Juicy Fest promoters Matthew Spratt and Glenn Meikle sharee that the 2025 lineup is all about good vibes and positive memories.
“This year’s line-up is packed with artists responsible for some of R&B and hip hop’s biggest hits of the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s and we’re excited to see the crowd respond to the high energy of our artists,” Spratt says.
“Every year we are excited to bring another line-up to Australia and we believe we’ve come up with a high calibre group of artists that people will be excited to see,” Meikle says.

“We’ve locked in some of the biggest names in R&B and hip hop from the 1990s and 2000s era and they’re just as excited about coming to Australia as we are to be hosting them,” Spratt says.
