Since launching in 2016, Spilt Milk has grown into Australia’s largest single-day touring music festival.

Securing funding from the ACT Government’s Major Event Fund to cement its place on the region’s calendar this year, ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said that he’s “pleased to welcome the return of Spilt Milk to Canberra in 2025.”

“This festival has firmly established itself as a highlight on Canberra’s events calendar, drawing national and international acts and delivering unforgettable experiences for locals and visitors alike. Major events like Spilt Milk are vital tourism drivers that bring energy and excitement to our city while contributing significantly to the ACT’s visitor economy,” he says.

Director and Co-Founder of Kicks Entertainment, Ryan Sabet shared his excitement about bringing the iconic event back to where it started.

“As a Canberra-born event, we’re incredibly proud to bring Spilt Milk back in 2025 with the support of the ACT Government’s Major Event Fund. This funding allows us to keep delivering an unforgettable festival experience while giving back to the city that shaped us,” he said.

“It’s about more than music – it’s about contributing to the local economy, supporting local businesses and of course, celebrating the vibrancy of our community.”
