A
music festival hosted by
Moby,
touring across the
United States and
Canada. Playing at several different
venues in different
states, the
festival features performances by
Irish punk rockers Ash, the
percussive pipe
antics of the
Blue Man Group, and the ever
eccentric and
energetic Busta Rhymes. The
main attractions for the event are, of course,
David Bowie,
legendary rock star who co
headlining the
festival, and
Moby, the
diverse vegan musician who is impossible to
put a label on.
John Digweed,
DJ Tiesto and
DJ Tim Skinner keep things
raving in the
Playstation 2 Dance Tent, a
dance/
rave tent constantly
oontzing out beats seemingly seperate from the main shows.
