Don Toliver, Jhené Aiko To Headline 2025 Souled Out Festival

After sold-out 2024 events, Australia’s newest R&B and hip-hop festival, Souled Out, will return in 2025.

American rapper and singer-songwriter Don Toliver and R&B superstar Jhené Aiko will co-headline next year's event. They’ll be joined by music powerhouse Vince Staples, Mariah The Scientist, 6LACK, BLXST, and Kaash Paige, among others. A separate stage dedicated to DJs has also been booked.

International DJs Jarreau Vandal, S!rene, and Rosey Gold will hit the Soul Party stage, with Australian DJs Larissa Lambert and SAHXL representing the country on the big stage.

The 2025 event will return to Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane in early 2025. The Melbourne edition will take place at the Caribbean Gardens on Saturday, 22 February, before the artists head to Sydney’s Parramatta Park on Sunday, 23 February, and the Brisbane Showgrounds on Friday, 28 February.

Pre-sale tickets will be available via the Whatslively app and website from Wednesday, 18 December, at 12 pm AEDT. The general sale will begin on Thursday, 19 December, at 12 pm AEDT via the Souled Out website.

Festival co-founder Emal Naim said of the forthcoming event, “The success of Souled Out 2024 showed Australians were craving for a modern R&B festival, so we’re here to stay, and we can’t wait to keep feeding this vibrant community of R&B fans.”

The inaugural edition of Souled Out – led by Summer Walker, Bryson Tiller, and PARTYNEXTDOOR – took place earlier this year and sold 75,000 tickets across five cities. This year’s Souled Out was held at Sydney’s Parramatta Park, the Gold Coast’s Doug Jennings Park, Auckland’s Trust Arena Outdoors, Melbourne’s Caribbean Park, and Perth’s Claremont Showground.
