Khalid and Chvrches Lead Spilt Milk's Stacked 2019 Lineup
This year, the festival is heading to both Canberra and Ballarat for the first time.
Canberra's legendary music, art and food festival Spilt Milk is set to return for its fourth edition this summer, though this year, the ACT's not the only place that'll be getting a taste of the action. Regional Victoria is also coming to the party, as the festival expands and adds a second Ballarat outing to its bill.
Yep, the one-dayer is doubling in size, hitting Canberra's Commonwealth Park on Saturday, November 23, before making its southern debut at Ballarat's Victoria Park on November 30. That should mean twice as many festivalgoers get to join in the fun, which is a win given Spilt Milk tickets have sold out in under 30 minutes every year. If you're interstate and have missed out previously, this could be your chance to score a look-in.
And, in even more exciting news, the festival's jam-packed lineup has just dropped. Heading the bill is American R&B star Khalid, who'll be heading Down Under fresh off the back of releasing his chart-topping debut album, Free Spirit. Khalid has also previously collaborated with the likes of Kendrick Lamar and Billie Eilish — and he's only 21.
He'll be joined by fellow international artists, Scottish synth-pop trio Chvrches and Chicago rapper Juice Wrld. There's also plenty of homegrown goodness on the menu, with the likes of indie rock band Middle Kids, Triple J Hottest 100 winners Ocean Alley, electro trio Mansionair and Adelaide rapper Allday all set to take the Spilt Milk stage.
But the musical lineup's not to be outdone by the rest of the program, with a ripper serve of visual art, tasty eats and pop-up bars on the cards. As well as mojitos on tap, there'll be eats from the likes of Belle's Hot Chicken, Bluebonnet BBQ, Mr Burger and Sparrow's Philly Cheesesteak.
