The full line-up for Movement 2008 (the festival formerly known as DEMF) is revealed for the artists performing on the Beatport Stage for the entire weekend.

The annual affair, taking place on the riverside of Hart Plaza in the heart of downtown Detroit over Memorial Day Weekend, features artists heard on a premium sound system from both near and far.

This year’s roster is proving to be far more diverse and wide-ranging than ever.

In addition to the previously announced artist line-up that includes original DEMF co-founder Carl Craig, Cobblestone Jazz, DBX (Daniel Bell), Egyptian Lover and Speedy J, the Beatport Stage adds both more established and up-and-coming acts into the mix.

Some of the artists appearing on the Beatport Stage this year include live sets from Par Grindvik, Deadmau5, Alex Under, Heartthrob and Mathias Kaden, plus DJ appearances by Konrad Black, Marco Carola, Richie Hawtin, Davide Squillace, Josh Wink, Dubfire and more.

Considering the wealth of talent in the first phase of artists announced for the festival on Beatportal thus far — plus this latest round, and knowledge that more are on the way — Beatportal is quite astounded that the admission price remains at a low, limited-time $40 for the entire three days.

Of course, a VIP option is also available at a rate of $175, which is still a steal if you tried to individually purchase VIP tickets for any, say, three of your favorites listed at a major club.

Oh, and did we mention the legacy of Detroit long being considered the birthplace of techno?
