Reactions ranging from hope for the future to anger for the decision were felt from moe.rons early last week when the band-centric festival called off the 16th installment slated for late August/early September 2015. As one of the few festivals that focus on one band and their curated lineup, making it 15 years is no small feat and is likely the longest stretch for a music festival to run with one band serving as host. Here’s hoping after the dust settles, moe.down 16 is on the calendar in 2016.
moe.rons on Facebook took it especially hard, with reactions ranging from sad, (“It’s not just a band and a crowd. It’s a way of life. It’s community and famoe.ly. It’s music, love, and laughter. It is my favorite time of the year.”), to hopeful (“I hope they’ve got a monster summer tour in store for us at least.”) , to ways to remedy the lack of three days of moe. in Upstate New York (“moe. should play three nights with the Disco Biscuits at a festival in Upstate New York (revamped Camp Bisco??)”). While fans are settling in with the news, we’ll see what moe. has in store when they share summer plans in the coming months.
Twitter handled it a little differently…
There’s no @moedown. So I’m predicting they’ll play a few nights at the Brewery

“@moedown: moe.down to take a break in 2015. Read more: http://t.co/MGnhCnLfAa” / 15 years is a good run. Hopefully it’s back in 2016.

@moedown this sucks. Was a 12 yr. moe.down vet. Better hope @phish continues their labor day debauchery in Denver.
