Curated Stages and Showcases

Day 1 (Saturday, May 25): Homegrown yet internationally known, the Detroit Love showcase returns to the Stargate Stage. Carl Craig has curated a lineup only possible in Detroit, with Kenny Larkin and Octave One performing live, and DJ sets from Seth Troxler, Stacey Pullen, and local legends Al Ester and Earl ‘Mixxin’ McKinney going back to back.

Day 2 (Sunday, May 26): Swedish-producer and live performance master Sebastian Mullaert brings his acclaimedCircle Of Live concept for a special pop-up performance. He will be joined by multi-instrumentalist Mathew Jonson, Techno luminary VRIL, and legendary Detroit musician Amp Fiddler for a one of a kind experience, where collaboration and ingenuity will coalesce to form music that has never been heard before. Location information will be announced closer to the festival. 

Unifying technology and the dancefloor, the PLAYdifferently curated lineup on the Pyramid Stage is pulling out all of the stops. Founder Richie Hawtin is joined by ANNA, Ukranian star Nastia, the indomitable Chris Liebing, and Detroit’s own Asher Perkins & Rex Sepulveda making the festival debut of their new live show, all with the MODEL 1 mixer at the center of the action. 

Known for intrepid curation, Origins will be taking over the Stargate Stage on Sunday, May 26. A healthy Detroit injection comes from Andrea Ghita, Ataxia, Norm Talley, and Women on Wax founder DJ Minx. International starsFisher and Patrick Topping set the stage for Kevin Saunderson and his sons, The Saunderson Brothers, going back to back.

Day 3 (Monday, May 27): To launch their 20th-anniversary celebration in 2019, Ghostly International continues its longstanding partnership with Movement by helping curate the Red Bull Presents Stage. The event features live performances and DJ sets from some of the label’s artists like Audion and Shigeto, alongside favorites beyond the roster, including Yaeji and Madlib.

We also get a view into the Resident Advisor Underground Stage schedule from day to day.

RA kicks off on Saturday, May 25th, with sets from LSD (the trio of Luke Slater, Function, Steve Bicknell), Neil Landstrumm, STERAC, Tin Man (playing live), Umfang and Brian Kage.

Sunday, they’ve got Detroit-Berlin transplant (and Panorama Bar favorite) Ryan Elliott playing alongside Heiko Laux, Midwestern rave scene hero Noncompliant, Oscar Mulero, Volvox and Craig Gonzalez.

The final day’s program has Tokyo scene star DJ Nobu and Detroit’s own DJ Bone booked alongside “techno boy band” FJAAK and The Advent (both playing live), plus Detroit Techno Militia 2×4 and Remote Viewing Party.
