Reggie Watts has unveiled a YouTube video announcing the 2016 lineup of Moogfest. Set to happen May 19-22 in Durham, North Carolina, the four-day event will feature several blocks of performances, conversations and screenings, as well as a two-night stand from GZA and a Gary Numan residency that’ll see the synth-pop pioneer revisiting his first three records (Replicas, The Pleasure Principle and Telekon) in three different venues. Other themes include the “Future Pop” of Blood Orange, “Experimentalists” like Sunn O))), Oneohtrix Point Never and Ben Frost, and “Orchestral Ensembles” that explore everything from Sun Ra to Arthur Russell to Floating Points.
Festival passes are now available starting at $249 and topping out at $1000 for a limited “Engineer VIP” ticket that includes “two 3-hour synth building workshops in which participants build, modify, and keep a new, UNRELEASED Moog synth module with the Moog engineers who designed it.” Here’s the full breakdown…
