Party in the Paddock is pulling out all the stops for 2027, unveiling a massive lineup led by Hilltop Hoods, Gang of Youths, Ninajirachi and Violent Soho.
Returning to Quercus Park in Lutruwita/Tasmania from February 4-7, the festival’s 14th edition will bring together some of Australia’s biggest names alongside international favourites and a healthy dose of emerging talent.
Hilltop Hoods will close out the festival on Sunday night, arriving off the back of their ninth studio album, Fall From the Light, which became their seventh ARIA No. 1 and set a new record for the Australian group.
Gang of Youths will lead the charge on Friday night following their sold out Sydney Opera House return, while electronic powerhouse Ninajirachi will headline Saturday following a huge year that saw her album I Love My Computer top the ARIA Dance Albums chart.
The Jungle Giants will headline Thursday’s activities, bringing their infections indie-pop and tracks from their chart-topping album, Experiencing Feelings of Joy.
Another major drawcard is the return of Violent Soho to the festival circuit. Having ended their four-year hiatus with a run of headline shows in September, the Brisbane rock favourites will bring their formidable live show to the Paddock.
They will be joined by G Flip, Missy Higgins and Lime Cordiale, adding even more Australian star power to an already stacked bill.
