Groovin The Moo Announce Each Festival's Local Line-Up

Always big on fostering a comMOOnity spirit at their festivals, today Groovin The Moo have announced the promising local acts slated in for each of the touring festival's six regional dates.

With a merch design competition already at play, as well as opportunities for students and the disadvantaged to get themselves involved at the large-scale festivals, organisers have their finger on the pulse when it comes to emerging acts and it allows punters to get behind some of Australia's most up-and-coming acts before they blow up.

In Maitland on 23 April, triple j Unearthed winners and pop punk five-piece Eat Your Heart Out, along with emcee L-FRESH The LION, dance pop outfit The Lulu Raes and angel-voiced Wafia have all been slated in. Joining them will be World Champion, Bad Decisions, Human Movement, Jaytee Hazard, Kinder, LUEN and Frikstailers.
