Spilt Milk Festival has dropped a massive headline act that's bussin' with megastar Kendrick Lamar landing in Australia this December.

The 'Humble' and 'All The Stars' hitmaker will be joined by certified superstars Doechii ('What It Is', 'Denial Is A River'), Dominic Fike ('3 Nights', 'Babydoll') and Schoolboy Q ('Collared Greens', 'Man Of The Year').

American techno DJ Sara Landry, R&B-rock singer-songwriter D4vd, dark-pop singer-songwriter Nessa Barrett, hip hop-drill act Skin On Skin and indie rock artist Sombr will also join the party.

Spilt Milk returns to four locations in 2025 – Ballarat, Perth, Canberra and Gold Coast – proving music festivals aren't dead.

The festival has also given flowers to a host of indie internationals and Australians including Baby J, Chance Peña, Club Angel, Don West, Ennaria, Esha Tewari, Lyric, Mia Wray, Ninajirachi, Rebecca Black, Rum Jungle, Sofia Isella, South Summit, The Dreggs, and The Rions.

Levelling up year-on-year, Spilt Milk has built its legacy opening Australia's summer with mind-boggling music line-ups, large-scale art exhibitions, delectable food and boutique bar experiences at the heart of their DNA.

Festival staples include Guilty Pleasures, a place to belt out iconic sing-alongs, the Howdy Howdy country bar that gets (respectfully) rowdy and Bus Da Move, the party bus where the riders conduct the tracks.

The festival's art exhibitions are curated in collaboration with socially conscious art studios. This year they'll be featuring artists from Studio A, an art studio dedicated to empowering artists with disability, and Victoria Park Arts' Create Connect Art initiative, which holds open studio sessions that allow artists with disability to explore different visual art mediums and projects.
