Today, after weeks of speculation, Australia’s biggest single-day music festival Spilt Milk unveils its 2026 dates and lineup. And the wait was Worth It. With international superstars Lewis Capaldi and RAYE headlining two huge weekends in December, playing exclusively for Spilt Milk.
After last year’s sell-out run, Spilt Milk 2026 kicks off where it all began – in its spiritual home of Canberra/Ngunnawal on Saturday 12 December at Exhibition Park, then heading to the Sunshine State on Sunday 13 December in Gold Coast/Kombumerri at Gold Coast Sports Precinct. Weekend two welcomes a new Victorian home in Geelong/Wadawurrung on Saturday 19 December at Kardinia Park Precinct, before wrapping in Perth/Whadjuk on Sunday 20 December at Claremont Showground.
Scottish chart-dominator Lewis Capaldi leads the Spilt Milk bill – his first Australian festival run since that iconic 2025 Glastonbury performance. His phenomenal return to live touring saw more than a million tickets sold worldwide and a record-shattering, sold-out multi-arena tour across Australian capital cities in December 2025. He lands with sixth UK #1 “Survive” behind him, the latest from the voice behind culture-defining ballad “Someone You Loved”, the UK’s most-streamed song of all time.
South London’s four-time GRAMMY-nominated sensation RAYE shares top billing, bringing her sophomore album THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE. in tow. Led by UK #1 smash hit “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!” and its 800 million streams, RAYE’s catalogue moves between jazz-inflected pop and rave cuts – a range that has carried her from 20 Top 40 UK singles to 10 billion cumulative streams and a 2024 BRIT Awards sweep, taking home the most ever titles in a single year, including Album of the Year.
Galway’s KETTAMA rewrites the rules of electronic music – crushing bass, relentless drums and euphoric release, a blueprint that has taken him from laptop producer to international cult figure. Following his 2025 album Archangel and recent Underworld and Dom Dolla collabs, catch him at peak power. Baby Keem touches down hot off the release of Ca$ino, his long-awaited second album featuring Kendrick Lamar, Too $hort and Denzel Curry. Expect a set stacked with cuts from a record that’s powered him through a sold-out 36-date North American run and into Governors Ball and Summer Smash.
Rising UK songwriter Maisie Peters will blend chart-topping hooks with confessional vulnerability in her four exclusive Spilt Milk appearances. Her ARIA and UK #1 charting album Florescence finds her stripped back and introspective, a storytelling masterclass that features Julia Michaels and Marcus Mumford. Renowned for her electric stage presence and boundary-pushing pop sound, Remi Wolf brings a set stacked with fan-favourite anthems like the Gold-certified “Photo ID” and chart-climbing hits “Cinderella” and “Toro”. Sydney trio DMA’S return with their self-titled fifth album in August, backing up 500+ million streams, multi-Platinum singles and triumphant festival slots from Glastonbury to Coachella. Now they return to Spilt Milk for the first time since performing at its very first edition in 2016.
SA’s Aleksiah will bring her catchy, tongue-in-cheek indie-pop and main-character swagger; Kamilaroi/Samoan artist Becca Hatch fuses R&B and a club-ready sound. New Zealand’s Borderlinedeliver infectious, hook-heavy indie rock and arrive off a sold-out 14-date North American tour. Dublin’s F3miii moves between alternative R&B and electronic, and will have the crowd singing along to viral Billboard Hot 100 single “NOBLE” (with the re-release version featuring The Kid LAROI); Kurdish-Kiwi synthclub-hip-hop artist Fat Papi went from freestyling with friends over Skype to a global moment, in less than 7 weeks, his track “FREAKED OUT” has amassed 35M streams and he currently holds the top spots across the Shazam charts: #3 Global, #3 Viral, #1 and #5 Hip-Hop, and #1 Australia. The meteoric rise of Sydney producer Harry Hayes, whose genre-blurring electronic sound has earned major praise from Caribou and Fred again, now lands him on the Spilt Milk stage. Brooklyn’s jigitz sends dancefloors into overdrive with “tell you straight”, the 71-million-stream hit, channelling frantic UK garage. Persian-American artist Leyla Ebrahimi lays out intimate, devastating alt-pop confessionals from her debut EP Planet You Forgot Me; and it’s not a party without the fierce Miss Kaninna – Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung, Kalkadoon and Yirendali sovereign woman, and “blak Britney Spears”.
Adelaide four-piece Pash have skyrocketed with their nostalgic 90s/00s indie-pop; American rapper and singer/songwriter Samara Cyn is a must-see for fans of Tyler, The Creator and Spilt Milk alum Doechii. Melbourne-born and London-based producer STÜM ups the club energy as one of the most exciting names in global electronic music right now; Central Coast favourites The Moving Stills whip up breezy, surf-infused indie-pop hits. Aussie fan-favourites The Terrys join the bill hot off their laid-back collab “All Gucci”; Lebanese-Australian producer Tobiahs bridges early-2000s UK garage and future-bass bounce with Platinum single “Lifetime”; and Sydney’s Yes Boone closes out the class of 2026 with his dance music mastery. Still to be announced, local triple j Unearthed winners will open each show, while an American Apparel StAArt Up Fund winner is set to perform on the Gold Coast.
The festival’s art exhibitions are curated in collaboration with socially conscious art studios, featuring artists from their long-standing partnership with Victoria Park Centre for the Arts’ Create Connect Art initiative, which holds structured workshops that allow artists with disabilities to explore different visual art mediums and projects.
