This year's Movement Music Festival will feature UFO-themed art installation, gear showcase

(Detroit Metro Times) If you’re heading to this year’s Movement Music Festival, you likely already know all about the lineup, which includes more than 115 acts across six stages, and probably even already have your eyes on a few afterparties. Here are a few more things to know before you head down to Hart Plaza.

This year’s fest will maintain a similar layout as it did in 2022, which was the first time it returned since COVID-19 led to its cancellation downtown in 2020 and 2021. JARS Cannabis returns as the festival’s cannabis sponsor, but it now sponsors the Waterfront Stage this year.

Other features include the Movement Studio presented by Sweetwater, located near the Detroit Stage, which will showcase the latest electronic music gear and offer attendees hands-on demonstrations and even a chance to win the equipment on display to help them become Detroit’s next hottest DJ.

The festival will also see the return of its artist residency program, in partnership with local arts organization 1XRun. This year’s artists-in-residence are Detroit artists Amy Fisher Price and Kelly Golden, who are collaborating on an installation dubbed Detroit Techno City, which will be located near the Pyramid Stage. ..............(more)
