Headline Acts At Groovin The Moo
Denzel Curry headlines with his signature fierce hip-hop genius, returning after dominating Australia’s regional stages in 2023. Meanwhile, Baker Boy unleashes tracks from his bold 2025 sophomore album DJANDJAY, a raw fusion of Yolŋu culture and global beats that hit ARIA charts hard.
Tones and I delivers her arena-tested uplift, fresh off collabs with David Guetta and Teddy Swims, while Dope Lemon‘s hazy grooves from GOLDEN WOLF set a hypnotic vibe.

Newcastle teen Maple’s Pet Dinosaur rides viral TikTok hits like ‘LEGO’, and ARIA-sweeping Ninajirachi brings EDM heat from her 2025 debut I LOVE MY COMPUTER (along with opening for Tame Impala at his Aussie shows).
Rock mayhem erupts via The Chats and The Terrys, with locals Angel White and The Colliflowers adding homegrown heart.
Finally, Kath Ebbs kicks up dust with her queer line-dancing extravaganza Cowboy Country, perfect for boot-scooters in the crowd. Music fans vie for the Planet Music Homegrown Hero slot, submitting tracks for a shot at the stage.
