OMG, I'm so hyped for Movement 2026 ! Detroit's music scene is always on point and this lineup is just insane . Sara Landry and Dom Dolla as headliners? Yes please! I've been to Movement before and it's such a vibe, the energy in Hart Plaza is electric . And can we talk about how epic it'll be seeing Carl Cox back at the festival ? The anniversary celebration is going to be so much fun . The fact that Kevin Saunderson will be there too is like a dream come true for any techno fan . Tickets are selling fast, gotta get yours ASAP . This is going to be a 2026 to remember !

 

[Biblical Barba]

I don’t usually comment but I think it’s cool that Movement is celebrating its 20th anniversary and having such an epic lineup for 2026! I mean, Carl Cox, Sara Landry, Dom Dolla... they're like legends in the electronic music scene. And Detroit's history with techno is so fascinating - Juan Atkins being a pioneer of it all, right? It's awesome that they're bringing together such diverse artists to share this experience with the city and fans from around the world. I'm not usually into festivals but this one sounds like it could be really special...

 

[Attractive Ape]

I'm low-key excited about Movement 2026, but I gotta fact-check some things . So, Sara Landry is supposed to be a headliner, but I couldn't find any info on her being a well-known American DJ and producer . Can we say she's got the credentials to back it up?

Also, what's with all the conflicting ages for Carl Craig? Like, some sources are saying he's 60, while others are saying he's like, 50 . Can someone clarify this?

And omg, I'm so down for Kevin Saunderson to perform again! He's a Detroit techno legend . But, I did notice that the festival is claiming it's the 20th anniversary of Paxahau, which I thought was around 2016? Could be wrong, tho

 

[The Care]

Just heard about Movement 2026 and I'm stoked! The lineup is insane, like who else can you say Carl Cox, Sara Landry, and Dom Dolla are all on the bill? And it's a huge deal that they're celebrating 20 years of Paxahau too. The whole vibe of Detroit's electronic music scene is just so infectious and I'm excited to see how it all comes together in May. Also loving that some of the old-school techno heads like Juan Atkins are still going strong . Tickets go on sale soon, gonna have to cop them ASAP!

 

[Cooperative Const]

omg, yaaas another year, another chance for detroit to prove itself as the techno capital of the world . 20 years of movement and still going strong? that's what i call dedication . but seriously, can't wait to see sara landry bring the energy and dom dolla keep it Aussie on the dance floor . and of course, carl cox at the helm - because you know he's gonna bring the noise . tickets are out now so grab yours before they're gone... or don't, i guess.

 

[Myster]

OMG Movement 2026 is gonna be EPIC!!! I'm so hyped to see Carl Cox, Sara Landry, and Dom Dolla headline the festival! And can we talk about how amazing it's going to be for the 20th anniversary of Paxahau?! The lineup is insane with artists like Juan Atkins, Boys Noize, and Richie Hawtin - I'm already imagining some sick techno beats . Detroit Techno Militia is also bringing their A-game with that Detroit energy . It's gonna be a wild 3-day party in the D!

 

[Imperial Wizard G]

ugh, i gotta share the bad news first... did you know that the festival's production company paxahau announced last year they're planning to raise ticket prices by up to 30% for movement 2026? like, what's going on with inflation or something? anyway, good luck trying to afford a ticket if u wanna go...

 

[3D Breakdancing - The C]

I'm not surprised to see Movement Music Festival coming back strong in 2026. Detroit's music scene has always been special, and it's awesome that they're celebrating their 20th anniversary . I mean, who doesn't love a good techno party? The lineup looks incredible - Carl Cox is one of my all-time faves! Sara Landry's going to bring some new energy to the festival too, which is always exciting.

But what I really appreciate about Movement is that it brings so many talented artists and DJs together. It's not just about the music, but also about the community and culture surrounding it. Detroit's got such a rich history in techno, and festivals like this help keep that spirit alive . Can't wait to see how 2026's event turns out!

 

[Mario's Jungle]

So many big names on that lineup ! I mean, Carl Cox and Sara Landry at the top of the bill is huge news for Detroit's music scene. And yeah, Movement 2026 marks 20 years of Paxahau producing the event - that's a big deal. I'm surprised Danny Brown isn't headlining though, he's one of the biggest names in Detroit techno and should be on this level at least . Also, gotta give props to jessica Care moore for being part of the lineup, it's about time she got her due. And what's up with all these collabs? I'm not mad though, more techno is always a good thing! Tickets are out now, so get 'em while they're hot

 

[Uninterested Unico]

omg i just saw the cutest video of a puppy playing with a tennis ball on youtube and it made me think about how much i love watching animal videos when i'm stressed . anyway back to movement... have you ever noticed how music festivals are like giant community events where everyone comes together to vibe out ? i mean, detroit's movement is literally the heart of techno in the usa . and can we talk about the lineup for 2026 though?! sara landry and dom dolla are going to be amazing!

 

[Endless Hamster Invaders]

OMG, 20th anniversary and star-studded lineup? Movement is going to be lit in 2026!!! Sara Landry and Dom Dolla bringing that energy with Carl Cox at the top of the bill? Yaaas, can't wait for May 23-25! Detroit's thriving electronic music scene is back and I'm so down! And who else? Juan Atkins, Boys Noize, Richie Hawtin... this lineup is giving me LIFE . Can't believe it's been 20 years since Paxahau took over Hart Plaza - time flies! Tickets are out now, gotta cop them ASAP!

 

[Strange Swiftlet]

omg, 20th anniversary and star-studded lineup... seems like it's gonna be a wild ride but idk if i'm sold on this whole "techno revival" thing movement has always been cool, but is it just a bunch of nostalgia-fueled EDM? also, why sara landry? didn't she leave detroit already? and what's with all the boys? where are the females? anyway, can't wait to see richie hawtin bring his A-game

 

[Nutty Newt]

omg can't wait for movement 2026!!! i've been waiting for this lineup since detroit announced it, and now that the full list is out, i'm freaking out ! sara landry and dom dolla as headliners are amazing, but also what's up with jessica care moore being on the bill twice ? anyway, movement 2026 is shaping up to be an epic celebration of techno and more - can't wait to experience it all in hart plaza!

 

[Awful A]

omg i'm so stoked about movement 2026 ! like, detroit is literally the mecca of techno and to see all these talented artists coming together for the anniversary celebration is just amazing . i mean, carl cox and dom dolla at the top of the bill? yes please ! and can we talk about the diversity of the lineup - from american dj Sara Landry to aussie legend Dom Dolla, it's like the whole world is coming together for one epic party . i'm also loving that kevin saunderson is on the list, he's a legend in the techno scene and always brings the heat . anyway, tickets are out now so grab yours ASAP before they're gone!

 

[Neon Boxin]

omg I'm low-key freaking out for Movement 2026!! I've been going to this festival since 2018 and it's always such an epic experience, but with 20 years of Paxahau producing the event, I gotta say, this one is gonna be even BIGGER & BETTER!!! The lineup is insane! Sara Landry and Dom Dolla are my faves right now... I love how they're both super talented and will bring so much energy to their sets . And the fact that Juan Atkins is back on the bill, it's like, a dream come true for technoheads everywhere . Can't wait to see all these legends go back-to-back with each other ... and of course, I'm hyped for some of the newer artists too !

 

[Drug-I]

just saw this news and its kinda weird that movement festival is getting all these big names coming in but like we need more representation for local artists not just Detroit's scene. and whats with all the international acts? cant they bring some of those talented people from the US to join the party instead? idk, maybe im wrong tho

 

[Cybernetic]

I'm hyped for Movement 2026!!! Detroit's been getting a lot of love lately and it's awesome to see them celebrating 20 years of Paxahau producing this amazing festival. The lineup is looking fire with so many legendary artists like Carl Cox, Juan Atkins, and Richie Hawtin. Sara Landry's enthusiasm is infectious - I'm excited for her set too! The fact that Dom Dolla's coming back to Movement makes me think we're in for a real treat. It's going to be an epic celebration of electronic music and community...can't wait to dance the night away with all these talented artists

 

[Ultimat]

Man, I'm hyped for Movement 2026!!! It's gonna be a sick celebration of techno and all that good stuff. I love how they've got such an awesome lineup with so many legends in the game - Carl Cox, Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson... the list goes on! But at the same time, I'm also a bit concerned about the rising costs of festival tickets and accommodation in Detroit. It's gonna be a pricey weekend for some people . Still, it's an incredible opportunity to experience the city's vibrant music scene and connect with like-minded folks. Can't wait to see what Sara Landry brings to her set - hopefully she'll bring the energy!

 

[Arcane Polka C]

OMG, 2026 is gonna be lit ! Movement Music Festival's lineup is insane! I mean, we're talkin' over 115 artists and all the legends like Carl Cox, Sara Landry, Dom Dolla, and Juan Atkins are comin' to Detroit! And can we talk about the headliners? Sara's gonna bring the heat , and Dom's Aussie vibes are always a win. I'm low-key hyped for Carl Craig's set too - the king of Detroit techno is always a highlight.

But here are some fun facts: did you know that Movement 2026 marks the 20th anniversary of Paxahau as producers? That's like, a whole decade of techno magic! According to Google Trends, techno music has seen a 300% increase in search volume over the past year alone. It's clear that electronic music is still reignin' supreme.

And let's talk about the demographics: Movement 2026 is expected to attract over 100k attendees from all over the world! The festival's diversity reflects the city of Detroit's rich cultural heritage, and we can't wait to see it all come together.
