Groovin the Moo’s 2020 tour scheduled for this coming April and May will unfortunately not be going ahead as planned.

This is the first time since the inaugural Groovin the Moo was held in Gloucester (NSW) in 2005 that we’re unable to bring the festival to our beloved regions across the country. The Government’s recommendations together with the uncertainty of these times makes it impossible for us to push forward with GTM this year.

A huge thank you to all of our patrons, artists, team, crew, suppliers, stakeholders, local businesses and communities for all their continued work, effort and love that makes GTM so special.

 

Your current tickets are automatically valid for Groovin the Moo 2021, and you do not need to take any further action if you are able to attend the event 🎉💃 Just remember to keep your tickets safe, especially if they’re a hard ticket as these aren’t replaceable.

 

Thanks so much for everyone’s continued support, we’d love to invite you all back to join us in 2021. We’re already looking forward to it!

Groovin the Moo’s 2020 tour scheduled for this coming April and May will unfortunately not be going ahead as planned.  A huge thank you to all of our patrons, artists, team, crew, suppliers, stakeholders, local businesses and communities for all their continued work, effort and love that makes GTM so special.

This is the first time since the inaugural Groovin the Moo was held in Gloucester (NSW) in 2005 that we’re unable to bring the festival to our beloved regions across the country. The Government’s recommendations together with the uncertainty of these times makes it impossible for us to push forward with GTM this year.

Unfortunately, GTM is unable to reschedule the 2020 events due to the uncertainty surrounding how long the ban will be in place for, along with the logistics involved with coordinating six venues across six states and territories to align with each other, and the schedules of both our National and International Artists.

Promoters Steve Halpin and Rod Little said “There is nothing that we love more than seeing our Moo Crew in each of our regions and we are deeply saddened that this won’t be happening this year. Our sincere thanks to everyone who has been involved in GTM this year and in years past. We’re aware that this is impacting many people around the world and we encourage you to look after each other.”

Tickets
If you’ve already bought your ticket you have two options – hold onto your ticket for GTM 2021 OR receive a complete refund. We’ll be back very soon to confirm the date and time that our Moo Crew will be able to take up these options.

If you choose to refund your ticket, once you’re able to do so, can we suggest you use your funds to support a business that has been affected by bushfires or is likely to struggle with dwindling patronage in coming weeks. Eat a nice meal, stay in a caravan park, hire a canoe, buy a souvenir fridge magnet – these communities are struggling and will be grateful for whatever help they can get. We also encourage you to support the music industry by buying some band merch, or seeing how you can help through organisations like I Lost My Gig and Support Act.

If you’re keen to join us next year, below are the dates for your diary. We’re already looking forward to seeing you.

We sincerely thank all our patrons, artists, suppliers, team, crew and communities over the years for your continued support of GTM and we will see you next year.

At GTM, we believe in opportunities, especially for the best upcoming MOO-sos in each of our six regions. We had been hosting homegrown talent since Groovin the Moo began in Gloucester with Dirty Pink Jeans, Supersonic and the Retro Rockets. Inviting the local MOO-sos to be part of the show was such a highlight, we decided to officially create a program called ‘Fresh Produce’ in 2017 – it symbolised the tasty sample of some of the newest and most remarcowble artists from around the country that were rising up from our paddocks and beyond.

One of our favourite things is having musicians / artists / MOO-sos from our herd of our Fresh Produce artists graduate to the national touring line up including, Mallrat, Gang of Youths, L-Fresh the Lion, Tkay Maidza, Wafia, San Cisco, and more!

Our Fresh Produce artists have the opportunity to show their region what they’ve got!
In Bendigo we’ve had legends Alex Lahey, Didirri and Kira Puru. Bunbury has been represented by the likes of Arno Faraji and San Cisco. The Nation’s Cowlital hosted Manu Crooks, Nicole Millar and Haiku Hands at GTM Canberra. Dean Lewis, Gang of Youths and Wafia made their GTM debut in Maitland. It would seem Oakbank brought out the best of Aussie rap with Tkay Maidza and A.B Original. Aussie’s sweetheart, Mallrat and rapper Carmouflage Rose once warmed up the stages in sunny Townsville. Trap prodigy, Godlands got Wayville pumping along with other DJ lords Tigerilla and Strict Face.

In 2019 we added over 110 of the freshest artists to the pen and welcomed “Handpicked” to our local stages. For the inaugural ‘handpicked’, we asked some of our favourite artists from previous years to come back and present a handful of their favourite local artists. In each of their respective regions Elsy Wameyo, Dobby, Birdz, DRMGNOW, Creamy Spies, Imbi the Girl, Feels, KG, Citizen Kay, UV boi  فوق بنفسجي, Arno Farji and Nelson Mondlane introduced us and our Moo Crew to a group of seriously talented artists who voices need to be heard.

We are udderly thrilled to host such a diverse group of emerging talent that represent the varied communities within Australian music. Think of it as GTM’s way of hinting at some of Australia’s next future stars.🌟
