Groovin The Moo Returns May 9 With One-Off Lismore Festival

The scaled format is a cautious step to rebuild the regional festival with government support plus ARIA partnership.

Overview

  • Organisers confirmed a single-day, single-stage, all-ages event at Oakes Oval in Lismore on Saturday, May 9, 2026.
  • The comeback is presented by Great Southern Nights with support from the NSW Government through Destination NSW and in partnership with ARIA.
  • Lineup and ticketing details will be announced in the coming weeks, with pre-sale registration currently available.
  • Groovin The Moo will donate $2 from each ticket to Our Kids as the official charity partner.
  • The move follows the 2024 cancellation citing insufficient ticket sales and a 2025 pause, with organisers calling this a deliberate, sustainable return focused on regional communities.
