Groovin' the Moo

Festivals venues

2005

Notes

• The Narrandera show was also known by some sources as "Groovin the Moo 2". While www.GTM.net.au still references the Narrandera show as taking place under the "ABOUT GTM" section, it is not referenced under the "PAST LINEUPS" section bringing into question the official status of this show today.^[3][4]

2006

Notes

• "Gomez", from the United Kingdom, is credited as the first international act to appear at Groovin' The Moo on www.GTM.net.au. However "Local Knowledge", from New Zealand, played twice before "Gomez" first appearance, once in 2005 & once in 2006.
