After a sold-out run last year, Spilt Milk has announced its highly anticipated 2026 return. For Queensland music fans, Sunday 13 December is the date to block out, with the festival touching down at the Gold Coast Sports Precinct in Kombumerri.
The lineup is a massive drawcard, led by two international heavyweights playing exclusively at Spilt Milk. Scottish chart-topper Lewis Capaldi will make his first Australian festival appearance since his massive 2025 Glastonbury set. Following his record-breaking arena tour across Australia last December, he returns with his sixth UK number-one single “Survive”. Joining him at the top of the bill is South London sensation RAYE. Fresh from sweeping the 2024 BRIT Awards, she brings her sophomore album THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.
A Stacked Roster of Talent
Beyond the headliners, the Gold Coast crowd will be treated to exclusive sets from rising UK songwriter Maisie Peters, playing tracks from her number-one album Florescence. The bill also features the euphoric electronic beats of Galway’s KETTAMA, US rapper Baby Keem hot off his second album Ca$ino, and pop powerhouse Remi Wolf. Returning to the Spilt Milk stage for the first time since 2016, Sydney trio DMA’S will bring anthems from their new self-titled fifth album.
The festival grounds will also showcase a diverse mix of local and international acts. Highlights include the club energy of STÜM, the fierce stage presence of Miss Kaninna, and a viral performance from Kurdish-Kiwi artist Fat Papi.
For the Gold Coast event specifically, fans will get to see an exclusive performance from the American Apparel StAArt Up Fund winner, adding a unique local flavour to the Queensland leg.
