With the event quickly approaching, Moogfest has just added funny-man Dillon Francis, as well as the inventive and multifaceted producer, Flying Lotus to their already exceptional lineup. Set to take place from April 23 – 27, Moogfest boasts a very comprehensive list of musical acts, which includes Kraftwerk, Pet Shop Boys, Giorgio Moroder, Com Truise, and Nile Rogers, just to name a few. In addition to all of the noteworthy performances, Moogfest hosts a series of panels, talks, and presentations from various musicians, engineers, and entrepreneurs, thus bringing in a slew of professionals along with the dance music fans. Held in Asheville, North Carolina, this multi-day festival is surmised to bring together approximately 30 000 attendees.
Another remarkable aspect of this festival is the extent to which it is expected to stimulate the local economy. President of Moogfest Music Inc, Mike Adams, has approximated that it will bring in around $30 million to the Asheville economy and its surrounding area:
“Moogfest just as a music concert ended in 2012. We’re transitioning Moogfest to become an economic development engine for the region”
The Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce has decided to put in $25 000 towards the analysis of the economic impact of the festival, which they view as “a long-term investment in the community that could encourage more technology entrepreneurs and more jobs”.
