for 2024, which will form part of our Conditions of Entry and compliance for Liquor Licensing.

The minimum age requirement to attend Laneway Festival in Sydney for 2024 will be 16 years of age (that is, 16 years as at the date of the event: Sunday, 4 February 2024).
All patrons under the age of 18-years old MUST be accompanied and supervised, at all times, by a responsible adult.

A responsible adult is defined as a person who is 18 years or older and is:
•        The minor’s parent, step-parent, guardian, grandparent, or
•        The minor’s spouse who is over the age of 18 years, or
•        A person who is acting in place of a parent and who could reasonably be expected to exercise responsible supervision of the minor - for example, a sporting coach.

A youth ticket must be purchased with an 18+ ticket, at a ratio of 1:1, that is, a responsible adult may supervise a maximum of ONE minor at the festival.

If a minor is found to be unaccompanied or unsupervised at any point, both the minor and their respective responsible adult will have their tickets cancelled and will be escorted from the festival site.

All responsible adults MUST also hold a valid ticket to Laneway Sydney 2024.
