Bright Brewery is turning up the volume this Spring with the all-new “In The Paddock”, a high-energy evolution of its much-loved Picnic in the Paddock series.  

On Saturday, 20th September, locals and visitors alike are invited to Bright Brewery’s Paddock for a vibrant evening of live music, food, drinks, and springtime celebration under the alpine stars. 

Previously a relaxed afternoon picnic event, the reimagined In The Paddock now takes on a fresh, upbeat twist. With an exciting 5:00pm to 10:30pm evening format and a focus on live music, the 2025 edition is all about shaking off the winter chill and dancing into Spring. 

Headlining the event is Sydney’s rising star, Rageflower, bringing an electric alt-pop live set to the alpine stage.  

RAGEFLOWER is the project of Gadigal/Sydney-based singer/songwriter Madeleine Powers, blending hard-hitting indie rock with ethereal, melancholic textures to create raw and immersive soundscapes. Named one of Thomas Bleach’s Top 5 Unsigned Artists to Watch and featured in The Buoys’ Top 10 for Triple J’s Hottest Seat, she’s set to release a debut EP in August that explores the duality of pleasure and pain, softness and strength. In the Paddock is stoked to be featuring Rageflower hot off the release of her debut EP.  

Supporting the night’s energy is exciting Melbourne duo Loose Tooth who’ll be delivering delightful harmonies, colour pointed lyricism, and synthy interludes giving way to soaring grunge guitar moments to get us all moving on the dance floor. To cap of this stellar line up, loved local, the one and only DJ Saucy Soph, is spinning feel-good beats across the evening! 

“We’re so excited to bring this new energy to our refreshed Paddock. It’s everything we love about live music, great food and drink, and our gorgeous alpine setting – but with a fresh spring twist,” Lydia Divine the Event Coordinator at the Bright Brewery

Alongside the music, guests can enjoy a ‘Spitz and Spritz’ garden area with a mouthwatering spit-roast cooked over the coals by Bright Brewery Chef Jarrod Smith, paired with a curated selection of spring-inspired drinks from the Paddock Bar. There’ll be door prizes and other local food on offer!
