Sylvan Esso, the Durham-based electronic pop duo made up of Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn, is bringing a new, two-night music festival called Good Moon to Durham Bulls Athletic Park May 31-June 1.
- The event will bring in other musical acts such as Fleet Foxes, Dehd and Hippo Campus.
Why it matters: Sylvan Esso, one of the most prominent musical acts to come out of Durham in the past decade, has prioritized creating big musical events in their hometown.
- In 2022, the band did a three-night stand at the smaller Historic Durham Athletic Park, bringing in artists like Little Brother, Yo La Tengo and Indigo de Souza.
What to expect: In addition to live music, the festival will feature pop-ups from the Durham music label Psychic Hotline and the clothing manufacturer Oxford Pennant.
- Sylvan Esso hopes to make Good Moon a recurring event, per a spokesperson for the festival.
Weekend passes are on sale now. Individual day passes will be released soon.
- There will be after parties both nights at the event space with DJ sets from Made of Oak (aka Sanborn) and Suzi Analogue.
