UK rockers The Wombats are pleased to announce they are coming back to Australia in 2017 as part of the lineup for this year’s Groovin’ The Moo. The regional festival will visit six locations around Australia throughout April and May. The band has also announced three sideshows to coincide with the 10 year anniversary of their debut album A Guide To Love, Loss & Desperation.

In a statement, The Wombats said “We cannot wait to get back to Australia and play at ‘Groovin’ The Moo’ again. It’s been 6 whole years since we played Groovin’ and have nothing but amazing memories from that trip! We look forward to making some new ones this year and to generally having a massive party with you all!!”

In addition, Groovin’ The Moo and Warner Music Australia are once again offering all aspiring photographers a once in a lifetime opportunity to shoot direct from the photographer’s pit, along with some one-on-one time with a professional photographer and a meet and greet with The Wombats frontman Matthew Murphy, bassist Tord Øverland Knudsen and drummer Dan Haggis, as part of their Shootin’ The Moo competition. Visit the Shootin’ The Moo website for further competition information.

The Wombats will also be appearing for a run of headline sideshows in May, including a special show at the Sydney Opera House, to coincide with the ten year anniversary of their debut record A Guide To Love, Loss & Desperation, which included the cult classic Let’s Dance To Joy Division. The band released this message to fans: “Hey Australia, so we’re playing Groovin’ the Moo this year and we thought whilst we were over it would be rude not to do some sideshows as we’re celebrating 10 years since the release of our 1st album! Our 1st baby is 10, we can’t believe how much he’s grown. We look forward to having a few massive birthday parties for the little blighter. Hope you can make it! – PS New music coming this year!”
