Summer’s most anticipated festival is back – and Spilt Milk 2025 is rewriting the rules on what a headline can mean. A lineup this stacked doesn’t come around often. But then again, Spilt Milk has never done things by halves.
The lineup
At the top of the bill is Kendrick Lamar – Pulitzer Prize winner, GRAMMY magnet, and West Coast legend – making his long-awaited return to Australian stages following his sold-out Grand National Tour with SZA. Joining him is Billboard Woman of the Year and swamp-pop trailblazer Doechii, arriving in Australia for the first time off the back of her 2024 Best Rap Album GRAMMY win.
Also gracing the stage: actor-musician Dominic Fike with his alt-pop catalogue and Euphoria charisma, techno priestess Sara Landry, riding the high of her debut album Spiritual Driveby, and a very special appearance from lyrical heavyweight ScHoolboy Q.
The discovery continues with d4vd’s viral indie-pop, Nessa Barrett’s storming sophomore album AFTERCARE, hyperpop pioneer Ninajirachi, techno talent Skin On Skin, and cult indie breakout sombr. They’ll be joined by soul crooner Don West, Eora’s genre-bending Ennaria, producer Club Angel, and rising voices like Lyric, Esha Tewari and Mia Wray.
There’s something for every sonic persuasion—alt-rock from Rum Jungle, indie-pop from The Rions and The Dreggs, and luminous stylings from Gold Coast-based Sofia Isella.

Spilt Milk has always known how to build a world. Between stages you’ll find large-scale art installations, boutique bars, and nostalgic corners like Guilty Pleasures (think singalongs and scream therapy), Howdy Howdy (your inner cowboy’s playground), and Bus Da Move, the dance party on wheels.
Art takes centre stage once more, with 2025 exhibitions featuring artists from Studio A and Victoria Park Arts’ Create Connect initiative. Dutch artist and designer Jerry-Lee Bosmans lends his signature kaleidoscopic vision to this year’s festival aesthetic.
