The Pyramid and Waterfront stages at Movement 2025

The original article's stage lineups are fabricated; the real Movement 2025 bookings contradict its entire premise.

Recommend drop. The original is factually wrong on its core premise. It claims the Pyramid Stage ran Mau P, Patrick Topping, Sammy Virji, John Summit and Klangkuenstler, and that the Waterfront Stage ran Loco Dice, Nicole Moudaber, Seth Troxler, Jamie xx and Honey Dijon. The official Movement 2025 program (verified via 5 Magazine's set-times listing and CBS Detroit) shows none of that: the Pyramid Stage ran Joris Voorn, MK and Skepta on Saturday, a KMS Records showcase curated by Kevin Saunderson on Sunday, and DJ Minx's House Your Life takeover (including Seth Troxler and Ricardo Villalobos) on Monday, while the Waterfront Stage ran a left-field and bass program (Ben UFO, Avalon Emerson, Ela Minus, Goldie b2b Photek, Chase & Status, Sara Landry, HiTech). The article's thesis that these two stages carried "tech-house and crossover headliners" is the opposite of the actual bookings, and its capacity, revenue, and "most-photographed" claims are unverifiable invention. There is no salvageable accurate spine, so this should be dropped rather than rewritten.
