Kendrick Lamar and Doechii to headline Australia's Spilt Milk festival
Kendrick Lamar and Doechii – one of rap's biggest names and arguably its fastest-rising star – are coming to Australia in December, as the headliners at the 2025 music festival Spilt Milk.
The two US acts will headline Spilt Milk at Ballarat, Canberra/Kamberri, the Gold Coast and Perth/Boorloo, alongside US techno DJ Sara Landry.
The festival has a rap-heavy lineup, with singer-songwriter and Euphoria star Dominic Fike and ScHoolboy Q also performing. Australian acts on the lineup include the Rions and South Summit.
The booking of Kendrick Lamar and Doechii marks a strong comeback for the festival, which was cancelled last year ahead of its lin-up announcement. At the time, organisers issued a statement on Instagram: 'Sorry pookies, we couldn't get you the Spilt Milk you deserved this year.'

Spilt Milk was among a wave of beleaguered live musical festivals that cancelled their 2024 events, including Splendour in the Grass, the Falls festival and Harvest Rock – all owned by Live Nation – as well as regional festival Groovin the Moo, which cancelled all six dates because of insufficient ticket sales.
When Live Nation announced in January that Splendour would not go ahead for a second year in a row, it declined to confirm whether its other festivals would go ahead this year.
Spilt Milk's 2025 announcement didn't provide any explanations for the 2024 cancellation, instead highlighting the success of its 2023 festival, headlined by international heavyweights Dom Dolla and Post Malone. Both artists folded their Spilt Milk dates into solo Australian tours, and it remains to be seen whether Kendrick and Doechii – both last here in 2022 – will similarly announce solo dates in capital cities.

Clarkson's Farm's Kaleb Cooper rushed to hospital as star suffers 'painful' injury
Kaleb Cooper, known for being Jeremy Clarkson's farmhand on Diddly Squat Farm, has ended up in A&E this week after suffering a painful injury Kaleb Cooper has revealed he has suffered a 'painful' injury that sent him to A&E as he shared an update for his fans online earlier this week. The Clarkson's Farm star, 26, took to Instagram on Wednesday (June 11) to share that he had to go to the hospital for a scan after hurting his foot while playing a game of football on Tuesday evening. Kaleb shared that he was in significant pain as he posted a video of his swollen ankle while hobbling around his farm, before going to the hospital for an X-ray the following morning, the Mirror reports. He later updated his Instagram story to reassure fans that he still planned to attend the Three Counties Show over the weekend. He said:"I may be hobbling around as I've fractured my ankle, but I'll still be at the 3 Counties Show on the Sunday." "I'll be doing talks throughout the day, and Hawkestone Cider will be there. So, do pop along and say hello. I'll be there - don't you worry! I'm looking forward to it," he continued. The update comes just days after the fourth season of Clarkson's Farm premiered on Prime Video. A fifth season is already in development, though Jeremy Clarkson has hinted that the popular programme may take a break afterwards. Speaking to The Sunday Times, the former Top Gear presenter stated: "Whatever happens we'll definitely take a short break as the crews are all worn out. We've been filming here two or three days a week, every week, for five years. Everybody could do with a rest." Clarkson's farm has been a major success since its debut in 2021, with Kaleb quickly rising to fame as one of the show's stand out figures. His popularity has since led to a UK speaking tour and the release of his own book. While Kaleb was away on his live speaking tour, Jeremy received help from a new farmhand, the glamorous Harriet Cowan. However, Clarkson was quick to shut down claims that Kaleb had been "replaced" on Clarkson's Farm. The 65-year-old presenter continued: "What happened is this, he went away on his speaking tour, for a couple of months because he imagined that after four years, I'd be able to manage on my own." "I didn't – I made a complete mess of everything and had to bring in a young girl called Harriet. Harriet is brilliant and looked after the fort until he got back. That is it – that's the story!," he confirmed. Since moving to Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds, Jeremy has kept fans gripped with the ups and downs he's faced trying to run a farm for profit - which is all documented in his hit series. He's supported by Kaleb, who often proves to be far more knowledgeable about farming than his car-obsessed boss.

Nick Kyrgios doesn't look like this anymore! Tennis champion shocks with dramatic new look following split from Costeen Hatzi
Nick Kyrgios has stunned fans with a dramatic new look as he recently rang in a milestone occasion. The tennis champion, who turned 30 in April, took to Instagram this week to debut his jaw-dropping new appearance – and followers could barely believe their eyes. Gone are the signature dark curls he's long been known for, replaced by a completely shaved head that left the star athlete looking almost unrecognisable. In a short clip, the Aussie star confidently showed off the buzzcut from multiple angles, locking eyes with the camera as he embraced the change. Kyrgios revealed the drastic transformation was in honour of a milestone birthday, telling fans: '30 is unreal. Not even in my prime yet. And shaved head is UNREAL.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Kyrgios appears to be embracing change after he confirmed his split from Costeen Hatzi last month. Following their split, Kyrgios' ex-girlfriend Hatzi, 26, delivered a parting message to her tennis star ex. Rumours of the breakup had been circulating for months, with Kyrgios appearing to unfollow the social media star on Instagram. The tennis star sparked rumours they had secretly split after he removed her initials from his Instagram bio. Meanwhile, Hatzi shared multiple cryptic posts, uploading a TikTok in which she appeared to mouth the words: 'Who the f*** did I marry? So at this point in time, I have filed for divorce'. She then confirmed the pair ended things on good terms, wishing the best for her ex-partner. 'I'm loving my work and doing content every day,' she told The Herald Sun. 'We haven't spoken, relationships come to an end. I believe it's for the best. 'I hope he finds peace and happiness within himself. 'I definitely entered the relationship with pure intentions. I loved him, thought we had a great connection.' The pair began dating back in 2021. They appeared head over heels for each other following their first meeting - which took place after he messaged Hatzi on social media about a mirror she was selling. He went to her home to pick up the mirror but as she previously said: 'It was love at first sight.' The pair became official in January, 2022 and moved in together, with Hatzi regularly seen following her beau around the world as he competed on the ATP Tour. After four years together, The Herald Sun revealed they split after a tournament in March, with Hatzi joking: 'Maybe I'll steer away from athletes.'
