America’s premier underground electronic music festival includes 88 performances for this year’s lineup.
This Memorial Day weekend again, we will see tens of thousands of electronic music lovers flock to Movement festival in Detroit. It is now one of the longest-running electronic music festivals in the world and has garnered tremendous critical acclaim from the likes of THUMP, Resident Advisor,Β and Beatport.Β Movement has earned a reputation for pushing the envelope for electronic music and its bold lineups have always consisted headliners like Kraftwerk, Jeff Mills, and Underground Resistance. However, this year, many who have attended the festival in the past have accused Movement of playing it safe by not focusing enough on Detroit and Industrial Techno and choosing to book acts like Diplo, BadBadNotGood, Justin Martin, and Mija andΒ picking headliners like Claude von Stroke and The Martinez BrothersΒ who will be going back to back with Loco Dice.Β That’s not to say that there aren’t plenty of rare gems in the lineup and with 5 stages to choose from, almost everyone at the festival should find what they crave.
Movement Festival 2018 takes place on May 26-28 in Detroit, Michigan. Book your tickets here now!
