At the forefront of music technology, Moog continues to push the envelope of sonic development. The company also hosts an annual event, which is part festival and part trade show, allowing the company to pioneer new products with emerging artists.

Taking place in Durham, NC from May 19-22, the festival has announced a lineup that includes headlining performances from: Gary Numan (three night residency), GZA (two night residency), ODESZA, Laurie Anderson, Oneohtrix Point Never, Suzanne Ciani, Blood Orange, and Sun Ra Arkestra. The festival will also include keynote speeches by transhumanist pharma tycoon Dr. Martine Rothblatt and VR pioneer Jaron Lanier.

The lineup was announced by comedian/musician/talented performer Reggie Watts, who performed an improvised song to announce the lineup. You can watch that below:
