Groovin The Moo is officially back, and its Lismore 2026 lineup is stacked from top to bottom.
Set to take over Oakes Oval on Widjabul/Wia-bal Country on May 9th, 2026 the beloved regional festival returns as a special one off event, presented by Great Southern Nights with support from the NSW Government through Destination NSW and in partnership with ARIA.
This isn’t a cautious comeback, it’s a swing for the fences bill.

Leading the charge is Baker Boy, stepping into a bold new chapter off the back of his 2025 album DJANDJAY, few performers command a stage like he does right now, and Groovin The Moo feels like the right arena for it.
US heavyweight Denzel Curry also locks in a long awaited return, anyone who caught his 2023 regional headline run knows he doesn’t do half energy sets.
Dope Lemon, fresh from GOLDEN WOLF, brings the late night haze, while Northern Rivers favourite Matt Corby arrives with new album TRAGIC MAGIC on deck for March 2026.
From the heavier side of the paddock, The Chats and The Terrys inject raw, beer-soaked rock into the mix. Breakout teen Maple’s Pet Dinosaur continues a rapid ascent after viral cuts like ‘LEGO’, and Central Coast producer Ninajirachi adds high-gloss electronic heat following her ARIA-dominating run with I LOVE MY COMPUTER.
Tones And I rounds out the upper tier, bringing arena tested confidence back to home soil.
Local Spotlight And Community Focus
Groovin The Moo hasn’t forgotten its roots, Lismore’s own The Colliflowers join the bill, alongside 17 year old Murwillumbah artist Angel White. There’s also a dedicated Homegrown Hero Slot, run in partnership with Planet Music, giving emerging local acts a real shot at the stage.
Add in Kath Ebbs Presents Cowboy Country, and yes, there will be line dancing.
Groovin The Moo Lismore runs from 11am to 10pm and is all ages.
