Punters rave over 'insane' headliners for Aussie music festival Spilt Milk: 'You deserve the biggest kiss'

Aussie festival fans are rejoicing with the line-up announcement for the 2025 Spilt Milk Festival.
Organisers of the biggest single-day festival in the country revealed this week it will make a triumphant comeback this year after a 2024 hiatus left music fans heartbroken.
Going one better on Friday, Spilt Milk took to social media to reveal the formidable lineup which boasts two of the biggest rappers in the world as headliners.
Multiple Grammy winner Kendrick Lamar, fresh from his Super Bowl half-time performance will lead the charge alongside fellow US rapper Doechii, across all four festival dates.
Florida-based Doechii is currently riding high off the back of an Australian number one for her track Anxiety.
The announcement comes as Kendrick's rival Drake, who was also recently Down Under, launched legal action against the Like That hitmaker alleging his Super Bowl performance was defamatory.
The impressive lineup will also include the likes of Sarah Landry, Dominic Fike, ScHoolboy Q, d4vd, Nessa Barrett, Sofia Isella, Skin On Skin, sombr, Rebecca Black, The Rions, South Summit, and many more.
Festival fans took to social media to issue their joy over the impressive lineup.
'Oh you deserve the biggest kiss,' one fan offered, while another chimed in with a similar, 'Screaming crying throwing up omgggg.'
Another gushed: 'Okay boo you really outdid yourself with this one, proud,' while another deemed it the best Aussie festival lineup in recent memory.
'This is THE LARGEST Lineup I have seen for an Australian festival in YEAAARSS,' they exclaimed.
'Ya'll really waited a year to take GOAT status like that huh?'
Others were quick to urge organisers to be careful where they place Kendrick and Doechii on the anticipated bill.
'Don't u dare put Kendrick and doechii on at the same time,' one fan directed, to which organisers replied with an assuring, 'They won't be clashing.'

Making the announcement of the festival's return on Thursday, organisers shared a clip which captured Spilt Milk's highlights from previous years and captioned it with some exciting words.
'Spilt Milk summer confirmed. See you in Ballarat, Perth, Canberra and Gold Coast this December,' they began.
'Lineup droppin' crazy soon, sign up in link in bio to get it to your inbox.'
The festival will kick off in Ballarat on December 6, setting the stage for a series of epic performances.
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.

Revealed: The plans for a huge, $230 million world-class film studio just outside of Sydney

Earlier this month, following the most successful Sydney Film Festival to date, the NSW Government announced it would commit $380 million to support the screen industry – including $100 million for a new film studio in the state. Now, plans for a potential studio on the Central Coast – just an hour's drive from Sydney's CBD – have been revealed. The 30-hectare site for Central Coast Studios is located in the town of Calga, 62 kilometres north of Sydney in the beautiful Glenworth Valley region of the Central Coast. Here, the team plans to build a $230 million world-class screen production facility featuring 10 sound stages, a film museum, production offices, an education and training precinct, and a series of studios for on-site production. The proposed plans include sustainable, accessible design that celebrates Australia's natural beauty, along with amenities such as a helipad and Australia's largest water tank. Plus, there will be room for expansion – with the team behind the project anticipating continued growth. With Australian screen, television, and digital game production on the rise, the aim is to support a new generation – with Central Coast Studios set to create more than 2,500 jobs in the area (across construction, screen production, hospitality and education). The project was conceived in 2020, and with industry leaders involved in the team, it was already on track to come to life under a self-funded, staged delivery model. The announcement of $100 million in government backing for a new film studio in the area could accelerate the project – we'll just have to watch this space to see if Central Coast Studios is the recipient of the funding. According to the team, the concept has already received praise from local and industry stakeholders – including tertiary education providers and community bodies – for its potential to boost employment in the area, with initial models estimating the studios would inject $500 million into the economy every year. Heath Bonnefin, Co-Director of Central Coast Studios and developer, explained: 'Our vision for Central Coast Studios is to put our beautiful region on the map – globally – as a leading destination for film, television and digital game production. The proposed studios precinct will not only create hundreds of professional roles in film, television and game development here on the Coast, but will also open up a host of new opportunities across tourism, education and small business – while ensuring long-term resilience and showcasing Greater Sydney.' here.

World's 50 Best Restaurants 2025: Odette at the National Gallery Singapore ranks 25th globally

We got a little taste of the World's 50 Best Restaurants 2025 list earlier this month, when the extended 51–100 rankings were released, and yes, local favourites made the cut. Burnt Ends, known for its modern Australian barbecue, and contemporary Singaporean restaurant Labyrinth secured spots 93 and 97 respectively. Now, the full list is out – and Odette has once again earned its place among the world's culinary elite. The elegant French restaurant, tucked within the National Gallery Singapore, comes in at number 25 this year.

While rooted in classic techniques, the menu carries subtle Asian flair, a nod to Chef Julien's time in the region. The restaurant's muted, light-toned interiors exude a sense of calm and quiet luxury, while the extensive wine list and impeccable service complete the dining experience. Here are the top 10 restaurants in the world in 2025: Maido (Lima) Asador Etxebaarri (Atxondo) Quintonil (Mexico City) Diverxo (Madrid) Alchemist (Copenhagen) Gaggan (Bangkok) Sézanne (Tokyo) Table by Bruno Verjus (Paris) Kjolle (Lima) Don Junio (Buenos Aires) View the full list here.
