The Stages
Six stages were assembled to house the over 100 artists slated to perform. Red Bull Music Academy held it down on the main stage again this year that was set up in an amphitheater fashion that encased gigantic 2’x2’ cement stairs ensuring there wasn’t a bad seat in the house. The Underground Stage was basically a cement cave with an unparalleled sound quality. The Beatport Stage was shacked up once again on the riverfront where floor level fans funneled in and another set of massive cement stairs lined the area to the left. Massive LED screens donned the stage and provided an awe-inspiring show. The Moog stage was brought in for the first time this year in the grassy area behind the VIP and played host to the “EDM Lovers”. The Silent Disco (a new concept this year) was powered by FORD and Sennheiser and provided headphones for fans to listen to local talent rip the decks. Last but not least was the Made in Detroit Stage which was also presented as the “Origins” showcase to celebrate those who paved the way for this festival and the music surrounding it. The Made In Detroit Stage was set up street-side and offered those who wanted to dance in the streets A TON of local love.
