After staging three events in 2022, 2023 marks the full return of regional festival series Groovin The Moo (GTM).
Back on the calendar will be festival stops in Adelaide and Bunbury plus new region Sunshine Coast, joining Maitland, Canberra and Bendigo."Here at GTM, we've got some very good moos to share," beams event organisers. "It's so good that we want to shout it from the very top of the top paddock. We are absolutely thrilled to be heading to six states and territories around Australia in April and May 2023.
"Last year, we were so udderly thankful to be able to bring GTM to Maitland, Canberra and Bendigo. We have not been able to bring the Moo to SA, Queensland and WA since 2019, but that's all about to change.
"In 2023, we cannot wait to welcome first-timers and reconnect with familiar faces to GTM across the country."
The switch of Queensland venues has been somewhat forced on event organisers: "We have loved calling Townsville our Queensland home over the years, but post-pandemic touring life is harder. The logistical challenges and increased financial pressures are too great and unfortunately we are not able to return to the top end in 2023."
Fun facts: Sunshine Coast was formerly named Near North Coast (until 1966); while Sunshine Coast has the most yoga, meditation, juice cleanse bars and organic stores than any other region per capita.
"We are so happy to be able to do a full tour across the country in 2023," GTM's Steve Halpin says.
"We have missed you terribly and can't wait to bring back the good times around the country. Whilst we are very sad not be returning to Townsville, we look forward to bringing GTM to the Sunshine Coast."
Stay tuned for all the line-up details coming soon.
