moe. is very excited to announce the first round of artists for their annual Labor Day weekend festival, moe.down. Joining moe. will be: The Black Keys, Built to Spill, Tortoise, Ryan Montbleau Band and The Brew. This 3 day event has become known for its laid back vibe and great music, as well as its intimate and scenic setting. With only 2 stages, bands never overlap and patrons never miss a beat! This year, moe.down has a new home in Mohawk, NY at Gelston Castle Estate. As in the past, the price of admission includes camping. A limited number of Early Bird Tickets are on sale now through moe.ticketing (www.moe.org) for $90, until the allotment sells out, or June 1st when the second tier limited allotment of $110 kicks in. Look for another round of artists to be announced in the coming weeks.
