The Kaleidoscope Music Festival is moving to the mountains.

The event debuted in Emerald Meadows outside Eugene in 2013, with an electronic-heavy lineup led by Bassnectar, Empire of the Sun and Nas. But the area wasn't the right fit, and Kaleidoscope will move to Mount Hood this year, with the fest running from Sept. 19-21.

Oregon Music News' review of the 2013 installment said the festival struggled with "a severe lack of amenities," missing artists and "uptight" security. But there were no complaints about the music, which was aided by extensive light shows.

The event's being promoted by the Eugene-based OneEleven Productions, which launched in 2011 and has worked on events including the NOVA New Year's party and concerts by Rusko and Bro Safari.

No word yet on a lineup or ticket prices, but we'll keep you posted. Did you go to Kaleidoscope's first year? How was it?
