Kiyocha at Party in the Paddock 2026 — Tasmania

Party in the Paddock 2026 — Back in the Paddock

We knew we were coming back before we'd even packed down in 2025.

Party in the Paddock returned to Quercus Park for its 13th rotation Scenestr, February 5 to 8, 2026 LiveMusic.com.au. The 2026 edition drew a record 13,000 festivalgoers, including around 3,000 from interstate pulsetasmania — the biggest Paddock yet. Headliners Ocean Alley, Sofi Tukker, The Veronicas, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor Scenestr led a lineup of over 180 artists across six stages.

Our stall was back on the grounds for all four days. The Alternative Dairy Co returned as our milk sponsor — oat, almond, and soy again — and we poured every combination of matcha drink you could ask for across a four-day summer festival in Tasmania.

The crowd in 2026 was noticeably bigger and the energy matched it. More people knew what they wanted before they reached the counter. More people came back for a second cup. A few came back every day. That's the kind of thing that tells you something is working.

Beyond the music, the festival featured art installations, comedy, yoga, and pop-up markets showcasing Tasmanian produce LiveMusic.com.au — and Kiyocha matcha alongside them. We felt at home in that company.

Two years in. The Paddock is part of what we do now.
