Laneway Festival have announced that Sigur Ros and The National will headline the inaugural Detroit leg of their touring festival.
The festival takes place on September 14 at Meadow Brook Music Festival in Detroit Michigan, and marks the first time an Australian festival has expanded into the American market. Laneway Detroit is a co-production with Detroit-based Palace Sports & Entertainment and the Paradigm Agency, and is to be presented by indie culture publication The Fader.
Laneway co-founder Danny Rogers was drawn to the city for its rich musical heritage and its continuing evolution: “Detroit is having its rebirth and as Laneway continues to evolve, we can identify with a city that continuing to evolve as well,” Rogers said. “It seemed like a great fit and this lineup seals it.”
