About Mogstock
The Mogstock festival is a yearly musical celebration held in Ward 22 subdivision of the Lavender Beds on the Mateus server.This large-scale community event endeavors to celebrate the wonderful part that music plays in FFXIV with our bards, choreographed dancers, orchestrions, and even the newer addition many groups have embraced: DJ'd nightclubs. Mogstock embraces the 'flowerchild' aspect of its namesake (Woodstock). Non-musically oriented community members are encouraged to get involved as vendors, guests, support staff, and more.Roleplay is also a huge feature of Mogstock, including multiple participating venues, immersive activities, and more! Get your free company out there and be part of something large and productive while also celebrating the unique 'role-play' focus on the Crystal data center.Mogstock is a massive collaboration event: DJs and musicians of all types, artists, vendors, free company sponsors, streamers, photographers, publicists, and support/info staff.

Bards & Musical Performers
Solo Artists

Calcifer plays a range of video game covers, pop, religious, and various other songs.
Clayde Lockheart
Clayde Lockheart is one of the founding members and organizers of Mogstock. He will be hosting Mogstock along with help from his crew to put on the best show possible. Clayde is a part of Final Fantasia, a band he partners with Mihna. Together they form an octet to play a wide variety of music. You can find Clayde popping up at random venues to play or just to offer some form of entertainment for the visiting patrons.
Dawn Nightmare
Dawn plays bits of everything, but if she HAD to say, her preference might barely be rock music. She is a real-life musician (guitar, bass, drums, piano, and harmonica) who is venturing into game midi editing too. She has an a midi keyboard plugged in and really enjoys playing little "custom" intros/intermissions manually with her midi keyboard in between songs and such! She also has a few tricks she uses that she hasn't seen other bards do yet, and a few tricks that only solo bards can do! Dawn is = only a few months old as a bard, but she has done dozens of multi-hour Limsa performances for the random peoples and around ten venue performances so far.
Ezra Parzival - The Warrior Bard
The Warrior Bard Ezra plays a variety of music: pop, rock, soundtracks, and anime to name a few. He enjoys playing a variety to those interested in listening. He tends to be seen around various city-states on Crystal performing, usually in most cases at the tree across from the Aftcastle aetheryte in Limsa. Venue-wise, he has performed at the Crystal Academy of Musical Arts on Sundays when he has a moment or at Bard's & Brews. He also performed at Mogstock in 2023. Ezra is interested in returning to Mogstock to join folks in sharing love of performance and music with fellow fans.
feeb
An eccentric young woman from La Noscea with big dreams and an even bigger love of the color green, W'baharra Xhula (better known as Phoebe Severs or feeb) can often be found serenading art parties and open stages with her intricate, layer-heavy barding style. The self-described "Eorzea's greenest lute player" recently completed "Heaven of Wind," a concept album for solo bards themed after the Twelve deities Llymlaen and Oschon.
Kaede Hattersire
Kaede is a fiddler who likes bringing music from her home to Eorzea.
Kirk Legacy
A Crystal Academy for Musical Arts student. While he prioritizes video games songs more, he plays things that will feel like either a sunny day or a night sky. He likes to mix techniques and uses fireworks and dances between tracks
The North Wind
The North Wind is a masked Lalafellin debonair Bard and purported Gridanian war hero whose voice has been said to inspirit and uplift the hearts and minds of those fortunate enough to hear him. Heralded by a chilling gust, he is known to appear unexpectedly, sing his piece, and mysteriously vanish like the fleeting zephyrs by which he earned his epithet. In recent times, his formidable singing abilities have been further augmented with a peculiar addition: a group of ""rapping mini-primals"" who refer to themselves as The Sassy Six, which together their bound master, form their own music group. He has performed in a variety of different venues, including the Bandee Pakshee, Sports Festivals, Entertainment Halls, Mooncat Solidarity, and Queens of Metal. He has even worked alongside other big names and bands such as CHARMED, Savo the Sewer Cat, Kynuh the Snowcatte, and even the Moogle Troupe.All of the North Wind's songs are done vocally by the player, usually through tracks from FFXIV and other games with originally-written lyrics, as well as the occasional cover song. Knowing how vast the roleplay community is was one thing, but learning that an opportunity to hone his singing talents and share them with the rest of the online world was—and still is—his biggest motivation to getting into barding. Mogstock is one of (if not the greatest) opportunity to do this. As far as music styles go, he would consider himself more along the scope of pop and hip-hop, sometimes blending both with his unique musical approach.
Viyene
Viyene is a hand-playing bard and owner of the Crystal Academy for Musical Arts alongside Clayde. She loves teaching music.
Vylaris Pyranox
Vylaris is a bard who plays everything by hand. She knows a variety of songs ranging from pop, rock, anime, video games, and classical and she is always learning something new. She loves traveling and sharing her music with the world. Vylaris spends most of her days practicing or performing in front of others. This little Lala has been making herself known with live performances since the year 2020.
Yvet Austeen
Yvet plays a wide variety of music, including various games like the Legend of Zelda franchise, publishing companies like Studio Ghibli, and of course Disney and various anime. Anything that will transport you to another time and bring out that nostalgic feel, Yvet will strive to play with her harp in hand. She's played at a few venues, though most recently she works for Midnight Echoes as one of two resident bards. She also played in last year's Mogstock as a solo performer and has high hopes for this year's Mogstock as well!

They regularly play for Seaside, XFC, and Hideaway, and will also drop in to SideArm's and Dreamscape's open stages when they can.
Mai Secret Valentine
Mai Secret Valentine is a quintet that infuses 80's glam into every genre of songs. Their approach is to be a dive bar cover band, covering most genres in a style of their own.

DJs
Anam Tris
Anam is actually a music producer, but some of their work has been used in DJ venues! Their style is best described as experimental music with heavy influences from LoFi, EDM, and various other forms of electronic genres. As varied as the influences are, so are the songs they've created, depending on what emotion I was channeling at the time. They've played small shows here or there, but haven't had a permanent place to play. They're a deeply spiritual soul (though not religious) and enjoy expressing themself through music, especially if it helps or inspires others to feel their emotions, or just to get them to dance! They're incredibly creative and intend to mix the elements of RP and performing with plans to provide vocals for many of the songs they've already created. All in all, they're a passionate soul who just wants to bring beautiful music to the world!
Blaq Magiq00
Blaq Magiq loves bard troops, short walks, and ice cream. They play a big variety of music, but especially like the 80s–00s and 90s alt rock. They've DJed at a ton of venues from NA to EU. Why do they want to play Mogstock? Because it's freakin AWESOME!

Lilith Stormchaser
Lilith got started with roleplaying in FFXIV many years ago and ran a large RP free company on Faerie called The Welcome Inn for four years. During that time, she made a music video to promote it. Later, she decided it might be fun to do more of that and began to focus heavily on her YouTube channel, making FFXIV music videos and RP and glamour guides. A little over a year ago, a venue asked her to DJ for their opening night. She cobbled something together and had a really nice time. After that, she picked up some actual DJ gear and added a Twitch channel to her portfolio.Her style tends toward the chill end of the spectrum; deep house, progressive/melodic house, and trip hop are her favorites. You will hear tracks like "Come Fly Away" by Benny Benassi, "Counting Down the Days" by Above and Beyond, and "Cherie" by Darius in her sets. She has performed at dozens of venues, including Kolat, PBM, Purrfection, Reign Club, and more.
