Laneway Festival, no longer the little festival that could but one of the agenda setters for each year's music, has announced a typically adventurous and eclectic lineup for its 2017 edition.

The St Jerome's Laneway Festival, to give it its full name, will bring out indie rock legend Kathleen Hanna's The Julie Ruin alongside neuroscientist and electronic musician Sam Shepherd, under his Floating Points moniker, local hip hop/jazz outfit Koi Child next to energetic pop rock favourites Car Seat Headrest and the newly renamed Nick Murphy (back to his birth name now after breaking through as electronic soul man Chet Faker) on the same bill as experimental pop band-of-the-moment Glass Animals.

The artist formerly known as Chet Faker, now back to being called Nick Murphy, will be one of the headliners at Laneway Festival in 2017

Also announced are fierce hip hop duo A.B. Original on the same bill as Melbourne's teenage rapper, Baro, multiple versions of guitar-meets-dancefloor in Jagwar Ma and Bob Moses, new age garage punks Camp Cope and Luca Brasi cheek-by-jowl with straight-edged rock band Gang Of Youths and local talents Jess Kent, Julia Jacklin and Sampa The Great breaking through with the likes of Brits Nao and Tourist, North Americans Tycho, Whitney and White Lung.

The first Australian Laneway Festival is in Brisbane, January 26, then Melbourne on January 28, Auckland on January 30, Adelaide on February 3, Sydney on February 4 and Fremantle on February 5.

Tickets on sale from September 21.
