Spilt Milk has finally lifted the lid on its 2026 lineup, and after weeks of rumours, the regional touring giant has delivered a pretty serious bill.
Scottish hitmaker Lewis Capaldi and four-time GRAMMY nominee RAYE will headline this year’s festival, with both artists appearing exclusively at Spilt Milk across four dates in December.
The fest will return to its spiritual home of Canberra on Saturday, 12 December before heading to the Gold Coast, debuting at its new Victorian home in Geelong and wrapping up in Perth.
Capaldi arrives following a huge return to live touring, including a sold-out Australian arena run in 2025 and more than one million tickets shifted worldwide. He’ll bring with him recent UK No. 1 single Survive, alongside the catalogue that made him one of the biggest voices in modern pop, including Someone You Loved.
Sharing top billing is RAYE, who’ll arrive armed with forthcoming sophomore album THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE. and its blockbuster single WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!. Following her record-breaking sweep at the 2024 BRIT Awards, the South London artist has continued building one of contemporary pop’s most compelling catalogues, moving effortlessly between jazz, soul, dance music and emotionally devastating pop songwriting.
Elsewhere on the international front, Spilt Milk has locked in Irish electronic powerhouse KETTAMA, US rapper Baby Keem, British singer-songwriter Maisie Peters, alt-pop firecracker Remi Wolf, Dublin artist F3miii, Brooklyn producer jigitz and rising US rapper Samara Cyn.
The Aussie contingent is equally stacked.
DMA’S will return to Spilt Milk for the first time since playing the festival’s inaugural 2016 edition, this time bringing their forthcoming self-titled fifth album along for the ride.
They’ll be joined by Miss Kaninna, Aleksiah, Becca Hatch, Harry Hayes, Pash, The Moving Stills, The Terrys, Tobiahs, STÜM and Yes Boone, among others.
The fest will also continue spotlighting emerging talent, with local triple j Unearthed winners set to open each leg of the tour, while the Gold Coast edition will feature an American Apparel StAArt Up Fund winner.
Beyond the music, Spilt Milk’s visual arts program will again be developed in collaboration with socially conscious art studios, including its longstanding partnership with Victoria Park Centre for the Arts’ Create Connect Art initiative, supporting artists with disabilities through structured creative workshops.
