Groovin The Moo Forced To Remove Three States From 2022 Run

Groovin The Moo has announced it will make its return in 2022 following a two-year break due to COVID, but it’s not all good news.

Organisers have today have confirmed the beloved event will visit Maitland in NSW, Canberra in the ACT and Bendigo in Victoria next April, leaving three other regional towns off the calendar.

At this stage, fans in Wayville (SA), Townsville (QLD) and Bunbury (WA) will be missing out.

“Like any festival, GTM takes many months of planning and at this current stage, taking into account varying state by state regulations, the tour has to look a little different in 2022,” reads a statement from organisers.

“For now, we are thrilled to be able to confidently deliver the festival that you know and love to three of our cherished six regions.”

“The GTM 2022 tour will kick off at its longest-standing home in Maitland NSW on Saturday 23 April. Then, it will hop over to EPIC in Canberra ACT on Sunday 24 April. The following weekend, it’s on to Bendigo VIC on Saturday 30 April.

“The whole tour will be back when we can confidently deliver our full quality show.”

Promoter Steve Halpin of Cattleyard added: “It’s been a long time between Moo’s and we are so genuinely happy to be back on the road to some of our local regions to reconnect with artists, community, suppliers, team and most importantly, with each other! We have missed you all terribly and thank you for your patience.”

It’s expected the line-up will arrive in January.
