Urthboy Pulls Out Of GTM Bunbury For Birth Of Child

The last Groovin' The Moo date takes place in Bunbury this weekend, but sadly for WA music lovers, rapper Urthboy will not be there.

The MC/entrepreneur, real name Tim Levinson, has had to pull out of the event as his wife is due to give birth. In a statement released by Levinson, he said:

"Over the years I've had the great pleasure of experiencing Bunbury - mostly through the lens of the classic Prince of Wales Hotel. It's a beautiful little port on a stretch of WA coastline that holds countless good memories, whether they be Bussleton, Dunsborough or that sensational little town called Margaret River and Settler's Tavern. Therefore it brings me great displeasure to announce I won't be playing at Groovin' the Moo this Saturday. My wife is having a baby and I'll be by her side. I happily give my life to music but not this time. I'm so sorry to the legends that were looking forward to seeing us, I shall try and make it up to you. Groovin the Moo is one of the best run festivals; with the most relaxed vibe and friendly atmosphere so you're in for a great day. The bands are killer and there's something special about a super-pro regional music festival. I should add, the organisers have been understanding of my predicament and I'm very grateful. I owe them and you, possibly my second child. Thank you for your understanding and apologies for the disappointment." 

Emerging rapper Allday will step up and take the place of Levinson. This will mark his first appearance at Groovin' The Moo.

In other GTM Bunbury news, triple j Unearthed winner Kadyelle has also withdrawn from the show. The Love Junkies, Foam and Anton Franc have all offerred to extend their set times instead.

Groovin' has certainly captured the hearts of festival-goers over the past few weeks. If you missed out on the fun this year, here's our take on the Maitland, Bendigo and Townsville legs.

And for Bunbury, here are those set times incase you're still undecided on who to check out on the day.
