The Movement Electronic Music Festival is approaching its final  hours this Memorial Day evening in Detroit’s Hart Plaza.

The 3-day event is a staple of American summer music festivals and features performances from legends like Richie Hawtin, Carl Craig, Sven Vath and Green Velvet.

With Paul Kalkbrenner, Adam Beyer, and Fatboy Slim preparing to close out the night at their respective stages in about an hour, some beautiful weather created the perfect setting for the party this weekend. Check out the action below.

After a successful run last year in the U.S., the Spanish Sonar Festival comes to Chicago this September for a free, three-day-long, multi-location extravaganza.

Thursday September 9th at Millennium Park’s Jay Pritzker Pavilion and then at the Chicago Cultural Center on the 10th and 11th, Chicagoans will be extended the opportunity to experience the internationally-acclaimed Sonar Fest.
