Party In The Paddock has dropped its 2027 lineup, and Hilltop Hoods get the last night.
The Adelaide trio close Party In The Paddock on 7 February, the last of four nights at Quercus Park on the tilapangka/Liffey River, 15 minutes out of Launceston. They arrive with Fall From The Light, their ninth album and seventh ARIA number one, which gave them the record for the most chart-topping albums by an Australian group. Gang of Youths take the 5 February headline slot, returning to the Paddock with Things Take Time, their first new music in four years.
Ninajirachi has 6 February to herself. Her album I Love My Computer won three ARIA Awards and the 2025 Australian Music Prize, and she has played Coachella and Lollapalooza. Opening night on 4 February belongs to The Jungle Giants, whose Experiencing Feelings of Joy went to number one in May.

Violent Soho are the comeback story. The Mansfield rockers spent four years off stage before Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus tipped off their reunion early, and the east coast theatre run that followed sold out in minutes. Beddy Rays, who supported them on a September tour, are on this bill as well. G Flip and Missy Higgins sit near the top, with Higgins holding seven ARIA number ones and 32 nominations. Lime Cordiale and Hermitude both played the 2020 edition, back when the festival was held in White Hills, and both are back.
Holly Humberstone (UK) is heading over with her 2026 album Cruel World, and Brighton punk duo Lambrini Girls (UK) are making the trip too. Balu Brigada (NZ) bring Portal, a debut that has passed 328 million streams. Dean Turnley’s Actin’ Tough started out in Melbourne’s underground and hit number one on Beatport this year. Playlunch, the Melbourne act behind the self-described bogan funk, took their song Keith to number four in triple j’s Hottest 100, and Ladyhawke brings My Delirium. Warnindhilyagwa singer-songwriter Emily Wurramara, from Groote Eylandt, sings in both English and Anindilyakwa.
More than 20 of the acts are Tasmanian. Hobart’s Middle Palms won a triple j Unearthed competition to open the 2025 festival and are back, while Launceston seven-piece Captain O’Brien’s Craic play Celtic punk about convicts and bushrangers. This is the 14th Party In The Paddock, and the Tasmanian government is backing it through Events Tasmania. Six stages run across the site, including the Bigtop Dance Tent and the Silvertongue Stage, with comedy, live podcasts, drag and cabaret filling the time around the music. A triple j Unearthed act and a special guest are still to be named.
