The Spilt Milk music festival has announced its return in 2026 following a successful sold-out 2025 edition across four Australian cities. A promotional video released on social media confirmed the 2026 event, though dates, locations, and lineup remain unannounced. The 2025 edition featured headliner Kendrick Lamar and other major artists, with high demand leading to all shows selling out. The festival, which started in Canberra in 2016, has expanded to multiple cities and paused during the COVID-19 pandemic before resuming in 2022. Organizers skipped 2024 due to market challenges but plan to resume in 2026.
Shared across the festival’s social media channels on Friday , the clip features members of the public being asked to name their favorite Australia n music festival s before cutting to footage of a packed festival crowd and a large-scale stage production.
The video ends with the confirmation that Spilt Milk will return in 2026, though organisers have yet to announce dates, locations or a lineup. Rick Ross Tells Joe Budden Relationship With Drake Wasn't a 'Facade': 'Nothing About That Was Fake'The announcement launches the festival’s 2026 campaign following a successful 2025 edition, which sold out across all four host cities: Ballarat, Perth, Canberra and the Gold Coast.
Last year’s lineup was headlined by Kendrick Lamar and featured Doechii, Dominic Fike, Sara Landry, ScHoolboy Q, sombr, Nessa Barrett, Don West and more. Organizers later expanded the bill with Genesis Owusu, Larissa Lambert and Lotte Gallagher ahead of the December run. Demand for the festival remained high throughout the campaign. Before tickets went on sale, organisers warned that presale registrations had exceeded the number of tickets available, with all four events ultimately selling out.
Launched in Canberra in 2016, Spilt Milk has grown into one of Australia’s largest touring festivals, expanding to Ballarat and the Gold Coast in 2019 before adding Perth in 2023. The 2019 Ballarat event also marked Juice WRLD’s final live performance, taking place one week before the rapper’s death. Like much of Australia’s live music sector, the festival paused during the COVID-19 pandemic before returning in 2022.
Organisers skipped the 2024 edition amid a challenging period for the festival market, which also saw several prominent Australian events either cancelled or placed on hiatus. Previous editions have featured artists including Post Malone, Lorde, Flume, Khalid, Steve Lacy, Latto, Dom Dolla, FISHER and Peach PRC.
