To generally get teenagers up at the crack of dawn is no easy task, but today is no ordinary day.
This year's Groovin the Moo line up has attracted the attention of many music and party-loving teens, travelling from distances including Melbourne, Richmond and Geelong.
All types of people are spilling out of trains at the Bendigo station from the occasional music lover to die hard musicians, all coming to Bendigo to have a good time and chill with their mates.
There's also quite a lot of first timers from Bendigo, who hear it from word of mouth, friends and the radio.
Sticky Fingers, Hilltop Hoods, Broods, One Day and Meg Mac are all draw cards and there's a strong following for Flight Facilities.
However with the many great bands this year, a favourite is hard to choose.
Many Groovin the Moo-ers are bunking in Bendigo for the night, while those that aren't are hopping back on the train or begging mum and dad to take them home.
One thing is for certain though, Bendigo is not going to sleep tonight and these teenagers cannot get enough of it.
