This festival from the same people as Bonnaroo was announced some time ago, but I just bought my ticket to Friday (I've got a wedding in Greensboro/Durham the rest of the weekend).

Friday night is Devo, Big Boi, MGMT, Girl Talk, Dan Deacon, Van Dyke Parks, RJD2, and a few more. Full schedule here: http://moogfest.com/2010/moogfest-2010/schedule/friday/

Quote:
Moogfest – the annual event honoring the remarkable vision of Robert Moog and his amazing musical inventions that changed the course of music – is reinventing itself. This year, moogfest 2010 will move from New York City to Asheville, NC – the place Bob Moog called home for the last 30 years of his life – and will expand to a 3-day, multi-venue event during the weekend of October 29 -31, 2010. During the festival, moogfest 2010 will host artists and audiences from throughout the world in different venues throughout Asheville’s beautiful, historic downtown.

Moogfest 2010 will celebrate Bob Moog’s legacy as a sonic pioneer, which will be the thread that unites the festival’s rich array of musical offerings. While the wide range of Moog instruments – the Minimoog Voyager, the Little Phatty, the Etherwave Theremin, Moogerfoogers, and the new Moog Guitar – will play prominent roles throughout the festival’s events, the artists performing will certainly not be limited to those who create their work on Moog instruments. Instead, artists will be chosen for their role in creating unique and groundbreaking musical experiences that embody the essence of Bob Moog’s visionary and creative spirit.

In addition to fantastic concerts by renowned performers of all kinds, moogfest 2010 will also offer opportunities to engage with the artists in panel discussions, question and answer sessions, and workshops. There will also be interactive experiences for the audience to explore their own musical creativity with a variety of Moog instruments. The festival will also offer visual art exhibitions, installations, and film screenings throughout the weekend.

Looks pretty decent. Of course, I can't read a 1/3 of the names so...

So I only got to go one day (Friday) but I had a blast. Saw Big Boi, MGMT, Dan Deacon and Girl Talk in one night without leaving one venue. They were all great but Dan Deacon may have been my favorite set.

Here's how Girl Talk came out:

Toward the end of his set:

Here's one of MGMT:
