- KASEY WILKINS kasey.wilkins@news.com.au

MOVE over farm animals, because the Hobart Showground is set to showcase a very different kind of produce later this year.

Coming from the creators of major music festival Groovin the Moo, Fresh Produce is set to give regional areas across the country a sample of some of Australia’s freshest talent.

Hitting the stage at the Hobart Showground in September will be a tasty mix of big Australian names and local acts in September.

Festival favourite G Flip is among the headliners, ready to bring her catchy indie-pop beats and latest hit Queen to audiences across the country.

After starting the year with a bang after taking out four spots in the highly coveted Hottest 100, including hitting number two with hit track Booster Seat, Spacey Jane will also take to the stage. Twins Cosmo and Patrick Liney — a.k.a Cosmo’s Midnight — will perform and Brisbane singer-songwriter Mallrat will also be back in Tassie for the festival, following a sold out show at the Goods Shed late last month.

Other headliners include ARIA award-winning pop rock group Lime Cordiale and Sydney hip-hop artist Hooligan Hefs.

Local acts Maddy Jane, Slag Queens and Slaughterh­aus Surf Cult will also hit the stage.

Cattleyard Promotions director Steve Halpin was excited for the new regional concert series to tour across the country during spring, following the cancellati­on of Groovin the Moo for 2021. “Our team is very excited to be developing a new show that highlights the ripest pickings from multiple regions around the country,” he said.

Fresh Produce’s Glenorchy concert will take place on September 10 and 11 at the Hobart Showground­s.

Tickets will go on sale 9am Feburary 18.
