The organizers behind the St. Jerome Laneway Festival announced at SXSW that they would be bringing their festival to US shores on September 14, 2013. The traveling tour which hits up most of the major cities in Australia, as well as Singapore, will land in Rochester Hills (near Detroit), Michigan, at the Meadow Brook Music Festival venue.
From Danny Rogers, one of the founders: “We’re incredibly excited. Detroit – with its unbelievably dynamic musical past and present – is the perfect location for our first foray into North America.”
This is the first time an Australian festival has made an appearance in the United States. This year’s lineup around Australia included Alt-J, Japandroids, Of Monsters and Men, Yeasayer, and Polica.
