Moogfest’s second wave lineup has crashed ashore, adding to its’ already burgeoning list of artists, which is to be held in Durham for the first time, from May 19-22. The biennial festival has grown since its inception, originally to honor Robert Moog’s birthday, and has grown into a multi-day technology focused festival with performers, panels, instrument building workshops and exhibits.

Miike Snow, Grimes, and Black Madonna are some of the acts to join the roster, alongside noise-rockers Health, and Bob Moses just to name a few of the additions. IBM’s Watson will be dipping his toes-erm, cables into the DJ business, as he spins his first set: appropriately under the name “DJ Watson”. Also announced were several exhibits, notably Burt’s Bees Hives at the American Tobacco Campus and Kyle McDonald’s Wifi Whispherer, where “leaky data” from festival-goer’s phones and tablets will be repurposed into visual and audio soundscapes.
