Lewis Capaldi and RAYE to Headline Australia’s 2026 Spilt Milk Fest

Spilt Milk is back, and its bill is frothing.

Announced Friday, July 24, Lewis Capaldi and RAYE are booked to headline the 2026 edition, which will visit Canberra, Gold Coast, Geelong and Perth this December, the start of the southern summer.

The British superstars lead a lineup that includes KETTAMA, Baby Keem, Maisie Peters, DMA’S and more.

A week earlier, organizers confirmed that Spilt Milk would return in 2026, though the dates, locations and lineup were kept under lock and key.

Presented and curated by Kicks Entertainment, Spilt Milk is said to be Australia’s biggest single-day music festival. General admission tickets are priced at A$244.95 ($171) including fees, through Moshtix. Festival goers can sign up to presale for early access to tickets on July 30 at spilt-milk.com.au.

Beginning life in the national capital, Canberra, in 2016, Spilt Milk expanded in 2019 to the Gold Coast and Ballarat, the latter venue marking Juice WRLD’s final live performance. The pandemic wiped out the 2020 and 2021 editions of Spilt Milk, and promoters canceled the multi-city show in 2024, joining a slew of festival cancelations as rising costs and changing ticket buying behavior spooked the industry.

Last year’s run 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 showtime. Tickets sold out.

Geelong/Djilang, a satellite city of Melbourne, is the festival’s new Victorian home for at least five years, through support from Visit Victoria and City of Greater Geelong, which ensures the brand will stay in the region until 2030, organizers say.
