Moogfest has unveiled its first wave of 2019 programming.
The Durham, North Carolina festival takes place April 25 to 28 and is set to feature a whole host of new artists and industry figures.
The likes of Mor Elian, Matthew Dear, Kimbra, GAS, Tim Hecker (and the Konoyo Ensemble) have been confirmed for nighttime events alongside Debit, Minimal Violence and more.
Also announced, Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore has been locked in for a interview as part of the daytime programming alongside William Basinski, who will lead this year’s overnight sleep concert.
The upcoming event will be Moogfest’s 15th instalment and will once again celebrate and honour the “innovative spirit” of sonic pioneer Bob Moog.
Moogfest is set to reveal more artists, speakers and schedule details for both day and night events in the weeks leading up to the festival.
