Laneway Festival '25

Experiential

Festivals aren’t spaces for overt marketing. They’re about music, connection and discovery. The brand’s role had to be subtle, complementing the experience rather than overwhelming it. For adidas Originals, it was an opportunity to create an authentic festival presence for Gen Z while positioning the Superstar as the must-have sneaker of 2025.

The campaign began with the Laneway Lookbook, curated by music and style-aligned talent. Distributed across social, adiClub member exclusives, in-store zines and digital channels, it turned product into culture-led anticipation.

At the festival, the adidas Clubhouse served as a modern, members-first sanctuary. A shaded space for relaxation, recharging and reconnection. Visitors enjoyed charging stations, Wi-Fi, hydration, touch-ups, DJ energy and seating, while artists, surprise moments and giveaways delivered cultural heat, live content and unexpected rewards across the grounds.
