Laneway Festival have announced that Atlanta’s visionary and enigmatic rapper Young Thug will join the line-up exclusively (no sideshows) in Australia and New Zealand.

Young Thug is one of the most prolific recording artists of the moment, bolstered by a seriously impressive back catalogue of music. Thug’s consistent output over the past 6 years includes various mix tapes, a trilogy called Slime Season, and the critically acclaimed Barter 6.

These shows will be Young Thug’s first ever shows in the region and we can’t wait to have him play Laneway 2017.
