No.  The Festival is licensed to sell alcohol and provides great, well-stocked bars.  Please don’t attempt to bring any banned items into the Festival as all bags are searched on arrival and items will be confiscated and will not be returned.

Sorry guys shoe wear is necessary - thongs and sandals are fine but you may want to consider your toes and enclosed footwear as it is a long day.

Yes, the Festival is strictly an over 18's event.  Anyone who fails to present valid photo ID (current driver’s license or passport) upon entry to the Festival will not be allowed into the Festival.  No refunds will be processed for patrons who are denied entry due to not having valid identification for admittance.

St Jerome's Laneway Festival is a fully licensed event so, like many fully licensed venues, we are unable to accommodate people under the age of 18.  We apologise to those of you under 18 who miss out as a result of this but we look forward to seeing you in a few years.
