Today's lineup announcement represents about half of the total lineup for this year's fest, Huvaere says. Also on the docket: popular mashup DJ Z-Trip, 2008 Movement fave Benny Benassi and San Francisco-based experimental electronic act Bassnectar. This year's Movement will feature at least four stages of music, with the possibility of a fifth being added at a later date.

Cox is performing at the fest for the first time since 2001, and will headline the VitaminWater-sponsored main stage on May 23. Loco Dice vs. Luciano will close the main stage on May 24, and former festival director May -- making his first Movement appearance since 2006 -- will close the fest May 25.

Re: Initial Movement Lineup

Already have flight, hotel, and tickets. Hope to see some of you out for this one!

Re: Initial Movement Lineup

what hotel are you staying at and what airport are you flying into? I am looking into going to this and have no idea where to stay

Re: Initial Movement Lineup

This looks great so far - better than last year's. I will attend if I can afford it, which at this point doesn't look too promising since I would have to travel from California.

Bad Boy Bill! wOOt! :lol:

fly into DTW, stay at the Renaissance Marriott downtown.

Re: Initial Movement Lineup

thanks Jenks.. Spirit air flies into DTW from Tampa, hopefully they'll have some ridiculous prices soon.. they have 8 and 9 dollar flights all the time

Re: Initial Movement Lineup

I fly into DTW and stay at The Atheneum. I like staying in Greek Town. Great food, close to the casinos, and don't have to deal with a wristband system like other hotels closer to the Plaza.

Re: Initial Movement Lineup

Also, there's a strong rumor that Garnier and Mills will be doing an afterhours on Sunday night. This will be one of the parties of the year for me if it materializes. The source has been dead on so far with naming a number of the headliners (Luciano vs Dice is just one that he knew of) several weeks ago.

Re: Initial Movement Lineup
