Groovin The Moo has returned with another epic mix of bands for 2015’s line-up.
Rock fans can raise their devil horns to stadium rockers Wolfmother and The Delta Riggs and mosh to heavier bands like Sydney metalcore group Northlane and British pop-hardcore group You Me At Six.
Hip hop fans will be giddy at the news of A$AP Ferg’s imminent arrival, along with Aussie crews Hilltop Hoods, Hermitude and supergroup One Day.
Rising rap star Tkay Maidza is also on the bill.
One of the main attractions of Groovin this year will be New Zealand synth duo Broods, whose songs Bridges and Mother & Father have seen them skyrocket in popularity.
Meg Mac, whose cover of Bridges was voted into this week’s Hottest 100 poll, is also on the Groovin bill.
When Broods were invited to announce the Groovin the Moo line-up on Triple J on Wednesday morning, the duo said Meg Mac would be welcome to join them on stage to perform the track.
A surprise inclusion for Groovin this year is genre-bending, envelope-pushing Canadian electro-punk rocker Peaches who will no doubt shock younger audience members with her always provocative stage antics.
Groovin’s dance tent will be jumping to the sounds of Carmada, Flight Facilities and Hot Dub Time Machine.
Also on the line-up is British pop singer-songwriter Charli XCX who co-wrote Icona Pop’s hit song I Love It and appears on the monster single Fancy with Iggy Azalea.
Aussie bands San Cisco, Ball Park Music, The Preatures, DMA’s, Saskwatch and Sticky Fingers are also on the bill.
Another notable inclusion is British rock band Peace, who are sure to find new fans when they join the Groovin tour.
Groovin the Moo is at Maitland Showground on Saturday, May 9.
The festival is on sale Wednesday, February 4 at 9am through Moshtix.
