After weeks of speculation, Australia’s biggest single-day music festival Spilt Milk unveils its 2026 dates and lineup. And the wait was Worth It. With international superstars Lewis Capaldi and RAYE headlining two huge weekends in December, playing exclusively for Spilt Milk.
After last year’s sell-out run, Spilt Milk 2026 kicks off where it all began – in its spiritual home of Canberra/Ngunnawal on Saturday 12 December at Exhibition Park, then heading to the Sunshine State on Sunday 13 December in Gold Coast/Kombumerri at Gold Coast Sports Precinct. Weekend two welcomes a new Victorian home in Geelong/Wadawurrung on Saturday 19 December at Kardinia Park Precinct,before wrapping in Perth/Whadjuk on Sunday 20 December at Claremont Showground.
Scottish chart-dominator Lewis Capaldi leads the Spilt Milk bill – his first Australian festival run since that iconic 2025 Glastonbury performance. His phenomenal return to live touring saw more than a million tickets sold worldwide and a record-shattering, sold-out multi-arena tour across Australian capital cities in December 2025. He lands with sixth UK #1 “Survive” behind him, the latest from the voice behind culture-defining ballad “Someone You Loved”, the UK’s most-streamed song of all time.
South London’s four-time GRAMMY-nominated sensation RAYE shares top billing, bringing her sophomore album THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE. in tow. Led by UK #1 smash hit “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!” and its 800 million streams, RAYE’s catalogue moves between jazz-inflected pop and rave cuts – a range that has carried her from 20 Top 40 UK singles to 10 billion cumulative streams and a 2024 BRIT Awards sweep, taking home the most ever titles in a single year, including Album of the Year.
Galway’s KETTAMA rewrites the rules of electronic music – crushing bass, relentless drums and euphoric release, a blueprint that has taken him from laptop producer to international cult figure. Following his 2025 album Archangel and recent Underworld and Dom Dolla collabs, catch him at peak power. Baby Keem touches down hot off the release of Ca$ino, his long-awaited second album featuring Kendrick Lamar, Too $hort and Denzel Curry. Expect a set stacked with cuts from a record that’s powered him through a sold-out 36-date North American run and into Governors Ball and Summer Smash.
Rising UK songwriter Maisie Peters will blend chart-topping hooks with confessional vulnerability in her four exclusive Spilt Milk appearances. Her ARIA and UK #1 charting album Florescence finds her stripped back and introspective, a storytelling masterclass that features Julia Michaels and Marcus Mumford. Renowned for her electric stage presence and boundary-pushing pop sound, Remi Wolf brings a set stacked with fan-favourite anthems like the Gold-certified “Photo ID” and chart-climbing hits “Cinderella” and “Toro”. Sydney trio DMA’S return with their self-titled fifth album in August, backing up 500+ million streams, multi-Platinum singles and triumphant festival slots from Glastonbury to Coachella. Now they return to Spilt Milk for the first time since performing at its very first edition in 2016.
SA’s Aleksiah will bring her catchy, tongue-in-cheek indie-pop and main-character swagger; Kamilaroi/Samoan artist Becca Hatch fuses R&B and a club-ready sound. New Zealand’s Borderline deliver infectious, hook-heavy indie rock and arrive off a sold-out 14-date North American tour. Dublin’s F3miii moves between alternative R&B and electronic, and will have the crowd singing along to viral Billboard Hot 100 single “NOBLE” (with the re-release version featuring The Kid LAROI); Kurdish-Kiwi synthclub-hip-hop artist Fat Papi went from freestyling with friends over Skype to a global moment, in less than 7 weeks, his track “FREAKED OUT” has amassed 35M streams and he currently holds the top spots across the Shazam charts: #3 Global, #3 Viral, #1 and #5 Hip-Hop, and #1 Australia. The meteoric rise of Sydney producer Harry Hayes, whose genre-blurring electronic sound has earned major praise from Caribou and Fred again, now lands him on the Spilt Milk stage. Brooklyn’s jigitz sends dancefloors into overdrive with “tell you straight”, the 71-million-stream hit, channelling frantic UK garage. Persian-American artist Leyla Ebrahimi lays out intimate, devastating alt-pop confessionals from her debut EP Planet You Forgot Me; and it’s not a party without the fierce Miss Kaninna – Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung, Kalkadoon and Yirendali sovereign woman, and “blak Britney Spears”.
Adelaide four-piece Pash have skyrocketed with their nostalgic 90s/00s indie-pop; American rapper and singer/songwriter Samara Cyn is a must-see for fans of Tyler, The Creator and Spilt Milk alum Doechii. Melbourne-born and London-based producer STÜM ups the club energy as one of the most exciting names in global electronic music right now; Central Coast favourites The Moving Stills whip up breezy, surf-infused indie-pop hits. Aussie fan-favourites The Terrys join the bill hot off their laid-back collab “All Gucci”; Lebanese-Australian producer Tobiahs bridges early-2000s UK garage and future-bass bounce with Platinum single “Lifetime”; and Sydney’s Yes Boone closes out the class of 2026 with his dance music mastery. Still to be announced, local triple j Unearthed winners will open each show, while an American Apparel StAArt Up Fund winner is set to perform on the Gold Coast.

Grammy Award-winning artist’s exclusive 2,000-cap performance takes place at one of Budapest’s most iconic UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Grammy Award-winning Black Coffee will headline an exclusive 2,000-cap open-air performance at Budapest’s UNESCO-listed Buda Castle on 14 August 2026, marking a rare opportunity to experience one of the world’s leading electronic artists in an intimate and historic setting.
Presented by BSH Events in partnership with local promoter City Takeover, the event marks BSH’s first-ever show in Hungary and continues the Croatian promoter’s reputation for creating unforgettable electronic music experiences in culturally significant locations.
Black Coffee is a global force in Afro house, having defined the sound through his acclaimed productions, headline festival performances and celebrated Ibiza residencies. His long-standing relationship with BSH has already produced several standout events, and this summer continues that legacy with his highly anticipated return to Budapest – his first performance in the city in 12 years – following his appearance at BSH Amphitheatre Pula in Croatia just two weeks earlier.
Set atop Castle Hill overlooking the Danube, Buda Castle is one of Budapest’s defining landmarks and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Perched above the Danube, Buda Castle has dominated Budapest’s skyline since the 13th century. Today, its UNESCO-listed Baroque palace provides one of Europe’s most spectacular settings for cultural events. Its dramatic architecture, panoramic views and unique atmosphere will provide a spectacular backdrop for one of the summer’s most anticipated electronic music events.
The Budapest event represents the next chapter in the ongoing collaboration between Black Coffee and BSH, following a series of successful performances together across Europe. It also marks a major milestone for BSH Events as the promoter brings its distinctive approach to destination-driven electronic music experiences to Hungary for the first time.
DHB has unveiled the cultured lineup for the fourth edition of DHB Portugal, which is back from 18th-19th September 2026 with a gorgeous beachfront location in Costa da Caparica, just south of Lisbon.
The intimate atmosphere and close knit crowd has defined previous editions of this sun-kissed two-day event and once again this year sees a carefully curated selection of international and local artists across house, Afro, organic and minimal, all against the dramatic backdrop of Portugal’s Atlantic coastline.
Opening on Friday 18th September, the programme focuses on groove-led house with performances from Brazilian star Beltran, underground favourite and acclaimed selector Carlita and UK tech house favourite Josh Baker alongside Oxhalá, Mehdi, Rafael and Rome.
Saturday 19th September shifts towards Afro, organic and minimal with pioneering cult hero Luciano, the intoxicating depths of Bedouin and Ahmed Spins leading the lineup. They are joined by Rooléh, Saraga and Portugal’s own Just Kelly for the closing day.
Following three successful editions, DHB Portugal returns in 2026 to Costa da Caparica, a lively coastal town in Almada, Portugal, famous for its 15+kms of golden sandy beaches and world-famous surfing just a 20-minute ride south of Lisbon, which makes it popular with surfers and digital nomads.
Set on those same sweeping beaches, DHB Portugal brings open-air production to a natural coastal setting for two classy days of sounds under the sun. The event comes from As We Are Events, the Lisbon-based creative agency behind a growing portfolio of large-scale music and cultural events who are shaping the Portuguese landscape.

Seoul’s genre-defying electronic-punk innovators return to Australia following growing international acclaim.Australian audiences will have the chance to experience one of South Korea’s most uncompromising underground acts when HYPNOSIS THERAPY returns this week for a three-date Australian tour. Presented by Tiny Minds Agency, the tour will see the Seoul-based duo perform intimate headline shows in Naarm, Melbourne and Eora, Sydney, before joining acclaimed Australian act Full Flower Moon Band for a special Meanjin, Brisbane, appearance. Comprising of rapper JJANGYOU and producer Jflow, HYPNOSIS THERAPY has builtComprising rapper JJANGYOU and producer Jflow, HYPNOSIS THERAPY has earned a reputation as one of the most exciting names emerging from Korea’s alternative music scene. Blending breakbeats, techno, punk, rave and experimental electronic music, the duo has forged a sound that is as confrontational as it is danceable. Rolling Stone Australia described the pair as: “Composed of scene veterans vocalist Jjangyou and producer Jflow, the pair have impressed on solo endeavours but really come into their own together.” Since forming in Seoul in 2022, HYPNOSIS THERAPY has become known for high-intensity live performances that combine underground club culture with punk attitude and socially charged lyricism. Their music explores themes of conformity, identity and resistance, transforming frustration into immersive electronic soundscapes. The duo has steadily expanded its international profile through tours across Europe and Asia while collaborating with global brands including Converse, Nike and Maker’s Mark. In 2026, they will also perform at Spain’s renowned Primavera Sound festival, further cementing their growing global reputation. Their latest release, NO, created in collaboration with boundary-pushing electronic artist Alex Wilcox, represents the group’s boldest artistic statement to date. Released in late 2025, the EP fuses big beat, rave, techno, punk and breakbeat into a powerful collection centred on individuality and creative freedom. Rather than delivering political slogans, NO channels its message through explosive rhythms, irony and infectious energy. It is a celebration of refusing conformity and embracing difference, an approach that has resonated with audiences well beyond Korea’s underground scene. HYPNOSIS THERAPY’s visual identity is equally distinctive. Their mushroom emblem symbolises life emerging from decay and light growing through darkness, reflecting the duo’s philosophy of transforming chaos into creativity. With three acclaimed releases already behind them- HYPNOSIS THERAPY (2022), PSILOCYBIN (2023) and RAW SURVIVAL (2024) – the duo continues to push the boundaries between electronic music, punk and performance art. This is one live show NOT TO BE MISSED!

From global hits like Udd Gaye, Liggi and Sage to creating one of the most unique live experiences in electronic music, Ritviz has always blurred the lines between tradition and innovation. With Kurta Saree Dance Party (KSDP), he has taken that vision beyond music, creating an event where fashion, culture, identity and community become part of the performance itself.
Ahead of the Australian edition of KSDP, we caught up with Ritviz to talk about the inspiration behind the concept, celebrating South Asian identity, and why belonging has become just as important as the music.
What was the moment you realised Kurta Saree Dance Party was more than a show and actually a cultural statement?
I don’t think it started with the intention of making a statement. It came from wanting to create a space that felt familiar to me. The first time I saw people turning up in kurtas, sarees, sneakers, or clothes they’d never usually wear to a club, I realised this was becoming something much bigger than a concert. People weren’t dressing up because they had to—they were expressing a part of themselves. That’s when I understood KSDP wasn’t just about my music anymore. It had to become something people wanted to belong to.
KSDP brings together fashion, music and identity in the same space. How intentional was it to make the audience part of the performance rather than just observers?
Very intentional. I’ve always believed the audience completes the experience. With KSDP, I didn’t want people standing in front of a stage watching me perform; I wanted everyone to feel like they were creating the night together. When everyone walks into the room wearing kurtas and sarees, dancing together regardless of where they’re from, it changes the energy completely. The crowd becomes the visual identity of the show. That’s what makes every city feel unique.
You have described KSDP as something that exists between cultures. How has your own experience of identity shaped the way this concept came to life?
Growing up in India, I was always surrounded by traditional sounds and rituals, but I was equally obsessed with electronic music, hip-hop and everything happening globally. I never saw those things as separate worlds. That’s how I make music too. I don’t think in terms of “traditional” versus “modern.” They’re all just influences that exist naturally together. KSDP is really an extension of that mindset. It’s a space where people don’t have to choose one identity over another; they can celebrate all of it at the same time.
From Udd Gaye to Liggi and Sage, your sound has travelled globally. How does it feel to now create something that is equally about community as it is about music?
It’s probably the most rewarding part of what I do now. Songs have always connected people, but KSDP lets me actually witness that connection in real time. I see strangers becoming friends, people introducing their cultures to each other, families coming together, and people feeling represented in spaces where they maybe haven’t before. Music brought everyone into the room, but community is what makes them want to come back.
What does it mean to you to see South Asian identity expressed so freely and unapologetically on a dancefloor in cities like Sydney and Melbourne?
It’s honestly beautiful. For a long time, a lot of people felt like they had to leave parts of their identity at the door to fit into certain spaces. Seeing thousands of people proudly wearing traditional clothing, dancing to Indian sounds mixed with electronic music, and sharing that experience with friends from completely different backgrounds, it feels like we’ve reached a point where people are celebrating culture instead of explaining it. That’s incredibly special.
KSDP blends tradition with modern electronic production. How do you approach balancing cultural roots with experimentation without losing either?
If something genuinely inspires me, I’ll explore it honestly instead of trying to make it fit into a formula. Whether it’s an old folk melody, a percussion rhythm or a synth line, everything deserves the same curiosity. I think audiences can tell when something is authentic versus when it’s just being used as an aesthetic. As long as the intention is real, the music finds its own balance.
Was there a specific influence or personal memory that helped shape the immersive world-building aspect of KSDP?
A lot of it comes from growing up around Indian weddings and festivals. Those were always spaces where music, food, colours, fashion and people all existed together. There wasn’t really a separation between performer and audience; everyone contributed to the atmosphere. I wanted to recreate that feeling inside a modern club environment. Not literally, but emotionally. Somewhere that feels warm, welcoming and celebratory from the moment you walk in.
You have said this is not a standard club night. What do you think mainstream nightlife gets wrong about cultural expression and belonging?
I don’t think mainstream nightlife gets it wrong; I just think there’s room for more experiences that make people feel seen. A lot of nightlife is built around escaping reality. KSDP is almost the opposite. It’s about bringing your whole self into the room. Your culture, your language, your clothes, your friends, everything is welcome. When people feel like they don’t have to edit themselves, the energy becomes much more genuine.
How do audiences in different countries respond to KSDP, and do you notice any differences in how the message is received or understood?
The reactions are different, but the emotion is usually the same. In India, there’s an immediate familiarity because people recognise a lot of the cultural references instinctively. Outside India, especially in places like Australia, London or North America, there’s another layer to it. For members of the South Asian diaspora, it often feels like reconnecting with something they grew up with. For everyone else, it’s an invitation into a culture through music and celebration instead of explanation.
When people leave a KSDP night, what do you hope they carry with them beyond the music and the energy of the event?
I hope they leave feeling a little more connected to themselves, to the people they came with, and maybe even to people they had never met before. If someone walks away feeling proud of who they are, or curious about somebody else’s culture, then I think we’ve achieved something meaningful. The music lasts for a few hours, but hopefully that feeling stays with people much longer.
