Party In The Paddock will return in 2023. The festival, held in Tasmania, celebrates its rebirth on 10, 11, and 12 February at its new venue, Quercus Park, just a 25-minute drive from Launceston.

While the line-up is yet to be announced, punters can sign up for pre-sale tickets to ensure they don't miss out. Previous iterations of the festival have hosted Gang Of Youths, Lily Allen, The Avalanches, Kingswood, Allday, Violent Soho, Tkay Maidza, Middle Kids, Yungblud, Spiderbait, Ecca Vandal, Holy Holy, Tash Sultana, Vera Blue, Montaigne, Sampa The Great, Trophy Eyes, Matt Corby and many more. Looking at all those acts, you wouldn't want to be late when the pre-sale begins.

Ticketing options will come after the line-up arrives in the next few weeks; camping and single-day options will be available. Shuttle buses will also be provided to assist festivalgoers in getting to the paddock.

Jesse Higgs, the Artistic Director of Vibestown, notes, "In the absence of PITP, we were able to reflect on what we created and the special community that bound the festival together. We are able to see clearly the importance and responsibility of this festival to the larger community of lutruwita/Tasmania, and the future feels like a brighter place with the spirit of Party In The Paddock returning to our world. This is our commitment to bring back Vibestown's most special event during the Tassie summer festival calendar and to celebrate its 10th year in spectacular fashion."

Party In The Paddock organisers announced that the 2020 edition would be its last. They wrote, "We've had to be really honest with ourselves. All things - no matter how special - must at some point come to an end, and we want the most special project of our lives to go out on top" upon the announcement. Inspired by the music community's enthusiasm for the festival and the gaping hole without it, the event will make a triumphant return next year.
