Joining Juicy Fest 2025 – Montell Jordan, Ray J & NEXT

JUICY FEST LINE UP UPDATE

We've got some exciting news – we’re adding Ray J, Next, and Montell Jordan to the Juicy Fest 2025 line-up.

These R&B icons have hits!

Ray J’s One Wish, Sexy Can I and Another Day in Paradise are just a few of our Ray J favourites and we can’t wait for him to take the stage – and you might even see him pop up during some of our other Juicy Fest 2025 artists throughout the tour across Australia and New Zealand.

You can’t speak about 90s R&B without mentioning Montell Jordan and Next! This is How We Do It, Get It On Tonite, Let’s Ride and Falling are some of our favourite 90s tunes and we’re excited you all will get to see him perform these hits live.

Next ruled the dance floors in the late 90s and early 2000s with hits like Too Close and Wifey but had us falling in love to Butta Love and I Still Love You.

Ray J, Next, and Montell Jordan will join Ludacris, Akon, Jeremih, Keyshia Cole, Fat Joe, Jacquees, Bizzy Bone, Layzie Bone, Jay Sean, Twista, Baby Bash, Pleasure P and Bobby V at Juicy Fest 2025, touring 8 cities in January.

With this great news, we also have some less than favourable news.

Unfortunately SWV, Omarion, and the Ying Yang Twins are no longer able to join us for Juicy Fest 2025. We've worked tirelessly to try and keep them on the line-up, but this hasn’t worked out.

Rather than waiting in hope for the ideal outcome we decided to make the tough call now. The last thing we would have wanted was waiting and not having enough time to secure replacement artists. Making this decision as early as possible has allowed us to move forward with new additions and ensure a fantastic experience for all of you.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Our updated Juicy Fest 2025 line-up includes some incredible artists who will be bringing their talents to the stage, and we're confident this will make for an unforgettable event.

Best regards,

The Juicy Fest Team

16 ARTISTS ANNOUNCED FOR JUICY FEST 2025

Juicy Fest 2025 has added nine artists to the Juicy Fest line-up, bringing the total number of R&B and hip-hop icons and hitmakers touring Australia and New Zealand to 16.

Jeremih, Bizzy Bone, Layzie Bone, Jay Sean, Twista, Baby Bash, Pleasure P, Bobby V and the Ying Yang Twins are officially confirmed to perform at Juicy Fest 2025, joining Ludacris, Akon, Keyshia Cole, Omarion, Fat Joe, Jacquees and SWV.

Unfortunately, 90s R&B group Blackstreet and hip-hop star Tyga are no longer able to be part of Juicy Fest 2025 but we’re confident the massive new line-up will cater to all R&B and hip-hop fans across Australia and New Zealand.

This is the biggest line-up Juicy Fest has seen since it started in 2023 and in 2025 we will welcome some of our previous Juicy Fest alum back for the first time. Back by popular demand are crowd favourite Bizzy Bone, hip-hop legend Twista and R&B singer Pleasure P, who performed at Juicy Fest’s debut event as part of Pretty Ricky.

Despite the line-up near doubling in size, this does not mean we are adding a second stage to the event. All artists will still perform on the one main stage throughout the day. Set lengths for artists will differ based on their contracted times and artist requests, and will range from 20-minute sets to 50-minute sets but still allowing enough time to perform their biggest hits.

Don’t worry about ticket prices, the costs remain the same – even with so many extra artists added to the line-up.

PAYMENT PLANS

Ten week payments plans are available for seven out of eight Juicy Fest shows across Australia and New Zealand.

Tickets for Juicy Fest shows in Christchurch, Wellington, Auckland, Tauranga, Perth, Melbourne, and the Gold Coast can be secured from as little as $21.90 and paid off over 10 weeks for GA tickets. This same payment plan can be secured for VIP tickets from $34.90 a week and VVIP tickets from $100 a week. Fees apply, which can differ dependent on individual banks.

Unfortunately, this payment plan option is not available in Sydney. This is because the venue, Accor Stadium, has ticketing restrictions as part of their contract with Ticketek, which means they are unable to offer the 10-week Payment Plan. Afterpay is available for all Juicy Fest shows.

VENUES

Juicy Fest Queensland will return to Gold Coast’s Doug Jennings Park in 2025 – but rest assured we have introduced a number of improvements to alleviate traffic issues that troubled attendees in 2024.

We have taken all concerns regarding this venue into account and after considering multiple venues throughout Queensland and having many conversations with stakeholders, we have been unable to find another venue that can meet the requirements needed for Juicy Fest and its attendees.   We have worked very closely with all stakeholders including Doug Jennings Park management, traffic management, council and police to ensure a steady traffic flow in the area for Juicy Fest Queensland in 2025. After many hours of discussions we are confident this can be done.

Here are some of the changes being made to the 2025 Juicy Fest Gold Coast event to improve traffic flow:

  • Bus tickets are included the cost of the Juicy Fest Gold Coast ticket prices, meaning everyone with a ticket can access a free bus service.
  • The number of buses available will be able to over-cater to the number of attendees.
  • An improved traffic management plan proven to have been successful for other high-attendance events at the same venue.
  • There will be a dedicated area for ride share services and public drop-offs and pick-ups, that will not cross into the bus route.
  • We are looking at utilising alternative transportation options that are offered in the surrounding area.
  • Potential extension for gate opening time.

Juicy Fest is touring eight cities across New Zealand and Australia in January 2025. Here are the dates and locations:

  • January 8: Christchurch (Queen Elizabeth II Park)
  • January 10: Wellington, NZ
  • January 11: Auckland (Showgrounds)
  • January 12: Tauranga (Baypark)
  • January 15: Fremantle, WA,
  • January 17: Melbourne (Showgrounds)
  • January 18: Sydney (Accor Stadium)
  • January 19: Gold Coast (Doug Jennings Park) *Venues are subject to normal council approvals.
