Tasmania’s most beloved festival Party In The Paddock is back for its 13th spin around the sun, and 2026’s edition is already shaping up to be one for the ages.
Returning to Quercus Park on the banks of the tilapangka/Liffey River in lutruwita/Tasmania from February 5–8, the four-day celebration of music, mateship and mayhem will once again transform the island into the ultimate summer playground.
This year’s monumental lineup is stacked with local legends and international heavyweights. Ocean Alley will lead the charge with their dreamy psych-rock anthems, joined by Sophie Ellis-Bextor (UK) bringing the dancefloor murder, The Veronicas delivering nostalgic emo singalong chaos, and Sofi Tukker (USA) turning the Paddock into one giant global dance party.
Also on the bill: The Temper Trap, Flight Facilities, Peking Duk, and Ball Park Music, each promising euphoric, hands-in-the-air moments.
And that’s just the main course – the lineup also boasts the likes of Peach PRC, Mallrat, Genesis Owusu, Baker Boy, Ruby Fields, Dune Rats, In Hearts Wake, RedHook, and literally dozens more, including a yet-to-be-announced triple j Unearthed act.
But as always, Party In The Paddock is about more than the music. Punters will also cop drag and cabaret shows, art installations, live podcasts, yoga sessions, skate ramps, bull rides, markets and more across six stages, creating a technicolour wonderland of sound and community.
Whether you’re camping the full four days or dropping in for the weekend, PITP 2026 promises a wild, heart-filling, mud-splattered, soul-reviving celebration – and probs one of the biggest festival lineups Australia will see all summer tbh.
Cop the full lineup down yonder.
