Weaving its way into six regions around Australia over three consecutive weekends, Groovin the Moo (GTM) throws open the gates for a huge day of country hospitality, incredible music and seriously fun times.

GTM is about the journey, the destination and the experience. There’s plenty to discover on the way to each Moo. Once there you can indulge in what makes GTM and each region so special – our diverse communities and all they have to offer including craftmakers, friendly faces and fresh farm produce.

These elements seamlessly intertwine with our artists and we’re thrilled to drop 29 stitches of the GTM 2018 tapestry.

There’ll be epic singalongs with Portugal. The Man (USA), face melting rock from powerhouse duo Royal Blood (UK) and heaps of other artists to experience.

Promoter Steve Halpin of Cattleyard said;

“We’re thrilled with how the line up has come together for GTM 2018. It’s a diverse and exciting range of artists with a treat for every musical tastebud. We can’t wait to head around the country with these artists, and we’ve got more to come with our Fresh Produce and Community programs showcasing what’s on offer from each of our beloved regions.”

triple j Unearthed
Like last year and plenty of years before that, triple j are on the lookout for one artist from each GTM region to add to the 2018 lineup. Past winners include legends like SAFIA, Coda Conduct and Timberwolf and we can’t wait to uncover more gems this year. The competition is open now and all you need to do is have your best tunes up on the triple j Unearthed website by midnight on Sunday 25 February. For more info, head here!

There’ll be heaps of news coming via our socials including details of how you can get involved with your nearest GTM like the Shoot the Moo competition (follow the new @shootthemoo insta page) and the return of our beloved Cattle Crew.

IMPORTANT TICKETING INFORMATION 

moshtix is the only official online ticketing outlet. We urge you to double check you are purchasing from moshtix only, and not a third-party ticketing website (such as ViaGoGo, Gumtree, ebay etc). We cannot confirm the legitimacy of any tickets purchased via a third-party ticketing outlet and don’t want to see our genuine GTM fans scammed out of their money.

To save you from any extra stress, ensure you already have a moshtix account (and you know your username and password!) and if not, then don’t forget to sign up for an account in the next few days.

If you are purchasing on behalf of your friends, make sure you have everyone’s full name and date of birth ready to go – double check these! If you need to reissue a ticket for the incorrect spelling or DOB, there is a $6 reissue fee, so make sure it’s correct to start with!
