It's hard to believe that Movement Music Festival is almost here, back in Detroit's Hart Plaza during Memorial Day Weekend for the first time since 2019.
Organizer Paxahau revealed the techno-focused festival's full lineup and set times on Thursday, featuring more than 110 artists across six stages, an increase from the festival's usual five stages. The new stage is the Detroit Stage presented by JARS, the festival's first-ever official cannabis sponsor. The stage will feature a lineup of all-Detroit acts, ranging from newcomers to scene veterans.
The schedule drops shortly after the popular DJ Skrillex announced he had pulled out of the festival. According to an Instagram post published Thursday, Skrillex says he decided to cancel his appearance to focus on his new music.
"I hope you understand that this was a very difficult decision for me to make but I'll be back soon with the show you all deserve," he wrote.
Skrillex's slot on the schedule has been replaced by the addition of Michigan's own GRiZ, the festival says.
The festival also announced that the Underground Stage has been moved due to safety concerns with its one-way entrance and exit ramp at its former location. Paxahau says the new Underground Stage is around the corner from the old location in an unused food court service area, and "is twice as large as the previous space and will offer fans an enhanced warehouse-like atmosphere with 120 linear feet of wide open wall space," according to a press release.
Detroit artist Sheefy McFly has also been announced as the festival's artist in residence, and will create an on-site installation at the Pyramid Amphitheater near the Pyramid Stage. The artist in residence program is sponsored by 1xRun and Ooze.
The festival takes place Saturday, May 28-Monday, May 30. Passes are on sale at movementfestival.com.
