After Groovin The Moo teased international superstar Eliza Rose and local legends Skegss in a social media clip yesterday, the regional travelling festival has announced its 2023 line-up, and it's huge.
The 2023 line-up has something for everyone, from crowd favourites Skepta and Denzel Curry to Fatboy Slim. The triple j Hottest 100 was loaded up in the front end with Groovin The Moo artists, including Eliza Rose, who took out the number 2 spot with B.O.T.A (Baddest Of Them All), Ball Park Music (#8 Stars In My Eyes), Skegss (#19 Stranger Days), LUUDE (#28 Big City Life), Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers (#55 Girl Sports) with Teenage Dads and plenty of other festival artists taking spots across the countdown.
Up-and-comers Royel Otis will join Groovin The Moo alumni Ocean Alley and Amy Shark. BARKAA and Choomba will bring the grooves; Confidence Man are bringing the party, Teenage Joans are bringing the rock; The Chats are coming armed with some good fun and you can get your emo fix with Slowly Slowly.
The UK's Sophie May and Laurel join indie-rock royalty alt-J. Canada’s BBNO$ accompanies fellow rapper Denzel Curry (USA) along with LA-based singer-songwriters Omar Apollo and Slayyyter.
Groovin The Moo is returning this April and May, hitting six regions across the country with its first full tour since 2019.
After heading to Maitland, Canberra and Bendigo last year, Groovin The Moo will add SA, WA and Queensland back to its schedule.
