Montell Jordan, Ray J & NEXT join Juicy Fest 2025 line-up

Montell Jordan, Ray J and Next dominated the 90s and early 2000s and in 2025, they’ll be dominating the Juicy Fest stage.

Ray J, Next, and Montell Jordan are the latest artists to officially join the Juicy Fest 2025 line-up, which is stacked with some of the biggest names in hip hop and R&B including Ludacris, Akon, Jeremih, Keyshia Cole, Fat Joe, Jacquees, Bizzy Bone, Layzie Bone, Jay Sean, Twista, Baby Bash, Pleasure P and Bobby V.

Juicy Fest is a one-day festival, scheduled for four shows across Australia this summer. The Australian leg of the tour gets underway in Fremantle in Western Australia on January 15, before heading to Melbourne on January 17, Sydney on January 18 and the Gold Coast on January 19.

Montell Jordan, Next and Ray J were powerhouses of 90s and 2000s R&B and their hits are proof of their influence. With Montell Jordan’s This is How We Do It, Get It On Tonite, Let’s Ride and Falling; Ray J’s One Wish, Sexy Can I and Another Day in Paradise; and NEXT’s dance floor-heavy tracks Too Close and Wifey, will add to the nostalgia of Juicy Fest 2025.

“I can’t wait to be a part of the biggest Juicy Fest tour to hit down under. The line-up is stacked so you know it’s going to be a good time and I can’t wait to see you all down under this summer,” Montell Jordan says.

“The Juicy Fest 2025 tour is going to be lit. I got all the songs that you all want to hear, I’m taking it all the way back to the beginning,” Ray J says.

Juicy Fest 2025 will be the biggest since its inception in 2023, with the total number of R&B and hip-hop icons and hitmakers touring Australia to 16.

Juicy Fest promoter Glenn Meikle says 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.

“This line-up is massive and we can’t wait to bring 16 international artists who are icons and hitmakers in their genre to one stage. We’re confident the massive line-up caters to all R&B and hip-hop fans across Australia,” Meikle says.
