The media release says, ‘BAKER BOY proudly stepped into a new creative era with the release of his sophomore album DJANDJAY in 2025 – a powerful fusion of culture, nuance and unbridled pride in his art and self. The charismatic performer is one of Australia’s most commanding and with DJANDJAY propelling Baker Boy forward, Australian music fans get to see one of our best rappers excelling in a new, bold spotlight.
‘Fierce hip hop multi-talent DENZEL CURRY makes his long awaited return to Australia for Groovin The Moo, having headlined the regional tour in 2023. A wildly entertaining performer with a range of influences that speak to a love of music that varies from hip hop to jazz; alternative to punk, and more, Curry has pioneered his own lane of excellence that a whole generation of artists have found their own similar identity within.
‘DOPE LEMON brings his tight nocturnal grooves to Lismore, the solo project of ANGUS STONE set to hypnotise and charm at Groovin The Moo in 2026. Touring the world off the back of his 2025 record GOLDEN WOLF, the return of Dope Lemon to Australian fans is one that cannot be missed.
‘For those who love a bit of line dancing or are keen to get involved, Groovin The Moo welcomes KATH EBBS, presenting the popular queer line dancing phenomenon, COWBOY COUNTRY.
‘Breakthrough artist MAPLE’S PET DINOSAUR has become one of Australia’s most exciting new artists to watch. Going viral on TikTok with songs like ‘LEGO’ and ‘CHORUS’, the teenager from Newcastle has blown up in the last year thanks to spots on festival bills alongside TOOL, GARBAGE and more.
‘One of the Northern Rivers’ best, MATT CORBY, joins the GTM lineup fresh off the release of his long-awaited fourth studio album, TRAGIC MAGIC (scheduled to drop in March 2026). ‘Corby’s voice has captivated Australian audiences for many years, his music becoming a staple on the life soundtrack for many Australian music fans. The six time Platinum selling artist brings the soul and seasoning to each record he touches and as a live performer, Corby is one of one.
‘Hailing from the Central Coast, NINAJIRACHI’s ascent in becoming one of the country’s most recognisable names in EDM was marked by the release of her critically acclaimed debut album, I LOVE MY COMPUTER in 2025. Earning the most ARIA nominations of any artist that year (winning three), the record dominated in many fields, nabbing the producer the Australian Music Prize, Australian Album of the Year at the 2025 J Awards, and more.
‘Blistering rock comes through courtesy of Gerringong’s finest, THE TERRYS; Sunshine Coast heroes THE CHATS; firebrand acts who have been leading the charge in creating new waves of chaos on stages around the country and overseas.
‘Another globally renowned and beloved Australian artist, TONES AND I brings her unmistakable sound and relentlessly uplifting live energy to Groovin The Moo this May. Having spent most of the last 18 months touring her BEAUTIFULLY ORDINARY album, performing in arenas and releasing chart climbing hits with the likes of David Guetta and Teddy Swims, Tones is spending the beginning of 2026 pouring back into audiences at home – we can’t wait.
‘Along with Byron Bay-based Corby, local talent from the Northern Rivers region is celebrated on this year’s Groovin The Moo lineup, with Lismore’s homegrown heroes THE COLLIFLOWERS and the talented ANGEL WHITE – a 17 year old Indigenous singer-songwriter currently making waves from her home in Murwillumbah – completing the lineup.
‘Along with the official artist announcement, Groovin The Moo have teamed up with local music retailer PLANET MUSIC to run the PLANET MUSIC HOMEGROWN HERO competition, where local artists are encouraged to enter and submit their music for a chance to perform.
