Iconic Australian music festival set to return in 2025 after last year's shock cancellation
Australia's biggest single-day festival, Spilt Milk, is set to make a triumphant comeback in 2025 after a hiatus last year left music fans heartbroken. The exciting announcement was made on social media on Thursday, revealing dates and locations that promise an electrifying lineup and unforgettable experiences. Festival 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. Australia's biggest single-day touring festival, Spilt Milk, is set to make a triumphant comeback in 2025, after a hiatus last year left music fans heartbroken 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. The festival will kick off in Ballarat on December 6, setting the stage for a series of epic performances '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. Another was shocked that 'a festival that sells out every year, can't even go ahead'.

New Bloom Fest Act 'Excited' To Do Their First Shoey In Australia This Week
There is perhaps no topic more divisive in contemporary Australian musical discourse than the concept of the 'shoey'. The eruption of the controversial 'shoey' chant at gigs has sparked increasingly polarising reactions from punters and artists alike for going on a decade now, with some fans remaining doggedly amused by the act of peer-pressuring their favourite artist into sipping from the athlete's chalice, while others are increasingly pissed off that the unapologetically bogan tradition refuses to fuck off and die. Mere days ago, US country star Chris Stapleton said he would 'graciously decline' the unhygienic rite of passage if offered during his current arena tour. But the multiple Grammy-winner doesn't speak for everyone. While headlining Spilt Milk 2023, pop megastar Post Malone voluntarily ripped a shoey live onstage. Nobody asked – he just wanted to. And tbh, regardless of how you feel about the ongoing debate around the cursed foot-flavoured frothy, I'd like to put forward that, in a Liberal Democratic society that supports individual liberty, bodily autonomy and personal choice, it's kinda our duty to hold space for overseas artists visiting our fair country who just really wanna give it a red hot crack. Case in point: Zayna Youssef from Philadelphia alt-rock rising stars Sweet Pill. The five-piece are currently gearing up to make their Aussie live debut alongside Basement, Balance & Composure and more at the East Coast-roaming New Bloom Fest, which kicks off in Brisbane next Saturday, 8th March. And Youssef is excited to toast their maiden voyage down under with a traditional Aussie hydration ritual. 'If I had to pick one thing I'm most excited to do while we're in Australia – it's definitely going to be a shoey,' she confesses to Music Feeds. 'As gross as it is, I want to impress you guys! Whatever you guys do, I wanna do. The adrenaline's gonna be pumping, but I'm gonna be drinking!' But Youssef is still pondering a few key logistics. 'I'm not sure if I want it to be my shoe or not though,' she continues. 'It's a little conflicting because I don't want my shoe to be beer-y and sticky; but I also don't know where that shoe has been if it's from someone else. I've never been to Australia before, so how am I going to know what an Australian shoe is going to be like?! Maybe we can get a spare pair for me, with the tags still attached preferably!' Now, speaking as someone who has been peer-pressured into chugging a toe-jam lager live on stage twice in my time, with a 50% hit rate on getting fucked with gastro the day after, I would strongly encourage Sweet Pill or their fans to whip down to Payless before the fest to pre-prepare some untainted foot schooners, so the frontwoman can experience all the glory with none of the guts-chucking.
