The lineup for moe.down has arrived, with a group of artists that make this a true famoe.ly reunion.
Taking place over July 16-18, 2026 at the historic West End Fairgrounds in Gilbert, PA, moe. has shared the first look at the artist lineup, bringing in musical peers from over the years, with more than 20 bands, including a handful of side projects of the host band.
moe.down first took place in 2000 for a decade, at Turin, NY’s Snow Ridge Ski Resort. The festival would shift for two years to Gelston Castle in Mohawk, NY, then back to Turin for earlier in the summer moe.downs. The most recent installment of moe.down was #17, held in July 2019.
Beyond moe.’s daily evening shows, they’ll be joined by old friends and moe.down veterans many times over, Umphrey’s McGee, as well as Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country. One other big name will join the lineup soon (see below), along with keyboardist Nate Wilson’s band Ghosts of Jupiter, Hayley Jane Band, Kanika Moore & The Brown Eyed Bois, lespecial, Mike Dillon Band, Neighbor, Blueberry Betty, Conehead Buddha, Dr. Jah, Moon Boot Lover, Ominous Seapods, the Emma Derhak Band, Organ Farchild and Yolk.
Moore will also be performing throughout the weekend as the festival’s Artist at Large.
