The Winning Ticket: Moogfest @ Asheville, NC, 4/23-4/27/14

Moogfest_1_29_7
We at We Love DC are no stranger to ticket giveaways! But today we have a very unique opportunity with a pair of general admission tickets to a respected music festival that takes place not too far away from our fair city.

We are giving away a pair of tickets to Moogfest in Asheville, NC, on Wednesday, April 23 through Sunday, April 27.

Moogfest 2014 celebrates the synthesizer, and the slate of headliners scheduled to appear this year cross genres and boundaries as groundbreaking artists. The five-day festival features three performances by German pioneers Kraftwerk as well as a dance party featuring disco legend Nile Rodgers and his band CHIC.

You may recall Rodgers recently collaborated with Daft Punk on their Grammy-winning album, Random Access Memories, as did Giorgio Moroder, who will be on hand as a DJ and a guest lecturer. Performance artist Laurie Anderson will present her solo show, “The Language of the Future.”

In addition to these strong headliners and dozens upon dozens of other bands, Moogfest only yesterday announced the addition of the Pet Shop Boys, M.I.A., Flying Lotus and Dillon Francis to the lineup!

Asheville, where synth inventor Bob Moog spent the last 30 years of his life, has been home to Moogfest since 2010. The pleasantly idyllic metropolis hosts Moogfest across a number of venues, including The Orange Peel, one of the most famous concert venues in the country. If you’re up for a road trip, Asheville is an easy seven-hour drive from DC.

For your chance to win these tickets, simply leave a comment on this post using a valid email address between 9am and 5pm today. Feel free to leave any comment, but perhaps tell us what Moogfest artist you would most like to see! One entry per email address, please. Tickets for this show are also available through Ticketmaster.

For the rules of this giveaway…

Comments will be closed at 5pm and a winner will be randomly selected. The winner will be notified by email. The winner must respond to our email within 24 hours or they will forfeit their tickets and we will pick another winner.

  2. Would give my feet to be able to attend moogfest! I’d love to see Don Buchla live :)

  6. Who I want to see most? Man. That’s almost too tough to decide. There are just so many amazing people. I guess Flying Lotus would be my highlight though. I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing him live yet, but everything he touches is gold. I mean, his song for the sub phatty launch blew my mind. I knew it was going to be an awesome synth, but he really showed what it could do. So yeah, I guess Flying Lotus is the one I want to see most, but it’s a very close race.

  7. probably the most exciting festival lineup in the country in one of the most beautiful places in the country!!

  19. yay for GHOSTLY INTERNATIONAL and No. 19! can’t wait to see audion, Matt laid it down at movement last year!

  20. The Pet Shop Boys in Asheville?! Never would i have
    imagined it! I’ve waited 20 years to see them and now
    they’re playing in my hometown! My tiny mind is blown!

  21. yay! for GHOSTLY INTERNATIONAL and No. 19! can’t wait to see audion, Matt laid it down at movement last year!

  22. Moogfest indeed has an excellent lineup this year.
    I couldn’t go without seeing Kraftwerk, given the opportunity of having them. I’d love to catch Moderat and then get down to Metro Area too!

  29. Been a fan of Kraftwerk since about 1978 when my cousin turned me on to them, and it changed my life. The thought that I might get to see them play live is amazing. Here’s the lucky email address: tzbauknight@icloud.com. Fingers crossed.

  33. I’m excited for all of these incredible acts, but most of all for MODERAT! I’ve been waiting to see their music live for a while now, and I’m so glad Moogfest has brought them to Asheville!

  34. Seeing Kraftwerk would be a dream come true. Seeing Kraftwerk and all of the other pioneers and current faves in one weekend might just make my head explode from happiness overload.

  36. Too many artists to pick a favorite or more favored to see, if I did choose it would be Avey Tare’s Slasher Flicks. Unfortunately Obama care has my money tight right now or I would already have tickets

  38. Moderat! Been waiting to see these guys for years and I couldn’t be more excited to finally have this opportunity!

  45. Love the vibe of this lineup. It would be a cool experience to time-warp back to the 70’s and catch Gjorgio, Chic, and Kraftwerk taking a victory lap.

  46. One? I have to pick one artists? Are you mad? Crazy? Short circuited?

    Chic, Kraftwerk, PSB? In one place? Insane.

    OK, the artists I want to see most is Giorgio. Why? Because: Call me; Life in Tokyo; Donna Summer; Chic;

    and this: Disco.
