Pop superstar Chappell Roan to headline Laneway in Auckland

Chappell Roan will headline Laneway Festival in Auckland, adding one of the biggest names in current pop to the summer touring calendar.

The American singer's rise has been rapid, driven by a run of hits and a live show known for its theatrical staging and costume work.

Laneway has built its reputation on catching artists on the way up, and organisers said the booking fits that pattern.

Ticket and line-up details were released alongside the announcement.
