Movement Festival 2026 just dropped its lineup for May 23–25 in Detroit, the birthplace of techno, so we ran the numbers to see the agencies behind this year’s bill.

Using Booking Agent Info’s music industry directory, we mapped the booking agencies across the lineup, and the clearest signal is that Movement continues to look and feel like a Detroit festival first: it stays anchored in underground dance music, keeps booking Detroit legends and local Detroit artists, and doesn’t drift from the culture that built it.

What’s especially interesting is how that “true-to-origin” identity shows up even outside electronic. Despite being an electronic-first festival, Movement still carved out space for Detroit hip-hop, most notably Danny Brown (whose sound frequently crosses into electronic territory) and Peezy, which reinforces that the festival is programming Detroit as a city, not just techno as a genre.

Wasserman leads the lineup again at 18%, continuing a run at the top over the past couple years, with artists like Dom Dolla, Mochakk, and Josh Baker.

Liaison Artists comes in at 7%, their clients include Hot Since 82, DJ ANNA, and Eats Everything, while WME holds 6% with artists including The Martinez Brothers, Danny Brown, and Ellen Allien.

The most “Movement-coded” data point might be Detroit Premiere Artists at 5%, a Carl Craig led local agency bringing artists like Stacey Pullen and Dames Brown.

UTA accounts for 3%, their artists include Eli Brown, Nia Archives, Oppidan.

Surefire Agency at 2% (DJ Stingray 313, Paul Woolford, X-Altera) and Arcade Talent at 2% (Kevin Saunderson, Louie Vega, Anané Vega).

57% of the lineup sits in “Others,” meaning it’s split across a wide mix of agencies and artists who handle bookings in-house.
