The recent release of her debut ep DONTSMILEATME sees her star continue to ascend. At 16 years old, Bille will be the youngest member of the Laneway touring party since Lorde’s unforgettable run in 2014.

UK/Icelandic three-piece DREAM WIFE are heading to Australia for the very first time. Oozing girl power, their music juxtaposes simple pop hooks, cutting riffs and screamy-dreamy vocals, nodding to the Strokes and Blondie, but in a far grittier and contemporary way. The band released their debut EP last year, EP1.

SHAME is one of London’s best new bands. Formed by five 19-year-old school friends, the band first broke out from their local DIY scene via word-of-mouth and have been hailed for their show-stopping live presence. Shame’s debut single THE LICK comes with a rumbling, frenetic bassline and razor-sharp wit.
