Festivals in Michigan

Michigan lives its music through two sonic capitals. In Detroit, the global birthplace of techno, Hart Plaza ignites every Memorial Day with Movement Detroit, a pilgrimage for electronic fans who come to honor the city that invented the genre. Two hours away, on the shores of Lake Michigan, the pines of Rothbury host Electric Forest and its illuminated woods at the Double JJ Ranch, where jam-band grooves meet heavy bass deep into the night. Two worlds, one state that never sleeps once summer arrives.

Out west, Grand Rapids owns its title as Michigan's rock capital: at Belknap Park, Upheaval Festival unleashes its guitars in July before Breakaway Michigan turns the same grounds into an electro cathedral in August. Further south, the woods of Brooklyn cradle the laid-back camping of Big Fam Festival. FestT calculates your FestiScore — the match between a lineup and your favorite artists — and keeps dates, headliners and ticketing up to date, so you never miss a single one of these Midwest nights.
