The 26-year-old singer will headline the Laneway Festival in early 2026, the event announced Wednesday.

It marks her debut on the iconic traveling stage that's built a reputation for booking artists right before they explode into superstardom. (Just ask Billie Eilish, who played Laneway in 2018!)

Chappell's southern summer run kicks off February 5 in Auckland before hitting the Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, with the finale set for February 1 at Perth's Arena Joondalup.

Her addition to the lineup is no surprise to fans, as evidenced by her breakout anthem Good Luck, Babe! released last year.

She then continued her hot streak with singles like The Giver and The Subway as her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, achieved sleeper hit status.

Alongside the Casual artist, the festival will feature performances from BENEE, Wolf Alice, Role Model, Wet Leg, and more.

Pre-sale tickets for the event begin September 23, with the general on-sale opening September 24 at 10 AM AEST (September 23 at 8 PM ET).
