Moogfest is almost here!!! Moogfest is an electronic music festival that will be taking place in Asheville, NC for the first time after being held annually in New York in later years. The festival is named after Robert Moog who has called Asheville home for the past 30 years, so that's why it is there this year. This music festival is unlike most music festivals in the fact that the venues are not all in one large area outside. Being the unique little mountain town that Asheville is, the festival will be held right in the heart of downtown and the shows will take place at separate venues spread out within. Some of these cool venues include the Asheville Civic Center, The Orange Peel, Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, Stella Blue, and Moogaplex.
Being downtown will make for a very entertaining atmosphere as everyone will be surrounded by shops, restaurants, and bars..not to mention the other opportunites the festival presents to people including engaging in artist panel discussions, visual art exhibitions, and film screenings throughout the entire weekend. I'm also thinking about making a visit to the infamous Biltmore House, the largest American home in the United States, but definitely not in place of going to all of the shows! I can't wait to write on my blog after this weekend and I really don't know how I'm even going to explain all of the shows that I see. My favorite artists that I'm seeing at Moog are
Pretty Lights (On Halloween night!),
MGMT, Big Boi, Bisco, RJD2, Sleighbells, Nosaj Thing, Marty Party, Mimosa, Mindelixir, Girltalk, Hot Chip, and Thievory Corporation..... see ya next time!
