Area Festival
The Area Festival was founded by popular electronic musician Moby. The music festival is currently on indefinite hiatus. The 2001 and 2002 editions were called Area:One and Area Two respectively. The festival featured diverse genres of music. Besides headliner Moby, the main stage mostly featured rock and pop acts. The second stage was an air-conditioned tent where electronic, dance and smaller bands performed.
Area: One acts included Moby, OutKast, New Order, Nelly Furtado, Incubus, and The Roots.
Area Two acts included Moby, David Bowie, Ash, Blue Man Group, and Busta Rhymes.
The main sponsors for the tour were Intel, KMX, and Pepsi.
With the 2005 release of Moby's new album, Hotel, it is possible that a new Area Festival will tour this summer.
