Groovin’
the Moo (GTM) loves this time of year! With fond memories of GTM 2012 still
fresh in mind, from Maitland to Canberra, Bendigo to Townsville and Bunbury,
new music is pumping through the offices, bands are being booked, artwork is
being crafted, event site planning is underway and the team is coming back into
the GTM fold.
And
while all the good news can’t be shared just yet, GTM can hatch a handful of
the plans in store for 2013 around Australia’s regional centres and the centre
of the ACT region.
Signalling a return to its
roots, Maitland Showground NSW on Saturday 27 April hosts the first event on
the 2013 tour, followed by University of Canberra ACT on Sunday 28 April. Then
it’s off to Bendigo’s Prince of Wales Showground VIC on Saturday 4 May,
Townsville’s Murray Sports Complex QLD on Sunday 5 May and last but certainly
not least, Bunbury’s Hay Park WA on Saturday 11 May 2013.
To experience this trademark
fun and value-packed day complete with a twist of country hospitality, Groovin’
the Moo is pleased to announce tickets will be on-sale from Tuesday 5 February
and Wednesday 6 February 2013 for $99.90 + bf with the 2013 Artist Line-up
coming to life on Wednesday 30 January. Be first to get all the news and
festival updates, by signing up for the Moos Flash at www.gtm.net.au.
Sign up by 5.00pm, 31 December 2012 and by the time the New Year ticks over you
could have won tickets for you and two friends to your local GTM, a merch pack
and a poster signed by artists from the 2013 line-up.
"....Groovin’
the Moo was a great success that packed a hell of a punch for its price tag…
the efficiently run venue and friendly crowd is what sealed the day’s success.
The festival was an udder triumph and hopefully it doesn’t moove on anytime
soon” - Faster Louder
In the meantime, GTM is inviting all local artists, graphic designers,
students, professionals and amateurs to submit work for the annual cotton and
ink muster – GTM TEE. In 2013 GTM is asking participants to respond to the
theme “Homegrown” for a single sided t-shirt graphic. Whether you graze in the
grass or pound the pavement GTM wants you to share the informal, local,
homespun, warm, old-school, daggy and wonderful world of your homeland – it
could take in sustainability, agriculture, sport, nostalgia, local history or
celebrities.
Along with a swag bag full of prizes for a major winner, a runner up
from each state, the mini moo for the young people and the people’s choice
award - the lucky major prize winner will have their artwork etched in GTM
“merch-lore” for the 2013 events. Entries for GTM TEE open 28 January 2013, for
further information and to get your creative juices flowing visit the Competitions
page at www.gtm.net.au.
