Taking place from Thursday, 5 February, to Sunday, 8 February, the festival – located at Quercus Park, just 25 minutes from Launceston on the banks of the tilapangka/Liffey River in Lutruwita/Tasmania – will come to life across multiple stages.

Punters will enjoy live music from six stages: The Paddock Stage, Vibestown Stage, The Bigtop, Silvertongue Stage, The Bullpen, and the spot for emerging talent, Little Island Rising. Over 180 acts appear on this year’s line-up, with support from the Tasmanian Government through Events Tasmania.

This year marks the 13th edition of Party In The Paddock, and it stars an incredible roster of headliners: Ocean Alley, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Sofi Tukker, The Veronicas, The Temper Trap, Flight Facilities, Ball Park Music, and Peking Duk.

Other acts appearing on the line-up include Peach PRC, Mallrat, Blondshell, Dune Rats, Baker Boy, In Hearts Wake, The Preatures, Miss Kaninna, Keli Holiday, Ben Lee, RedHook, Mia Wray, Harvey Sutherland, The Belair Lip Bombs, Gut Health, Piper Butcher, and many others.

Also joining the bill is Tasmanian singer-songwriter Sam McMeekin, who won triple j Unearthed’s Party in the Paddock competition.

“I am so incredibly thrilled to win the triple j Unearthed Party in the Paddock Competition,” McMeekin said. “It is an absolute dream to perform on this stage, and it feels so incredibly rewarding to share Amelioration on a stage of this magnitude after years of hard work.

“I cannot wait to share these songs live with fans old and new in such an incredible setting and cannot thank Unearthed and PITP for the amazing opportunity!”
