Update February 14 2024: Groovin' the Moo has cancelled its 2004 tour, just two months before the scheduled start of the tour in South Australia. The GTM team said ticket sales have been insufficient to "deliver a regional festival of this kind". If you already have a ticket, you'll be refunded automatically.
Got the mooves like Jagger? Well, it’s time to start rounding up the crew and planning your road trip to Bendigo this April for Groovin’ the Moo.
The roaming festival will transform Bendigo’s Prince of Wales Showground into a music-lover’s wonderland on Saturday, April 27. The line-up has dropped, and it's jam-packed with international stars as well as Aussie faves.
Music royalty Melanie C (Sporty Spice herself) will also be taking to the stage, along with GZA from Wu-Tang and Alison Wonderland, who hasn’t played to an Australian audience for five years. UK indie-rockers The Kooks and electronic producer Mura Masa are joining GTM stalwarts like DMA’s, Hot Dub Time Machine, The Jungle Giants, Mallrat and San Cisco. Other line-up inclusions are Kenya Grace, Stephen Sanchez, Claire Rosinkranz, Jessie Reyez, Armani White, Meduza and The Beaches.
So, whether you’re planning a road trip down the Calder Freeway, or you decide to take advantage of the new(ish) V-Line regional fare cap, either way you’ll be rolling into town in around two short hours.
GTM’s national tour will kick off in South Australia on Thursday, April 25, with a stop in Canberra before the Bendigo show. The festival will then head to a new NSW location in Newcastle, followed by dates on the Sunshine Coast and in Western Australia. Keep up to date on all the details at the website.
