Music lovers were treated to a rare rural opportunity to see
their favourite bands at the 2013 Groovin the Moo music festival.
Musical guests included The Amity Affliction, The Temper
Trap, and Tegan & Sara. Several local bands also performed at the event,
such as Townsville’s Finding Luna.

Along with musical acts, festival goers were able to attend
meet and greets with band members. The chance to snag a signature or two was
the icing on the cake for many music lovers attending the event. Kim Schifino,
of musical act Matt & Kim, even took the time to tell one festival goer
that she found Townsville weather to be pleasant and the people even more
so.
Groovin the Moo also helped to create many jobs for the
weekend, with many hotels and restaurants struggling to keep up with demand. Lucy
Alfred, a local hotel employee, said, “It’s good to see the hospitality
industry in Townsville so busy.”
As the festival continues to grow in popularity, so do the
number of international acts, with speculation already beginning as to who will
be making an appearance in Townsville for Groovin the Moo 2014. No matter whom
the musical acts are, however, locals such as Alisha Newnham continue to say
that they will definitely be attending next year.
