The Party in the Paddock 2026 lineup has been unveiled.
One of the highlights of Tasmania’s live music calendar will return to Carrick on the weekend of February 5th-8th next year.
Across the four days, a whopping 180 artists will play across six stages, including some of the biggest names in Australian music.
Away from the music, the festival will also feature comedy, artist talks, live podcasts, meditation and yoga, immersive art, and even a run club.
Announced today, the 2026 lineup is led by festival favourites Ocean Alley, pop icons The Veronicas and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and US duo SOFI TUKKER, who will complete their own Australian tour while in the country.
Ball Park Music will be there, fresh from supporting Oasis on their Australian tour, as will Adam Hyde, pulling double duty as Keli Holiday and one half of Peking Duk.
Heavier music is represented by the likes of RedHook and In Hearts Wake, while the lineup also boasts plenty of up-and-coming acts such as Mia Wray, The Belair Lip Bombs, Gut Health, and Bean Magazine.
