Haha Nick, if you come down for Moog we can call it a tie. quack school, quack work, MOOG IT DAWG!!!
And sang, I was using the word "play" loosely; I know that when he goes places for "performances," it's either primarily or exclusively visual art stuff at this point, so I figured if he was coming to Moogfest in some capacity, it wasn't going to be just a straightforward musical performance.
That's not to say I'm disappointed by any of this; I think it's really, REALLY awesome (in a super geeky way) that they are pushing boundaries and further expanding this festival to include visual art and awesome lectures and think pieces and such. And there's no more perfect man for the job than Eno. I'm just as excited about seeing the Illustrated Talk and the 77 Million Paintings exhibition as I am about most of the stuff on the proper lineup.

Kind of curious, how much do you guys think they paid Eno to do all this? As much as they would pay for a regular show from one of the higher artists on the bill? More, less?
I think it's gonna be in the upwards Headliner range. There is a reason 77 Million Paitings Hasn't been in the US outside of LA and NYC. Money I'm sure is one of them, NOT because people didn't want it.
That said ... I wouldn't skip that Hans-Joachim Roedelius show if I were you.

I think it definitely costs somewhere in the headliner price range. I'm definitely as excited about seeing this as I am about pretty much any concert listed. This will be incredibly cool. It only costs $5, too. Someone on facebook was bitching about it costing money, and Moogfest gave a great response:
There's actually a reason for this. 77 Million Paintings is intended to be an experience of quiet and contemplation. It's a piece that you are intended to spend a bit of time with. Having people casually and quickly moving in and out of the space is disruptive to the experience of others and it's also no way to experience the work. So, the admission is intended to be a bit of a commitment but we wanted to keep it easily affordable at the same time. The Talk is a similar situation. The people who come to the talk should be committed to the entire experience. It will be too disruptive for people to just dip in and out of it at will. So, we're asking for that extra commitment to make certain that we're accommodating the people who truly want to be there. Hope this makes sense.

Definitely.
EDIT: I just updated the first post with Austra and Friday and the bit about Brian Eno. I'm going to try to find a good couple links about it, perhaps the video Moogfest posted earlier (I'm about to watch it), and I'll post them all in the first post. If you have any suggestions of some links with info, feel free to throw them out there.

I'm slowly becoming as obsessed with Moogfest as I am with Bonnaroo. It really does have such a unique feel to it, just like the feeling I got when I first showed up to Roo at the age of 19 back in 2007. Definitely my favorite city festival that's going on these days. And thanks for the post, Spaceman!
Sad, but I'm actually kinda studying tonight for this and moved my work schedule around so I can be home by 3. All works out in the end though, I feel like I don't know the artist at Moog nearly as well as I'd like.
After hearing about this at 'roo I finally saved up enough to buy a weekend pass to Moogfest this year! The lineup is simply too amazing to pass up on. Anyone making the drive/flight from Denver?

HA! This coming from the woman that won the first round (which was nice to see your name on the Moogfest website. Did you see that?
Percentage-wise, there's no comparison. And I also fall into the boat of using this lineup as more of a tool for discovery than anything else. I've discovered some wonderful bands from this year's lineup (from Amon Tobin to The Naked and Famous).
