How can I add a new address line within moderncv style

Question

I'd like to have 3 lines for address with moderncv style. So I've added this lines in my file

\makeatletter
\renewcommand*{\address}[3]{\def\@addressstreet{#1}\def\@addresscity{#2}\def\@addresscountry{#3}}
\makeatother

\address{Street }{town}{Country}

but nothing has changed. Can anybody tell me how can I do?

moderncv has changed its syntax again so my old answer no longer works for a number of reasons. Anyway things are now much simpler because version 2.0.0 of moderncv now provides a command \makenewline that can be inserted in to the arguments of \address. Thus you can write

\address{street and number}{postcode city\makenewline county\makenewline country}

to place several arguments in the second part.

\documentclass{moderncv}

\moderncvstyle{classic}

\name{John}{Doe}

\address{street and number}{postcode city\makenewline
county\makenewline country} 

\begin{document}

\makecvtitle

\end{document}

The easiest solution is to simply use multi-line arguments, i.e. \address{Street}{Town\\Country}.

Your definition doesn't work, because \address only stores the information. The actual printing is done by the \maketitle command, which is redefined in the corresponding .sty file, i.e. moderncvthemeclassic.sty.

Sorry but this doesn't work. I get this error message "!Argument of @firstoftow has an extra" – Hamed Dec 02 '12 at 19:44
I would correct here, using multi-line arguments is allowed only for the first one \address{Street\\Town}{Country} – Hamed Oct 01 '15 at 11:27
