From humble origins of a few-hundred-people-party, local bands and a hay bale stage, to evolving into Tasmania’s largest multi-day camping festival – Get ready to experience one of Tassie’s biggest lineups in history, because Party In The Paddock (PITP) has just revealed its list for 2025! Taking place at Quercus Park on tilapangka/Liffey River, in Lutruwita/Tasmania, on Palawa/Tasmanian Aboriginal country – from February 6th to 9th, 2025, this year’s festival promises to be an unmissable weekend of music, fun, and memories.
The iconic Empire Of The Sun, the ethereal AURORA and ‘SECRET HEADLINER’ lead the festival as headliners, two of these artists known for their unique ability to transport audiences to otherworldly realms with their music. With their unbelievable stage presence and synth-driven anthems, Empire Of The Sun will undoubtedly take the crowd on a visual and sonic journey, blending surrealist visuals with timeless hits like “Walking on a Dream” and “We Are the People.” Their futuristic, dream-like performances are legendary, and PITP is the perfect stage for their grand return to Australia. On the other hand, AURORA, the Norwegian indie-pop sensation, is set to enchant audiences with her hauntingly beautiful voice and ethereal stage presence. Known for her deep emotional connection to her music and performances, AURORA’s ethereal soundscapes and evocative lyrics, heard in songs like “Runaway” and “Cure For Me,” will create an intimate yet powerful atmosphere, leaving festival-goers spellbound.
It’s not the first time PITP has rocked the ‘SECRET HEADLINER’ or ‘SECRET ACT’, curating mass hype around these special sets is all a part of the foreplay in the great rollout of the PITP ‘25 campaign! But what can we expect here? Let’s look back at 2023 when the festival first pulled the stunt with a joint reveal of VENGABOYS and the DMA’S and then again last year where PITP kept the ‘secret’ right up until the act walked out on stage – when THE VERONICAS stole the show! Any hints for this year..? Hmmm, we’ll see!!
Joining the team is the explosive energy of Amyl & The Sniffers, whose raw, high-octane punk-rock performances have earned them a reputation as one of Australia’s most electrifying live acts. Fronted by the fierce and unstoppable Amy Taylor, the band will bring a no-holds-barred attitude to the stage, blending raucous riffs and unrelenting energy to ignite the crowd. Their set promises to be a cathartic release, full of head-banging, moshing, and an unapologetic celebration of punk rock at its finest, ensuring this will be a festival to remember.
The lineup also features a blend of pop and indie gems, with Role Model, the USA’s rising pop sensation known for his honest, heartfelt lyrics and catchy melodies, and Angie McMahon, Australia’s indie rock darling, whose soulful voice and introspective songwriting will captivate listeners. Fellow American Still Woozy, with his dreamy, genre-blending style, will bring smooth, laid-back vibes. At the same time, Thelma Plum, one of Australia’s most beloved singer-songwriters, will offer up her rich blend of indie-folk and pop with songs that delve into love, identity, and resilience.
King Stingray, the Yolŋu surf-rock band whose fusion of traditional Indigenous music and contemporary rock will offer their distinguished raw and powerful sound. Slowly Slowly will deliver their brand of heartfelt punk, and rapper Allday will bring his genre-defying mix of hip-hop, pop, and indie influences to the stage.
The festival’s diverse lineup doesn’t stop there. With the USA’s Medium Build indie-country-pop-heart-on-

Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
