About Movement:
Each year on Memorial Day weekend, thousands of people from across the globe gather in the birthplace of Techno to celebrate the heritage of Detroit and its musical influence over countless generations – new and old. Movement Music Festival is one of the longest-running dance music events in the world, committed to showcasing authentic electronic music and providing an experience unlike any other. The festival takes place in Hart Plaza – Detroit’s legendary riverfront destination.
Press accolades for Movement:
“[One of the] 50 Essential Summer Festivals” – NEW YORK TIMES.
“Three days of techno, house, hip-hop, love, connection, positive vibes and dancing, and a much-needed respite from the pain of current events.” – BILLBOARD.
“Undoubtedly still the most important electronic music festival in the country” – UPROXX.
“Movement Festival shows Detroit is still leading the way for Techno” – MIXMAG.
“Movement Detroit continues to prove to be in a league of its own and a true bucket list destination for any avid electronic dance music fan.” – THIS SONG SLAPS.
“The festival started on a high note and ended on an even higher one. It’s common for festivals to calm down as each day goes by as people get tired – Movement did just the opposite. The energy picked up, outfits got cuter and the weather got hotter. And the nights didn’t end with the festival; people went straight to the afterparties and partied until the sun came up every single day.” – OFFICE.
