Groovin’ the Moo (GTM) 2010 was a great success, hosting 75,000 fabulous music lovers nationally and touring a nothing-short-of-amazing line up that featured the likes of Vampire Weekend, Silverchair, Spoon, Tegan and Sara and Empire Of The Sun across four states and one territory. After a well-earned break, the GTM team is revving up to charge back into regional Australia and the Nation’s Capital!
In 2011 GTM will again hit the road for five fantastic shows (Bendigo VIC, Townsville QLD, Maitland NSW, Canberra ACT and Bunbury WA) each with an energy and atmosphere that can only be created with the combination of an exciting range of music, fresh country air and a fully charged enthusiastic crowd from major cities, regional centres and small country towns.
After a sell out show in 2010, GTM is excited to be making a return trip to The Meadows in Canberra as part of the 2011 tour! GTM is truly grateful for the warm welcome we received for the inaugural show and we are committed to making 2011 an even better experience for everyone. With improved and expanded facilities to match another impressive music program that will provide over ten hours of music and feature close to 25 local, national and international artists, GTM will once again be a value-packed day with a twist of country hospitality thrown in.
‘We were really happy with our first Canberra GTM. Perfect weather, awesome lineup and a 15 000 person sell-out! We are working on a few improvements including making better use of the slope to ensure more people can hang out up there. The lineup is coming together really nicely, including twice the number of International artists that we had in 2010 and will be as awesome as always. Can’t wait for the 8th of May!’ said Stephen Halpin, GTM Promoter, Cattleyard Promotions.
A licensed all ages (recommended 15+) event, GTM has become a fixture on the Australian music event calendar. It is unique as it’s the only single day touring music event to cater to the youth market in regional areas. GTM features the impressive double outdoor stages as well as the huge Moolin Rouge circus big top. The tastes and needs of all punters will be catered for with an abundance of local food and market stalls along with licensed bar facilities, slingshot rides and chill out areas.
