The Movement Electronic Music Festival takes place May 26-28 in Detroit and features: five technologically-rich outdoor stages; more than 100 artists; free Wi-Fi access on the grounds; a posh VIP setting located behind the main stage; dozens of official afterparties; an interactive technology center featuring the hottest gear in the industry; and several art displays to stimulate the senses. Nearly 100,000 people from across the globe attended the 2011 festival. The festival began in 2000.
And now Movement have announced their full lineup for the 2012 festival, ensuring all your techno tastes are catered for in the home of the genre. Great to see a festival using its power to help keep a struggling city going. Jason Huvaere, president of Paxahau event organisers had this to say; "The festival line-up this year is a dynamic mix of legendary performers, Detroit icons and electronic dance music's rising stars. We're excited to be able to offer Movement Festival-goers 107 acts over three days, across five stages. No other festival can offer the authenticity of an underground party as well as the city that founded Techno and helped to put electronic dance music on the map."
