Baker BoyLast week, it was announced that after two years without festivals, Groovin The Moo would return in 2026—but not as a travelling event.
Groovin The Moo returns this year as a one-off event held at Oakes Oval in Lismore, NSW, on Saturday, 9 May. And today, the all-star line-up has been revealed.
American rapper Denzel Curry returns to the Groovin stage after headlining the festival in 2023, where he’ll be joined by homegrown talents including Baker Boy, Dope Lemon, Ninajirachi, Matt Corby, Tones And I, and Maple’s Pet Dinosaur.
Plus, Groovin The Moo 2026 will be home to bands including The Chats, The Terrys, and local Lismore act The Colliflowers. You can check out the complete line-up below.
In addition to announcing the line-up, festival organisers have teamed up with local music retailer Planet Music to launch the Planet Music Homegrown Hero competition.

Upon announcing the festival’s long-awaited return last week, Fuzzy CEO Adelle Robinson said that bringing back Groovin The Moo is about honouring “what it has always stood for.”
Robinson continued, “The festival belongs to regional Australia. Returning with a one-off show allows us to focus on doing it with the care and responsibility it deserves while the festival industry continues to navigate rising costs and increased pressure.
“We are so thrilled to come to Lismore, a place that reflects the spirit and resilience of the communities that Groovin The Moo has supported from the beginning. We thank Great Southern Nights, the NSW Government, Destination NSW and ARIA for their support. Without that support, this return of GTM would not be possible.”
