Moos Flash! After sharing a few clues about this year's Groovin The' Moobill, the full 2016 line-up is here.
The much loved regional music festival that's like no udder has secured a brilliant mix of local and international names for its 12th annual addition.
Going rural in April/May this year will be newly crowned Hottest 100 winners The Rubens, Alison Wonderland, Boy & Bear, SAFIA, and In Hearts Wake.
DZ Deathrays and British India will bring the riffage to the bill, which also features a hip hop triple threat of Illy, Remi, and Drapht, along with maverick songwriters Ngaiire, Emma Louise, and Unearthed superstarsVallis Alps and Boo Seeka.
Making the trip from overseas will be an all-American contingent: rappersDanny Brown and Vic Mensa, returning favourites MS MR, Ratatat, Mutemath, Odesza and Twenty One Pilots.
Update 8.20am: Alison Wonderland rang up Matt and Alex this morning to share her excitement about the line-up, particularly Client Liaison, DZ Deathrays, upcoming US tour buddy Golden Features, and some "really obscure friends:" Danny Brown's DJ/produer Skywlkr and Vic Mensa's bass player.
"I'm so stoked. I actually did Groovin a few years ago and it was one of my favourite tours," she said. "It's so sick, it's really fun. I'm really stoked to be doing it again."
She's returning to a much bigger platform after a previous GTM appearance where she played interstitial DJ sets.
"I was playing side of stage, doing 20 min DJ sets between acts... I was before Flume [and] I think there were technical difficulties so he was a little bit late and for the last five minutes of my show I had 10,000 kids shouting 'we want Flume, we want Flume!'"
"...it was seriously heartbreaking but I smiled and I played and I just got offstage ... But the rest of the tour it was amazing."
Update 8.50am: Matt and Alex also spoke to Lizzy from MS MR, returning to our shores after playing Splendour In the Grass last year.
"I'm so, so excited about this tour and seeing other places in Australia that we've never had the opportunity to go and experience before."
She's also pumped to be touring with fellow New York electro rock duo, Ratatat.
"I'm a huge fan ... [they] went to a school very close to [us]. I've always felt a liberal arts kinship with them but our paths have never actually crossed. I'm ready to be raging alongside to 'Wildcat' and 'Seventeen Years'."
We also caught the singer while she was visiting her bandmate Max in L.A., revealing they were recording some movie music.
"[We're] working on soundtracking a friend's short film, which is a fun new experiment for us; something we've never done but always wanted to."
She couldn't give too much away but teased "it is a little creepy ... it's bit of a sci-fi piece with a French director."
Along with the main GTM line-up, the event will be 'marshalled' by hip hop rascals The Meeting Tree and our very own Alex Dyson as a studio host alongside Danny Clayton.
Don't forget, we'll be adding the triple j Unearthed winners in the lead-up to GTM 2016, which will add more local and emerging talent to each stop in the coming months.
Groovin The Moo will once again make tracks in winter, hitting six regional towns and taking in two public holidays along the way.
Maitland is up first, followed by events in Canberra, Oakbank (on the ANZAC Day holiday), and Bendigo in late April. Tickets for those dates go on sale Tuesday 2 February at 9am local time.
Then, GTM rolls into Townsville over the May Day long weekend (leaving enough room for a rest/roadtrip for the Monday public holiday) and wraps up in Bunbury. Tickets for those stops will be available Wednesday 3 February at 9am local time.
