Laneway presents Side of Stage. Hosted by the Laneway Festival’s Danny Rogers (founder) and Dom O’Connor, the series will feature wide-ranging conversations with some of the people who inspire us most. Danny says:

“The idea is to have informal conversations with fascinating self-starters in music: artists, managers, designers, promoters and other people with great vision. We’ll get to the crux of how they got started and focus on that one moment that changed everything…”

The first ep features our pals Nathan McLay and Chad Gillard from Future Classic. Check it out here.
