But after the <a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/news\/breaking-groovin-the-moo-2024-cancelled\/\">2024 cancellation<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/news\/groovin-the-moo-confirms-it-will-not-return-in-2025\/\"> no return in 2025<\/a>, the future of the festival looked shaky. Now, it\u2019s back, albeit deliberately smaller, more focused, and designed to grow sustainably from the ground up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2026 edition will run from 11am to 10pm at Oakes Oval in Lismore (Widjabul\/Wia-bal Country) as an all-ages, single-stage event. Organisers say starting with one show allows them to rebuild carefully while staying true to GTM\u2019s regional heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is about bringing Groovin The Moo back in a way that honours what it has always stood for,\u201d Fuzzy CEO Adelle Robinson said in a press statement. \u201cThe festival belongs to regional Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The comeback is being presented by Great Southern Nights, with support from the NSW Government, Destination NSW and ARIA &#8211; backing organisers say was essential to making the return possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lismore was chosen not only for its strong creative identity but also to support a region that\u2019s faced major challenges in recent years. The event is intended to deliver both a major cultural moment and a tangible boost for the local economy. GTM will also partner with Our Kids as official charity, donating $2 from every ticket sold to help families access local medical care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lineup and ticket details are still to come, but anticipation is already high &#8211; especially after the festival last ran in full touring form in 2023 before industry pressures forced a rethink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, Groovin The Moo isn\u2019t gone, it\u2019s rebuilding. And regional Australia is, as always, front and centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-groovin-the-moo-2026\">Groovin The Moo 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul
