Last week, Groovin The Moo unleashed the lineup for their 2018 round of festivals, and as expected, it’s an absolute corker. But now, just in case you aren’t able to make your way to some of the dates on this regional tour, two of the fest’s international acts have just done us a solid and announced some sideshows for their upcoming Aussie visit.
Back for its 14th year, Groovin The Moo is undoubtedly set to prove itself as one of Australia’s favourite touring festivals once again.
With huge local names on the bill including Paul Kelly, Alex Lahey, Grinspoon, Baker Boy, Ball Park Music, Tkay Maidza, and Vera Blue, music fans are set to party with some of the finest Aussie musos around. Of course, plenty of international acts join the fest as well, including Claptone, Royal Blood, Duke Dumont, and Portugal. The Man.
Now, two of Groovin The Moo’s most exciting international visitors are set to perform a a series of sideshows while in the country.
First cab off the rank is Portland’s Aminé, who has been turning heads in the world of alternative hip-hop for a few years now. With one EP, two mixtapes, and a debut album, Good For You, to his name, Aminé is set to absolutely crush his debut Aussie shows, so be sure to check out this invigorating artist when he hits up Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth this May.
But the good news doesn’t stop there, because England’s dynamic Lady Leshurr has announced she’s showing off her hard-hitting, prolific grime sound to audiences in Brisbane, Sydney, and Perth.
Having released nine mixtapes in as many years, and with countless singles and feature appearances, Lady Leshurr has become one of the most well-known names in the world of UK grime, all without releasing a studio album. Needless to say, Lady Leshurr’s upcoming shows are set to be some of the most talked-about this year.
