After seeing several spectacular festivals flop in recent months, it's a relief to know promoters are still willing to lay the big bucks on the line to get good headliners.
Groovin the Moo hits Townsville next Sunday, May 6, with a pretty colourful lineup including City & Colour (Can), Digitalism (Ger), Kaiser Chiefs (UK), Public Enemy (USA), Wavves (USA), The Maccabees (USA), Adrian Lux (Swe), 360, Andrew W.K. (USA), The Getaway Plan, Bluejuice, Parkway Drive, Hilltop Hoods, Kimbra and more.
While tickets haven't yet sold out to the NQ event, there was a pretty healthy indication of locals' willingness to spend up on live music when Pete Murray attracted over 1000 punters into The Venue last weekend.
Tickets to the annual three-day fest (and my personal favourite) Splendour in the Grass officially go on sale tomorrow. With an initial lineup announcement including Jack White (USA), Bloc Party (UK), Smashing Pumpkins (USA), At the Drive In (USA), The Kooks (UK), The Shins (USA), Miike Snow (Swe), Gossip (USA), Dirty Three, Spiderbait, Shihad, Lanie Lane, Wolfmother and Missy Higgins, it looks like the three-day fiesta will give promoters yet another fruitful year.
For more info on either festival, head to the official GTM web site here or visit the Splendour web site here.
