Next year's Laneway Festival line-up is dominated by the ladies and international visitors.

Announced this morning, Grammy Award-winnng songstress Feist will be joined by folk star Laura Marling, big-haired rockers The Horrors and Neil and Sharon Finn's Pajama Club at the Auckland festival.

Also announced are boy-girl duo Cults, electro-darlings M83 and Opossom - a band made up of ex-Mint Chicks Kody Nielson plus Bic Runga and Michael Logie.



The one-day festival is described as focusing on leading new and revered seminal music, presented in an urban environment.



"It's all about new music and discovering new music," co-festival organiser Ben Howe said of today's announcement.



Laneway Festival will be held at Silo Park in the new Wynyard Quarter precinct on January 30 next year - Auckland Anniversary Day.



When it was held in Aotea Square this year, Auckland Council received noise control complaints from inner-city apartment residents.



In 2010, the first year it was held in New Zealand, the indie music festival was held in Britomart Square, but it was overshadowed by complaints of long queues and a lack of facilities for ticket holders.



The festival began in the lanes of Melbourne city in 2004 and has featured bands including Echo and the Bunnymen, Florence and the Machine, Ladyhawke and The xx.



Tickets go on sale 19 October.
