Detroit’s perennial Movement Electronic Music Festival
announced the first phase of their 2013 lineup today. The annual festival will take
place Memorial weekend, May 25-27, 2013. Last year’s Movement festival broke
attendance records with a record 107,343
festival goers, the largest attendance since becoming a ticketed event in 2005.
This year Paxahau have secured Movement alums Richie Hawtin, Derrick May and
Kevin Saunderson for the festival among countless others. Saunderson and May will perform a back-to-back DJ set to close out the event. Other notable names on the roster include
livetronica act, Big Gigantic, who will be in Royal Oak next week, veteran house DJ
John Digweed and festival co-founder Carl Craig. Art Department, Andy C, Dave
Clarke, Dennis Ferrer, and upcoming EDM acts, Noisia and The M Machine are also on the bill. Movement
has a long history of showcasing new talent before their mainstream breakthrough
with Deadmaus, Pretty Lights, Benny Benassi, Excision, Girl Talk and Skrillex
among the list of artists who have played the festival prior to becoming
large-scale headliners. There has recently been talk of trying to lure some
larger known talent to compete with Chicago’s dance heavy Electric Daisy
Carnival Chicago, which is happening the same weekend. Expect a second phase of artists to be relatively released soon.
Three day festival passes
are a steal at $79 for the entire festival. The VIP option for the five-stage
festival is $199.
