NADINE COYLE TO MAKE HER SOLO AUSTRALIAN DEBUT AT MARDI GRAS LANEWAY

Laneway 2026

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras has unveiled the full line-up for Laneway 2026, the Festival’s iconic closing-night street party, taking over The Beresford and Hill Street on Sunday 1 March 2026.

Nadine Coyle, one of Ireland’s most recognisable pop stars and beloved member of Girls Aloud, makes her solo-performance debut down under, performing live at Laneway. She will bring her signature vocals, solo hits and the anthems that made Girls Aloud global icons, giving audiences a rare chance to see these songs performed under the Sydney night sky.

Nadine Coyle said: “I am absolutely thrilled to be headlining Laneway at Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras 2026 — it’ll be my first solo performance down under, and I can already feel the love. I can’t wait to bring the vibes, dance, and get ECSTATICA with you!”

Joining her is Euro house legend DJ Paul Heron (UK). Heron has lit up dance floors across Europe at Brut, LA DEMENCE and Matinée, and has produced tracks for Empire of the Sun and Scissor Sisters. His high-energy sets will headline Laneway’s main stage.

Sydney favourites Amanda Louise, Alex Dugan and Brad James will return to deliver the unmistakable sound of Oxford Street, while rising local artists TOMGRAAAM, CHRS, Dingo Disco and Camp Minister make their Laneway debut with fresh new energy.

Flying in from across the country are DJ Donna (QLD), Jason Conti (VIC), Miss Katalyna (VIC) and Ney Like A Horse (QLD), bringing interstate excellence and ensuring Laneway remains a national celebration of queer music and nightlife.

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras CEO, Jesse Matheson, said: “Laneway has always been the moment when our community comes together one last time to celebrate everything we have created across the Festival. This year’s line-up brings global names, local legends and new talent into the one space, which is what Mardi Gras has always been about. It is a night that showcases the best of our queer music culture and the joy that drives us forward.”

With VIP tickets sold out and fewer than 800 general tickets remaining, Laneway is set to be one of the hottest events of the 2026 Festival.
