2017

Here's your shot to join Groovin The Moo 2017!

As we are every year, we're on the lookout for ONE artist from each area the festival stops in to chuck on the 2017 lineup.

Past winners include legends like SAFIA, Coda Conduct, and Timberwolf, and we're excited to find even more regional gems in 2017.

To be in the running this year, all you've gotta do is have your best tunes up on the Unearthed website by the time the competition closes at Midnight on February 26th, and make sure your postcode is up-to-date.

Don't freak out if your songs are "pending" on the Unearthed website when the comp closes, either: we listen to e v e r y t h i n g that gets uploaded before we pick a winner.

All the GTM info on their official website.

Good luck!
