Hilltop Hoods, Gang Of Youths, Ninajirachi and The Jungle Giants will headline Party In The Paddock in 2027, with organisers promising their “biggest and boldest lineup yet”.
The festival returns to Quercus Park, around 15 minutes from Launceston, from February 4-7 for its 14th edition.
The Jungle Giants will open the festival on the Thursday night. Gang Of Youths, Ninajirachi and Hilltop Hoods will close the Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
Hilltop Hoods’ ninth album, Fall From The Light, became the Adelaide trio’s seventh ARIA number one, a record for an Australian group.
Violent Soho will also perform, returning to the stage after a four-year break. G Flip, Missy Higgins, Lime Cordiale, Holly Humberstone (UK), Don West, Balu Brigada (NZ) and Lambrini Girls (UK) complete the top of the bill.
More than 20 Tasmanian acts are among the dozens of artists announced, with a triple j Unearthed act and a special guest still to be named.
Alongside the music, the program across six stages and spaces includes art, comedy, artist interviews, live podcasts, drag and cabaret, markets and wellness activities.
The announcement follows a record crowd of 14,000 at this year’s festival in February, up 1,000 on the previous year.
At the time, festival director Ryan Limb said organisers had “already started planning for 2027”.
“So it’s looking like we’ll just keep on growing,” he said.
The state government committed $1.5 million at the state election to support the 2026 and 2027 festivals, along with $500,000 for safety upgrades at Quercus Park.
“While festivals across the country are struggling, Party in the Paddock continues to grow,” Premier Jeremy Rockliff said in February.
Pre-sale registration closes at 5pm today, with pre-sale tickets going live at 8am on October 23. General sale opens at 8am on October 28.
