Saturday 30 January 

Enter the festival at the Crn or Moreland and Bunbury Streets - there is only one way in and you must approach from Bunbury st as Moreland street will be closed for the event.

Your ticket to the festival includes free public transport to and from the event so we urge you to use it! Metlink have even worked out the best ways for you to get here and home and posted them up on their site so go to www.metlinkmelbourne.com.au to plan your trip.

There is no parking at the festival site. A temporary TAXI rank will be in operation at the Footscray Train Station in case you fancy a lift home after the event.

Upon arrival at the Footscray Train Station, walk straight down Bunbury St to the festival entry - it's a short walk down lovely leafy streets and festival staff and security will be there along the way to help you. 

There will be a mobile ATM located in the park next to the Car Park Stage, between the markets and the food vendors.

There will be free sunscreen available from the Info tent, First Aid and the TAC Vaness van next to the markets. Remember to be sunsafe and wear a hat (you can buy one at the merch tent if you don't have one).

A food court will be located in the park next to the Car Park Stage which will satisfy your dietary needs.

Free water will be located at each bar and bottled water will be for sale at a very reasonable price, again stay hydrated and drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Please keep the site looking beautiful and respect the land we've borrowed, put rubbish in the bins, cans in the recycling cages and cigarette butts into bins too.

Markets - come and find a hidden treasure at this year's 3000 markets.

There is a cloak room on site - next to the info tent on Moreland st. You can leave your bags, excess clothes or markets/merch purchases for a reasonable fee but don't forget to pick them up at the end of the day!!

There will be a bag search on entry. No booze, glass, bottles of any kind, pets, illegal stuff or proffessional camera gear. Anything confiscated will not be returned.

Finally don't forget your Photo I.D (18 plus card, driver's licence or passport). Laneway is an over 18 event and you must be able to prove your age when entering the site.

Introduction to the new site!

2010 sees the Laneway Festival move to the fabulous surrounds of Footscray Community Arts Centre (FCAC), an oasis in the heart of the (greater) city. Just two train stops from the CBD, the new site is the perfect spot to check out your favourite bands.

Our friends at Footscray Arts have shared their access to the Maribyrong riverfront, amphitheatre, park and killer views overlooking the city so we can deliver an event with more space and atmosphere than ever. Punters will have access to three very different stages, enough amenities to cater for those wanting to wander between the stages or stay in front of their favourite all day, plus local arts showcases and cuisine.

A fresh cultural hotspot (FCAC is a mecca for original contemporary community-based art), Footscray is an area of Melbourne that's fast becoming renowned for its grass-roots arts community. It's perfectly inline with Laneway's continuing support of the unique and undiscovered, and we're extremely excited to be hosting the Festival there.
