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. 

Another was shocked that ‘a festival that sells out every year, can’t even go ahead’.
