As surely as the leaves shall change, Halloweekend will soon draw nigh, and with it, that age-old question: what should we do tonight to celebrate? Well, Asheville, NC’s MoogFest has October 29 - 31 covered. With an already stellar lineup including Panda Bear, Van Dyke Parks, Dan Deacon, Matmos, Emeralds, El-P, Massive Attack, Devo, Big Boi, and a ton of other amazing names, MoogFest is upping the ante with the addition of recently announced performers Cee-Lo, Sleigh Bells, Mutemath, Omar Souleyman, and Neon Indian. The festival will also include workshops, exhibitions, and panel discussions. In the words of a wise man (MC Hammer), “you can’t touch this” lineup.
Bob Moog established Moog Music in Asheville in 1963. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the invention of the MiniMoog synthesizer. Happy Birthday, MiniMoog!
