The Trip Metal Fest taking place this Memorial weekend at various Detroit venues is featuring electronic music in all its different forms:
experimental, industrial, funk, punk, techno and more.

the birthplace of revolutionary music genres.
Curated by Wolf Eyes' Nate Young, the festival will feature performances
from Wolf Eyes, a collaborative performance from Andrew W.K. and Young,
synth pioneer Morton Subotnick, Hieroglyphic Being with Marshall Allen
& Danny Ray Thompson of the Sun Ra Arkestra, and more.
