Party In The Paddock will officially return from 4th - 7th February, 2027, marking the beloved Tasmanian festival’s 14th lap around the sun. Fresh off its biggest edition yet, the team confirmed the 2027 dates this week, urging fans to lock in their calendars and rally the group chats for another summer celebration in the paddock. Early sign-ups are now open via the festival mailing list, offering access to exclusive loyalty pre-sale opportunities, merch drops and upcoming announcements.

The 2026 edition delivered one of the event’s most expansive and diverse lineups to date, headlined by Ocean Alley, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, The Veronicas and Sofi Tukker. They were joined by The Temper Trap, Peking Duk, Ball Park Music, Mallrat, Genesis Owusu and Baker Boy, alongside a stacked bill of emerging local talent and DJ sets that kept Vibestown moving well into the night.

Beyond the music, Party In The Paddock continues to evolve its immersive site experience, with organisers already seeking community feedback on the 2026 event. Fans who complete the post-event survey before 6th March go into the draw to win four Vibestown Golden Tickets, reinforcing the festival’s strong connection with its loyal audience and grassroots ethos.

With 4th - 7th February, 2027 now confirmed, Party In The Paddock is poised to once again anchor Australia’s summer festival season. As anticipation builds for its 14th edition, the Tasmanian favourite looks set to build on last year’s momentum with another genre-spanning programme and its signature paddock party atmosphere.
