Punters rave over 'insane' headliners for Aussie music festival Spilt Milk: 'You deserve the biggest kiss'
Organisers of the biggest single-day festival in the country revealed this week it will make a triumphant comeback this year after a 2024 hiatus left music fans heartbroken.
Going one better on Friday, Spilt Milk took to social media to reveal the formidable lineup which boasts two of the biggest rappers in the world as headliners.
Multiple Grammy winner Kendrick Lamar, fresh from his Super Bowl half-time performance will lead the charge alongside fellow US rapper Doechii, across all four festival dates.
Florida-based Doechii is currently riding high off the back of an Australian number one for her track Anxiety.
The announcement comes as Kendrick's rival Drake, who was also recently Down Under, launched legal action against the Like That hitmaker alleging his Super Bowl performance was defamatory.
The impressive lineup will also include the likes of Sarah Landry, Dominic Fike, ScHoolboy Q, d4vd, Nessa Barrett, Sofia Isella, Skin On Skin, sombr, Rebecca Black, The Rions, South Summit, and many more.
Festival fans took to social media to issue their joy over the impressive lineup.
'Oh you deserve the biggest kiss,' one fan offered, while another chimed in with a similar, 'Screaming crying throwing up omgggg.'
Another gushed: 'Okay boo you really outdid yourself with this one, proud,' while another deemed it the best Aussie festival lineup in recent memory.
'This is THE LARGEST Lineup I have seen for an Australian festival in YEAAARSS,' they exclaimed.
'Ya'll really waited a year to take GOAT status like that huh?'
Others were quick to urge organisers to be careful where they place Kendrick and Doechii on the anticipated bill.
'Don't u dare put Kendrick and doechii on at the same time,' one fan directed, to which organisers replied with an assuring, 'They won't be clashing.'

Making the announcement of the festival's return on Thursday, organisers shared a clip which captured Spilt Milk's highlights from previous years and captioned it with some exciting words.
'Spilt Milk summer confirmed. See you in Ballarat, Perth, Canberra and Gold Coast this December,' they began.
'Lineup droppin' crazy soon, sign up in link in bio to get it to your inbox.'
The festival will kick off in Ballarat on December 6, setting the stage for a series of epic performances.
Perth's Claremont Showground will host the festivities on December 7, followed by Canberra on December 13 and the Gold Coast on December 14.
These dates mark a return to some of the festival's favourite destinations, promising to bring music lovers together once again.
Speculation about the lineup is rife, with fans eagerly anticipating the reveal in the coming days.
Past festivals have seen a stellar cast of performers, including Post Malone, FISHER, Khalid, Lorde, Flume and Latto ensuring each year delivers top-tier entertainment.

In 2024, the festival took an unexpected break, leaving many wondering about its future.
In July, it was cancelled in a major blow to Australian music lovers.
It was the latest in a series of festivals to be cancelled as the industry endured a tough year.
The organisers broke the sad news on Instagram.
'Sorry pookies, we couldn't get you the Spilt Milk you deserve this year. Sooo imma dip for a bit and come back when I can make all ur dreams come true. i miss u xx SPILT MILK,' the statement said.
Spilt Milk 2023 was headlined by Post Malone and Dom Dolla.
It was unclear why the festival was called off, however others struggled to sell enough tickets.
Splendour in the Grass, Groovin the Moo and Falls Festival were all cancelled last year, as were Sunshine Coast's Caloundra Music Festival, Victoria's Coastal Jam and Adelaide 's Vintage Vibes Festival.
Fans were upset to see Spilt Milk cancelled, but were relieved by early signs suggesting it would be back next year.
'I think I'd rather see you guys take a year off than drop a lineup people would be disappointed with. Hopefully you'll come back with a bang next year,' one said.

Celebrity SAS star reveals the show's ‘greatest ever escape' went unaired and left Ant Middleton fuming
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A CELEBRITY SAS: Who Dares Wins star has revealed the show's "greatest ever escape" which went unaired and left Ant Middleton fuming. The Channel 4 show is not for the fainthearted and sees 14 famous faces trying to keep up with almost impossible tasks. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Ant Middleton was left fuming after a star performed an 'escape stunt' on Celebrity SAS Credit: Seven 5 Rugby ace Sam Burgess took part in the Aussie version of the show, which sees Ant back in charge Credit: Seven 5 The sportsman said he performed the 'best escape they had ever seen on the show' but how it was never aired Credit: Seven Celebrity SAS sees former Special Forces members put the celebrity contestants through their paces in an intense training camp. Ant, who was axed from the UK's SAS: Who Dares Wins in 2021, was well known for his tough persona on the show. Now a former celebrity contestant has spilled the beans on an unaired scene that infuriated Ant so much he inflicted a harsh punishment on him. Rugby ace Sam Burgess took part in the Australian version of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins two years ago, which Ant joined after he was axed from the UK show. The sportsman revealed that he was told he performed the "best escape they had ever seen on the show", but how it was never aired Spilling the beans, Sam told The Overlap and Betfair's Stick to Cricket show: 'When I did Celebrity SAS, it was a 15-day course. 20 start and only a few finish it. "By day 12, you're sleep deprived, food deprived, freezing. They'd taught us: if you're captured, try to escape - transport is your best chance. 'We get ambushed, hooded, zip-tied, thrown in stress positions. After two hours, we're loaded into a minibus. "I pop my restraints, peek under the hood and I see one driver, one cameraman, one soldier, no guns. I think I can take these guys." Celebrity SAS star axed after 'lying and cheating' on show - as another quits Continuing, he said: 'I waited for my moment, ripped the soldier's comms off, threw his phone out, choked the driver, 'Pull the f***ing van over now.' He's silent, so I start tugging the wheel. "Told another contestant to pull the handbrake and take the keys. We screech to a stop, throw them out, and I drive off with the others. 'We're free - driving around for 40 minutes - I even thought about going to KFC. Eventually I spot a pub, pull in. Fifteen minutes later, we are surrounded by cars." He the said that Ant wan't happy about his actions, and bestowed a harsh punishment on him. 5 Sam spilled the beans on what really happened when he took part in Celeb SAS Credit: PA "Ant Middleton gets on the bus, they absolutely flog us for 12 hours - tied up, thrown in shipping containers," Sam revealed. "Two contestants quit. None of it ever aired, but they told me it was the best escape they'd had.' Ant spent years fighting for his country during his military career in the Marines and the Paras. He was chief instructor on SAS: Who Dares Wins before he was sacked after a series of blunders. One included a tweet about the Black Lives Matter movement. There was a social media backlash in June 2020 after Ant posted a video of violence at anti-racism protests in London. He tweeted: 'The extreme left against the extreme right. "BLM and EDL are not welcome on our streets, absolute scum. 5 Ant is now at the helm of the Aussie Celeb SAS Credit: Seven "What a great example you are to your future generation. Bravo." The same month, Channel 4 set out a "new and clear commitment" to being an anti-racist organisation and said Ant's tweet 'in no way represent the views of Channel 4'. Discussing what happened for him to lose his job, he told The James Smith podcast: 'Witch hunt? I never thought that existed until the latest shenanigans with SAS UK. 'Ultimately people can see through it and know I was pushed before I could jump.' Speaking about the BLM tweet, Ant also defended himself at the time, telling The Sun: 'If you have half a brain cell you will realise what I was talking about. 'It was the protesters fighting and violence and rioting in broad daylight. Everything I fought for abroad to stop happening on our shores.' Meanwhile, the latest series of the UK's Celebrity SAS has been full of drama. In the first episode, two stars quit, before Love Islanders Chloe Burrows and Tasha Ghouri followed suit in the second instalment. While none of the celebrities handed in their armbands in the latest episode there was still a double exit. The Traitors star Harry Clark was given his marching orders by the furious staff. It came after they noticed he was cutting corners and not pulling his weight. His actions seemed to contribute to former footballer's Adebayo 'The Beast' Akinfenwa's decision to quit, after he shouldered much of the weight of the dinghy Harry's team was trying to transport in a race. With his bad knee flaring up, Adebayo ran out of steam due to the pain and was forced to withdraw when he couldn't continue.

Myleene Klass's wildest moments from bombshell cheating allegations to knife showdown at home
There is more to Myleene's life that some fans might not know DIFFERENT KLASS Myleene Klass's wildest moments from bombshell cheating allegations to knife showdown at home MYLEENE Klass burst onto the scene in 2001, as a fresh-faced singer hoping to find fame. More than two decades later the star has remained in the spotlight, and recently hit the headlines over her alleged feud with two fellow noughties stars, plus some bombshell cheating claims. 9 Myleene Klass has been involved in some headline grabbing moments over the years Credit: David Dyson 9 The TV star recently claimed her ex-husband cheated on her Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 9 Myleene, shot to fame in the pop band Hear'Say nearly 25 years ago Credit: Alamy Myleene was in her early twenties when she burst onto the scene on the ITV talent show, Popstars. Alongside stars like Kym Marsh, she was chosen to be in the pop group Hear'Say. After popping out a few hits like Pure and Simple and The Way To Your Love, the band parted ways but Myleene wasn't going anywhere. Since then she has carved out a career as a classical music artist, a radio presenter, and reality star. However, over the years it has not always been smooth sailing for Ms Klass and she has had her fair share of headline grabbing wild moments - which we are here to spill... THAT BIKINI Let's kick off with THAT bikini - we all know the one. Myleene reached a whole new fanbase in 2006 when she headed into the Aussie jungle for I'm A Celebrity. She wasted no time in turning up the heat when she took to the jungle shower and stripped off to a white bikini. It's fair to say viewers went wild for her shower antics, and it has gone down in history as one of I'm A Celeb's most iconic moments. "I wouldn't go as far to say I regret it, I don't think about it too much as to where it's gone," she laughed when speaking to The Sun about her famous white bikini in 2023. Explosive twist in Myleene's feud with Rochelle as it's revealed Saturday's singer gave her ex place to stay after split However, it has since been revealed the white bikini moment that put Myleene on the map almost didn't happen. Speaking in 2020 on social media, she revealed: "I remember one of the show producers looking at my bikinis in the hotel before I went to camp,. "One was covered in stripes, 'We'll have to stop at the shops as that's probably going to strobe on camera'. 9 This white bikini won Myleene a whole new army of fans Credit: Rex Features "I ran into the shop en route to the jungle, asked the shop assistant for the plainest bikini she had." Myleene later auctioned off the bikini for charity where it fetched £7,500. "Best $40 I ever spent… especially as it raised so much for charity afterwards," the singer added. SHOWDOWN WITH KNIFEMAN Back in 2010, Myleene shocked fans when it was revealed she had brandished a knife at youths who had entered the back garden of her home. The star was in the kitchen when she spotted the teenagers and grabbed a knife and banged on the windows in an effort to get them to leave. But after reporting the incident to police, she claimed that officers told her that brandishing an "offensive weapon" was illegal. However, a Hertfordshire Police spokeswoman said that "at no point" were any warnings given. 9 Myleene once brandished a knife at youths who invaded her garden Credit: Rex Speaking to the BBC at the time about what happened, she said: "It was a scary incident but I've got no regrets as to how I reacted. I think I did what any other mother would do. "This is my house and that's my daughter up there and I will do anything to protect my daughter and my family. That's what I did." A statement from Hertfordshire police said: "Officers spoke to reassure the home owner, talked through security and gave advice in relation to the importance of reporting suspicious activity immediately to allow officers to act appropriately." It added: "For clarification, at no point were any official warnings or words of advice given to the home owner in relation to the use of a knife or offensive weapon in their home." 9 Myleene was once allegedly propositioned by shamed Harvey Weinstein HARVEY WEINSTEIN CLAIM In 2017, The Sun revealed how shamed movie mogul Harvey Weinstein allegedly propositioned Myleene with a "sex contract". The disgusted TV presenter, then immediately declined the offer, telling Weinstein to "f*** off" during a film festival lunch at Cannes in 2010. The now convicted sex offender is claimed to have assumed the TV presenter would sleep with him but wanted to silence her with a 'confidentiality agreement'. Instead Myleene fled their lunch meeting at a restaurant in Cannes feeling 'disgusted and angry'. A friend of the star told us she believed she had been there to discuss work. They went on: 'She thought his intentions were genuine. " But as soon as she found out what he really wanted, she told him to f*** off.' 9 Myleene seen here with her ex-husband Graham Quinn Credit: Alamy CHEATING BOMBSHELL Myleene recently dropped the ultimate bombshell when she revealed the moment she "caught her ex husband Graham Quinn cheating on her with another celebrity". She claimed she walked in on her ex and a famous woman in the industry "unzipping" each other's clothes. Myleene said the heartbreaking moment happened in her home at her own birthday party while she and Graham were in a relationship. The singer, who did not name the mystery woman, said that while her life had "broken down in public", the woman he allegedly cheated with was continuing to "build a family brand". Speaking on We Need To Talk podcast, Myleene said: "I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony. "I've made peace with that situation now but for a long time it was very difficult to see their life… not that I would wish that on a family. "I don't know, I feel conflicted. 9 The star recently claimed her ex-husband Graham Quinn cheated on her Credit: X "But my life literally just broke apart very, very publicly. "And their life, they've managed to continue building a family brand on it and it felt so difficult for a long time. This is the person I caught him with." She continued: "It was in my house, it was my party. They weren't having sex but they were unzipping each other. 'It's not what you think,' but it is what I think. It's the first thing they both said. "I kicked everybody out of the party including his mum and dad. "They went back to Ireland. And his dad said, 'He doesn't get it from me.' I was like, OK, I just remember that being quite a weird thing to say." A week after her bombshell infinitely claims, Myleene doubled down and warned: 'I have the receipts.' However, Graham, with whom she shares two daughters, has since clapped back. Last weekend, fiends of the former bodyguard have suggested Myleene is a "vindictive bully." A source told MailOnline: "He thinks she's a bully. "They believe it was especially 'vindictive and calculated' of Myleene to launch the bombshell broadside on what she would have known was the week of Graham's 51st birthday." 9 Myleene is reportedly embroiled in a feud with Frankie Bridge and Rochelle Humes Credit: Getty SHOWBIZ FEUD Over the last week, details of Myleene's feud with fellow ITV stars Rochelle Humes and Frankie Bridge have emerged. It followed hot on the heels of her accusations about her ex-husband - who once counted the two Saturdays stars as his clients. Pals told The Sun that Myleene's claims about Graham, have caused simmering tension between her, Rochelle and Frankie, who all work at ITV. Shortly after the former Hear'Say star dropped the cheating bombshell, Frankie then posted a cryptic video, which said that somebody was 'dead to me'. This Morning star Rochelle then shared a cosy snap with Graham, along with her hubby Marvin Humes — another of his ex-clients. In a further twist, sources claim that Rochelle gave Myleene's ex a place to stay when she dumped him. A source told The Sun: 'Rochelle was doing what she saw as looking out for a friend in a time of need. 'Rochelle and Marvin are still clearly very much friends with Graham. "Myleene is of the view that Rochelle took sides from the beginning of her marriage breakdown. "The fact Rochelle and Graham's friendship is still there after all these years has put an everlasting rift between Myleene and Rochelle. 'They both do everything in their power to avoid each other.' The three women are yet to publicly confirm or deny the feud.

Taylor Swift effect: Chiefs fans are mostly women now, team owner says
Chiefs principal owner Clark Hunt joined the Pat McAfee Show on Friday, Aug. 15, and spoke on the effects that Swift's relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce have had on the team. "It's been a whirlwind for the organization over the last two years since Taylor literally stepped into our lives," Hunt said. "She's done an amazing job, unintentionally, of increasing our female fanbase. We used to be about a 50/50 ratio, male to female fanbase, and now 57% of our fans are female, which I think is probably the highest in the National Football League. "So there's absolutely been a Taylor Swift effect." "We're so happy for Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.. They're an amazing couple and watching the two of them together is really special.. There has absolutely been a Taylor Swift effect to the Chiefs Kingdom" ~ Clark Hunt #PMSLive — Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) August 15, 2025 HOW TRAVIS KELCE MET TAYLOR SWIFT: Friendship bracelets and 'Cupid' The Chiefs' Swiftie era can trace its roots back to the pop superstar's concert at Arrowhead Stadium in July 2023, with two concerts making up one of the earliest stops on her 149-show Eras Tour. Weeks after the tour stop in Kansas City, Kelce lamented on his and his brother's "New Heights" podcast that he wasn't able to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it. Roughly two months later, Swift was spotted on the broadcast cheering on Kelce from a suite at her first Chiefs game. (Hunt said Friday she insisted on getting a "normal fan" experience at that first game with no additional security - "she literally walked through the front door," he said. With fans largely expecting her to attend the Chiefs' home games, she has received heightened security from the team in the time since.) NANCY ARMOUR: Keep whining, insecure men. Taylor Swift isn't even thinking about you. According to analysis by marketing firm Apex Marketing, from September 2023 - when Swift attended that first game - through this past February - the date of the most recent Super Bowl - Swift brought in nearly $1 billion worth of publicity to the NFL. Swift's connection to the Chiefs means that Kansas City has undoubtedly gotten one of the largest pieces of that metaphorical pie - and the demographic shift that Hunt pointed out Friday certainly suggests that. To that end, Kelce's jersey sales spiked 400% overnight after Swift's first appearance at a Chiefs game, according to Fanatics, and Kelce, Swift and the Chiefs have not looked back in the time since that first outing. The singer has attended 23 Chiefs games - including five playoff games and two Super Bowls - since the two began their relationship. On Wednesday, Swift made her first-ever podcast appearance on "New Heights" and spoke about her relationship with Kelce and her experience as a new Chiefs fan. The episode had a record-setting 1.3 million concurrent viewers during its YouTube premiere and now has 15 million views (and counting) on the video streaming site as of Friday afternoon.
