WDET 101.9’s The Metro hosts Tia Graham and Nick Austin talk with Movement Festival director, Jason Huvaere, about what to expect this upcoming Memorial Day weekend, organizing an event of this size and where you can pick up your ecstasy and glowsticks in the city where techno—like “The Motown Sound” and proto-punk—was born.
“It’s kind of like putting together, you know, a 1,000 piece puzzle, and giving yourself enough time to do it,” Huvaere said of the event’s staging. “You can’t do that big of a puzzle overnight.”
“We like doing things when there’s a live element to it, that we can’t do throughout the rest of the year. Shows that just won’t fit inside of a club or shows that really are kind of a new idea that has been born from the winter before,” he said.
