The DMM Guide to Movement 2017: Friday

Movement 2016
(Nick Kassab | Detroit Music Magazine)

 

Last year, Movement Electronic Music Festival marked its tenth anniversary — a considerable milestone for an event that has both bona fide local cred and undeniable international appeal. But as a festival that celebrates one of Detroit’s most forward-looking imports — the mechanical grind and skeletal beats of techno — even when taking a moment to honor its legacy, Movement always keeps its eyes on the future.

 

So here we are a year later, and Movement 2017 promises to continue upping the ante, with six full stages of music spanning three days. And that’s only if you’re counting the official festival itself. Ask any Movement veteran and they’ll tell you that the many pre- and afterparties contribute to the general spirit of the weekend as much as what goes down in Hart Plaza.

 

To help you sort out your plans for Memorial Day Weekend, Detroit Music Magazine has once again compiled a set of guides with all the info you need. Stay tuned as we highlight artists to watch, parties to attend, and other essential tips to keep you on track as you fest away. We begin with the opening events before Movement itself kicks off.
