Groovin The Moo is an annual music festival that is held in six regional centres across Australia. The festival is held during autumn, typically in May of each year.

Groovin The Moo was established by Cattleyard Promotions and their first festival was held on Sunday April 24th, 2005 in Gloucester, New South Wales.

History

The first incarnation of the festival occurred on 24 April 2005 at the Gloucester Showgrounds in New South Wales with crowds of over 1400, continuing to Narrandera (NSW Riverina) with crowds exceeding 1800. The following year the festival took place in Maitland, Albury and Darwin.

2007 was a break-through year for the festival, with headlining Australian act Silverchair and successful international act The Black Keys headlining, along with the largely popular Hilltop Hoods, John Butler Trio and You Am I. In 2008 Townsville was added to the tour's circuit, with Bendigo being added the following year.

2010 saw the inclusion of Bunbury and Canberra, with all shows selling out across the country.

In 2014, an Oakbank show was added to the tour and went on to sell out.

The Narrandera show was also known by some sources as "Groovin' The Moo 2".
