Groovin The Moo forced to cancel 2024 regional tour

Organisers have been forced to ditch Groovin the Moo's 2024 tour because of insufficient ticket sales. 

The music festival's team expressed their disappointment and thanked people for their support.

"Ticket sales have not been sufficient to deliver a regional festival of this kind," they said in a statement on Wednesday.

"All tickets will be refunded automatically.

"We hope to be able to bring Groovin the Moo back to regional communities in the future."

This is the second time the festival has cancelled its dates in its 19-year history, being paused in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The festival was set to tour Bendigo, Wayville, Canberra, Bunbury, Newcastle and the Sunshine Coast from April to mid-May.

The 2024 line-up was announced in January, featuring both local talent such as Jet, The Jungle Giants and DMA's, and international acts including Mura Masa, Kenya Grace and Armani White. 

Groovin The Moo is the latest Australian event to fall victim to cost-related issues, joining a growing wave of festival cancellations including Falls, Coastal Jam, and Dark Mofo.
