Amenities
In addition to the on-site music programming, the festival will feature multiple art installations; including Drive In — a dive into music and nostalgia by southwest Detroit-based artist Freddy Diaz (aka @swfreddy) in collaboration with 1XRUN. Diaz sets a beautiful stage where the cars dance and have personalities like the souls attending the festival. With Drive In, Diaz aimed to fuse together some of the most amazing things about Detroit. Drive In is located at the Pyramid Amphitheater (near the Pyramid Stage).
The festival will also host the Respect the Architects and Remembering Amp Fiddler exhibits, curated by Underground Music Academy (UMA). Brought by the partnership with Resident Advisor and Detroit Techno Foundation. The exhibits recognize and celebrate some of Detroit electronic music community’s most impactful and unsung heroes. These include Delano Smith, Mike “Mad Mike” Banks of Underground Resistance, Mike Huckaby, Zana Smith, K-Hand, Ron Murphy, James Pennington, Ken Collier and many more. A special dedication to Amp Fiddler will also be showcased this year. He passed away in December 2023.
We are really looking forward to next weekend. Enjoying the music in Techno City will be a celestial feeling.
