Overview
When Spilt Milk announced that it wasn't taking place in 2024, instead delaying its next festivals until 2025, it looked like fans of the event were in for a hefty wait till they could next hear live tunes echo from its stages. But if you're in Newcastle, the Gold Coast or Perth — or can get there — that's no longer the case. Spilt Milk's regular fests remain postponed until next year; however, it's hitting up those three cities this November for a new gig series.
Meet Spilt Milk House Party, aka the shindigs you throw when you're not throwing your regular shindig. If the tactic sounds familiar, that's because Yours and Owls is deploying it in 2024, too, calling it a pre-party instead. The idea is the same, though: get a bunch of acts to play at a smaller event, rather than the usual big festival rollout. For its version, Spilt Milk hasn't skimped on talent.
In addition to his already-announced Australian tour, Troye Sivan leads the Spilt Milk House Party lineup. For company, he'll have Glass Animals, G Flip, Artemas and Sycco.
The quintet have a date with usual Spilt Milk stops Perth and the Gold Coast, before also taking the event to Newcastle. While the fest proper normally takes place in Canberra — where it first started — and Ballarat as well, they're not getting their own House Party shows.

Given the smaller size, there's limited tickets available for the trio of parties, which will pop up at Kings Park Botanic Garden in Perth on Sunday, November 17; head to Broadwater Parklands on the Gold Coast on Saturday, November 23; and call Newcastle Entertainment Centre home on Sunday, November 24.
When Spilt Milk cancelled its full fest experience for 2024, it did so because it "couldn't get you the Spilt Milk you deserve this year," it announced via social media. "Sooo imma dip for a bit and come back when I can make all ur dreams come true. i miss u xx," the statement continued.
