Trip Metal Fest unveils full schedule, kicks off tonight

The lineup has been known for weeks, and so has the basic sense of when and where things are going down. But just yesterday, the Trip Metal fest organizers unveiled the full schedule for the first (hopefully annual) Trip Metal fest.

It looks nothing short of amazing, if you’re even the most casual fan of experimental sound. The Nate Young-curated event primarily takes place over the course of the weekend at El Club, with performances by Morton Subotnick, Hieroglyphic Being with Marshall Allen, Lexie Mountain, Andrew WK, Creode, and so much more.

NOTE: TRIP METAL IS FREE*, but a 3-Day Pass guarantees entry to all events and helps cover additional costs TM Fest will incur. A 3-Day Pass also earns you a Trip Metal Fest T-shirt, drink tickets, poster, and more. There are a limited number left, here. *Everything is Terrible screenings at Cinema Detroit are $12 each. Fit/Trip Friday after-party is $10. The Effects of Noise on Brunch is $12.
