However, there will be one big change this year, with the festie visiting Queensland’s Sunshine Coast instead of its usual Townsville.
Promoters blamed “logistical challenges” and “increased financial pressures” for the move.
“We are so happy to be able to do a full tour across the country in 2023,” GTM’s Steve Halpin said in a press statement.
“We have missed you terribly and can’t wait to bring back the good times around the country. Whilst we are very sad not be returning to Townsville, we look forward to bringing GTM to the Sunshine Coast.”
Last year, Groovin returned for the first time since COVID, heading to only three cities – Maitland, Canberra and Bendigo.
The lineup included international acts Wolf Alice, BROODS, Thomas Headon, Snakehips, Milky Chance, Riton and Chaii, as well as local acts Hilltop Hoods, Middle Kids, Peking Duk, Alice Ivy, Hockey Dad, Jesswar, JK-47, Polaris and many more.
