Detroit's storied techno festival returns
A quarter-century after the now-iconic techno festival debuted, Movement is still thrumming, ushering in summer in Detroit.
Why it matters: The Memorial Day weekend-long party hearkens back to techno's roots with Black artists here in Detroit, while expanding its reach to global audiences across genres and new, experimental sounds.
Between the lines: Headliners include Belgian DJ Charlotte de Witte and John Summit, an American whom Rolling Stone recently called"one of the most in-demand DJs around."
Local performers will dominate the stages, too — hometown techno legends like Kevin Saunderson, Carl Craig, Mike Banks and Stacey Hotwaxx Hale.
And it's not just about music. This year's artist in residence is graffiti artist Goldie, who will be creating a mural installation during the festival called "Love: Detroit."
What they're saying:"We're super excited to have the (Detroit-based) Underground Music Academy showcase. That's something new this year," Morin Yousif of organizer Paxahau tells Axios.
"It's a collaboration that we have done with the school that's headed by artist and producer Waajeed, who's also playing the festival. It's awesome because we're getting to showcase some of the young and fresh talent in the city."
Catch up quick: Movement started in 2000 as the Detroit Electronic Music Festival, a revolutionary gambit when this kind of music was still underground. Amid financing troubles and naysayers, it almost didn't happen, but it found great success.
It's gone through several producers and iterations since then. It currently sees around 30,000 attendees a day.
If you go: The six-stage festival is at Hart Plaza downtown, Saturday and Sunday 2pm-midnight and Monday 2-11pm.
General admission three-day passes are $365 and VIP tickets with fast entry and relaxation areas are $449, though they're selling fast. General admission day passes are $206.
You can rent a locker so you can store that bag and free your hands up for some intricate dance moves.

'Grandpa robber' behind Kim Kardashian Paris heist recalls that 2016 night
Kim Kardashian made a defiant walk into Paris' Palace of Justice in May, to face the criminals who held the reality star at gunpoint and robbed in 2016. The trial's shocking outcome would only prompt more questions. Ten suspects, dubbed the "Grandpa Robbers" by French media because most of them were in their 60s and 70s, stood trial in Paris for the notorious 2016 jewel heist that terrorized the reality star. ABC News Studios' "IMPACT x Nightline: Inside the Kim Kardashian Heist" is streaming only on Hulu. Despite finding eight of the 10 suspects guilty of crimes related to the 2016 heist, the French court allowed all defendants to walk free, with some receiving suspended sentences or credit for time already served. The judge cited the defendants' ages and health concerns as reasons for leniency. Two were acquitted. The crime occurred during Paris Fashion Week in October 2016, when Kardashian was staying at the exclusive "No Name Hotel," reportedly known for hosting celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and Madonna. That night, while Kardashian's security detail accompanied her sister Kourtney to a nightclub, the robbers struck. In an interview with ABC News, Yunice Abbas, one of the convicted robbers, said he didn't even know who Kardashian was at the time. "I was always told 'wife of an American rapper,'" Abbas said. The robbers, wearing fake police jackets, first confronted the hotel's night concierge, Abderrahmane Ouatiki. They forced him at gunpoint to lead them to Kardashian's suite. "When you feel the cold steel of a gun on the back of your neck, you have to be calm," Ouatiki told ABC News. "You have to be wise in such situations." The thieves escaped with more than $6 million worth of jewelry, including Kardashian's upgraded 18.8-carat wedding ring from then-husband Kanye West. In their hasty bicycle getaway, Abbas admitted to falling and spilling some of the stolen jewels on the street. Following the verdict, Kardashian, who has become an advocate for criminal justice reform, released a statement. "While I'll never forget what happened, I believe in the power of growth and accountability and pray for healing for all. I remain committed to advocating for justice, and promoting a fair legal system." The outcome of the trial surprised even the defendants. When asked if he expected the lenient sentence, Abbas responded with a simple "No" as he left the courthouse a free man. The unexpected verdict left some questioning the French justice system. "I respect Kim Kardashian, but I call foul. Justice was not served," legal commentator Nancy Grace told ABC News. "They should be in jail for what they did."
