Electronic music fans celebrate Detroit’s heritage, influence at Movement festival
Detroit — Thousands traveled to the birthplace of techno music Memorial Day weekend to celebrate its Detroit heritage and influence at the Movement Music Festival.
“It’s one of those events that everybody in the city looks forward to every year to kick off the summer here in the city … contributing to the city’s art, culture, and legacy,” said Morin Yousif, a spokesperson for Paxahau, which is producing the event at Hart Plaza in downtown Detroit.
“Day 1 attendance was one of the best we’ve had in recent years, the excitement of the first day along with great weather were major contributors to this,” Yousif said.
The Movement Music Festival is one of the longest-running dance music events in the world, going back to the 2000s.
Micheal Leuffen of Berlin, Germany, was in town for work at Carhartt Work In Progress and decided to get a ticket to stroll around downtown Detroit during the festival. He took a photo of the statue in front of the Coleman A. Young building across the street.
“I’m very much linked to musicians in the city,” he said, adding that he’s been to the festival three times. “I’m coming from Europe, so we have a lot of electronic festivals, DJ-oriented festivals, but I think it’s one of the best in the U.S. and probably the only one where you attract so many people from abroad.
“I know also a lot of people from Germany who are also coming here. It’s really nice for the city as musicians from here say it’s their Christmas. It’s also linked to the heritage of music from Detroit. … And then you have all these little things happening around with new musicians, so it’s not only Movement, it’s the little parties that go around. It’s musically very interesting and true to the world,” said Leuffen, 53.
Kira Lesser, 39, and her partner Tyler Carr brought their young daughter to the festival from Ann Arbor. Carr has been coming to the event for 10 years.
“It’s house music. It’s Detroit. I listen to it. I make it. I used to be a DJ,” Carr said.
Salat Carrillo, 17, and her sister Sabrina, 26, booked a four-day trip to Detroit from Maryland to see their favorite DJ I Hate Models perform Sunday night.
“I think every region always dresses differently. I never been to a festival out here in Michigan. We always stay on the East Coast obviously, so I’m really excited to see what everyone wears,” Sabrina Carrillo said.

Boston — Not a bad place for big-league debut.
The Tigers on Friday placed Zach McKinstry on the 10-day injured list and called up infield prospect Hao-Yu Lee from Triple-A Toledo. He was in the lineup against the Red Sox, batting eighth at Fenway Park.
“We’re excited for Lee to get his feet wet in the big leagues,” manager AJ Hinch said. “He’s a good player. We’ve had him in big league camp the last two years. He hits the ball hard and can play good defense. Now he’s getting his first look at one of the cathedrals in our sport for his debut.”
Part of the decision to call up Lee, and not Jace Jung or Trei Cruz, Hinch said, was where the Tigers are in the schedule. Including Friday against Ranger Suarez, the Tigers will be facing six lefties in the next 12 games.
The right-handed hitting Lee slugged .558 with a .969 OPS against lefties last season.
Coming off an oblique injury this spring, which kept him from playing for Chinese Taipei in the WBC, he’s off to a slow start at Toledo (4 for 26).
“He’s been swinging it better than his numbers indicate,” Hinch said. “Results are so finicky this time of year. He’s coming off a good day (Wednesday). He hit a home run. So it’s good timing for that. He’s been hitting it hard and making good decisions on what to swing at.
“And that is key in transitioning from Triple-A to the big leagues.”
McKinstry exited Wednesday night’s game against the Royals ahead of the eighth inning of the Tigers’ 2-1 victory. He fell hard on the hip twice. Once on a head-first slide at the plate and the other after he was tripped up by Royals’ Jac Caglianone.
“He’s pretty beat up,” Hinch said. “We didn’t want to play short-handed but we’re also hoping to get him back quickly.”
McKinstry stayed back in Detroit and is expected to undergo further evaluations.
“He was doing better today than he was yesterday,” Hinch said. “But he clearly needed a break to heal up.”
Lee, 23, was not made available to the media until after the game. He is No. 6 among the Tigers’ top 30 prospects, according to MLB Pipeline, and was acquired by the Tigers in an August 2023 trade that sent starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Around the horn
Justin Verlander (hip inflammation) did not make the trip to Boston. “We have to respect the soreness and inflammation that he’s dealing with,” Hinch said. “He’s working out and he’s doing everything. It’s just going a little bit slower. We’re going to respect it and give him the time he needs.”
… Lefty reliever Bailey Horn (elbow), who has had his throwing program paused, received a cortisone shot Thursday.
