Movement Torino is an electronic music festival, held each year in the northern Italian cultural city of Turin.
Born in 2006 as the European branch of the Detroit Electronic Music Festival, the festival has come to be known in Italy simply as Movement, such is the weight it holds as one of the leading electronic festivals in Europe; indeed, in 2016 it received official patronage from the European Commission.
As well as iconic performances in the Lingotto Fiere from contemporary Techno legends, the festival has carefully cultivated its workshops and talks over the years making it much more than a dance party.
The European counterpart to the legendary Detroit festival, Movement is held every year in Turin, Italy. Constantly the major indoor dance event in Italy in terms of numbers and quality of the acts, quite soon it started to spread all over the city with several collateral events, parties, workshops, lectures in addition to the main venues, which are set to a capacity of an average attendance of 20,000. Its line up is always devoted to absolute quality, as it bears a tradition and distinction that’s simply outstanding and deeply connected with the truest and most important roots of techno and house. All the major names within the techno and house game have been involved through the years (name one, he or she has played there…), and serving their sets there is always, year by year, a state-of-the-art sound and lights infrastructure.
