Movement Festival has unveiled the first names on the line up for this year’s event.
Detroit is America’s outlaw city. At its height, the population stood at more than 2 million citizens with the area’s motor industry helping to fuel immense growth. Since the industry’s collapse, though, Detroit has fallen with little more than 750,000 residents remaining.
Aiming to unite the city’s history for musical innovation with a sense of renewal, Movement is the largest outdoor event in Detroit. Returning this summer, the festival has confirmed the first names on the line up.
Public Enemy will headline, with the electronic heavy line up also including some techno luminaries. Kevin Saunderson is set to appear, with fellow Detroit residents Juan Atkins, Carl Craig and Jeff Mills also taking part.
British producer Actress will journey to Movement, with other names on the line up including Jimmy Edgar, Michael Mayer and more.
Jason Huvaere, president of event organisers Paxahau, had the following 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.”
