Rap icons Public Enemy have been scheduled to headline and perform
at this year’s Movement Electronic Music Festival which takes place in
Detroit during Memorial Day weekend.
In addition to their headlining performance on Sunday, May 27,
Public Enemy will be previewing new music from their upcoming album, Most of
My Heroes Still Don’t Appear On No Stamp, which is set for release later
this year along with a second brand-new album titled The Evil Empire of Everything.
In 2011 alone, the Movement Electronic Music Festival drew a
crowd of almost 100,000 fans to Detroit’s Hart Plaza. In an interview
with Billboard, festival artist coordinator Chuck Flask said, “Our lineup
for 2012 is comprised of artists who are innovators in their own right and who
have deep roots within the underground worlds of their respective musical genres.
With Movement, our goal is always to book artists who represent the purest form
of the music we all fell in love with, whether they have been doing it for decades,
or are an emerging talent new on the scene. With this announcement, we are well
on our way to achieving our goal.”
Other performers at this year’s festival inciude Lil’
Louis, Mr. Oizo, Busy P, Damian Lazarus, Major Lazer, Radio Slave, and many
more. In addition to Movement’s five stages, the festival will feature
art exhibits and an interactive technology center.
