Juicy Fest keeps on getting juicer, with the hip hop and R&B festival adding more big names to the 2025 lineup.
Jeremih, Bizzy Bone, Layzie Bone, Jay Sean, Twista, Baby Bash, Pleasure P, Bobby V and the Ying Yang Twins have all been included on the bill and will play all legs of the Australian and New Zealand festival.
These fresh faces join an already stacked lineup including Ludacris, Akon, Keyshia Cole, Omarion, Fat Joe, Jacquees and SWV. Sadly Tyga and Blackstreet are now no longer part of Juicy Fest 2025, with both being removed from all promotional material.
Juicy Fest 2025 first takes place in New Zealand, with the festival landing in Christchurch on Wednesday, January 8. The festival then moves to Wellington on Friday, January 10, Auckland on Saturday, January 11 and Tauranga on Sunday, January 12.
The hip hop and R&B spectacular then heads to Australia, with the exciting lineup hitting Perth on Wednesday, January 15, Melbourne on Friday, January 17, Sydney on Saturday, January 18 and Queensland on Sunday, January 19.
Tickets for Juicy Fest 2025 are on sale here.
“Set lengths for artists will differ for each depending on their contractual requirements and artist requests, but each set will range from 20 minutes to 50 minutes and still allow enough time to perform their biggest hits,” promoter Glenn Meikle said in a statement.
“This year’s line-up is packed with artists responsible for some of R&B and hip hop’s biggest hits of the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s, and we’re excited to see the crowd respond to the high energy of our artists.”
Fellow promoter Matthew Spratt added, “This line-up is massive, and we can’t wait to bring 16 international artists who are icons and hitmakers in their genre to one stage.
“We’re confident the massive new line-up will cater to all R&B and hip-hop fans across Australia and New Zealand.”
