First held in Canberra in 2016 with a lineup featuring American hip hop star Vince Staples, Sydney indie rockers DMA’s and electro fav Flume, Spilt Milk was a massive success, selling out within hours and demonstrating the passion of music lovers from the ACT.
The festival expanded to Ballarat in 2019 before being forced into hibernation during the COVID-19 pandemic. It returned in 2022 with a Gold Coast leg before adding a Perth date in 2023.
Sadly, the festival was forced to cancel its 2024 event, but the good news is the award-winning Spilt Milk is returning this year and everyone should grab a ticket to make sure it continues to return year in, year out.
