Movement Festival 2024: Set Times, Stages, Lockers and Everything Else You Need to Know

This Memorial Day Weekend, Detroit’s Hart Plaza will be transformed into the iconic Movement Electronic Music Festival.

A longtime wellspring of techno music, the internationally acclaimed festival showcases the genre in its birthplace across a beautiful waterfront venue and six stages.

With just a few more days to go until fans take over the city for another year of this historic festival, here’s everything you need to know about Movement 2024.

Movement set times

Headliners Solomun, Richie Hawtin and Fatboy Slim are slated to close out the Movement Stage (mainstage) each night this weekend. They will be joined by a diverse cast of artists, including Dom Dolla, Chris Lake, Honey Dijon, Skream, Loco Dice, Jayda G, Nicole Moudaber, James Blake, Seth Troxler and many more.

You can view the set times for each day of the festival below.

Movement stages

Movement Festival 2024 will feature six unique stages. The Movement Stage is the “mainstage” and will host performances from the aforementioned headliners. The Waterfront stage is nestled on the Detroit River which also serves as the border between the United States and Canada. Here you will find a special “30 Years of Metalheadz” takeover on the final night of the event. Just down the river is the Pyramid Stage, which is set to feature a different takeover each night of the three-day festival. 

The Stargate Stage cleverly uses its proximity to the Michigan Labor Legacy Landmark as part of its sci-fi production. On Sunday night, attendees will be able to witness a Masters At Work takeover before they close out the stage at 10pm. The Underground Stage is an intense, intimate experience that packs you into a sweaty space beneath the plaza for some of the hardest-hitting artists on the lineup. Finally, the Detroit Stage is dedicated to the genre’s most important city. Here you will find a lineup made up entirely of artists from Detroit.
