This Memorial Day weekend, Detroit's Hart Plaza will be transformed into the iconic Movement Electronic Music Festival.
A long-time source of techno music, this internationally renowned festival showcases the genre in its birthplace in a beautiful waterfront venue and six stages.
With just a few more days to go until fans take over the city for another year of this historic festival, here's everything you need to know about the 2024 Movement.
Set movement times
Headliners Solomun, Richie Hawtin and Fatboy Slim are scheduled to close out the Movement Stage each night this weekend. They will be joined by a diverse cast of artists including Dom Dolla, Chris Lake, Honey Dijon, Skream, Loco Dice, Jayda G, Nicole Moudaber, James Blake, Seth Troxler and many more.
You can see the schedules established for each day of the festival below.
Stages of movement
Movement Festival 2024 will feature six unique stages. The Movement Stage is the “main stage” and will host performances by the aforementioned headliners. The Waterfront stage is located on the Detroit River, which also serves as the border between the United States and Canada. Here you will find a special version of “30 Years of Metalheadz” on the last night of the event. Just downstream is the Pyramid Stage, which will feature a different take each night of the three-day festival.
The Stargate Stage cleverly uses its proximity to the Michigan Labor Legacy Landmark as part of its sci-fi production. On Sunday night, attendees will be able to catch a Masters At Work takeover before closing the stage at 10 p.m. The Underground Stage is an intense and intimate experience that takes you to a sweaty space beneath the plaza for some of the most impressive artists on the poster. Finally, the Detroit Stage is dedicated to the most important city of the genre. Here you will find a lineup made up entirely of Detroit artists.
