​Mona Foma (often shortened to Mofo) is one of Australia’s most critically-acclaimed music and arts festivals. Next year, it’s moving full-scale to Launceston. Curator Brian Ritchie, who is also the bassist for the Violent Femmes, talked all things Mofo with the Examiner, squeezing in time before heading out on an American tour.Mofo’s lineup launched on Friday. The list of Tasmanian, national, and international artists rivals anything they’ve brought to Hobart since the festival’s inception in 2009, and it will all centre around Inveresk in January.
