 Moby Details for Detroit's Electronic Music Festival have been revealed. Presented by Paxahau, Movement is an annual festival taking place over Memorial Day weekend (May 24-26). Over the years it has featured such diverse artists as Laurent Garnier and Richie Hawtin. Now in its 9th year the Festival takes place at Hart Plaza in downtown Detroit. Joining Paxahau will be The Red Bull Music Academy and MySpace. The Red Bull Music Academy will produce a stage that features such headliners as James Zabiela, Egyptian Lover, and Benny Benassi.
