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.' Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning 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.
