This year’s second annual Detroit Electronic Music Festival is going to be all that. Not only for the reason that De La Soul, DJ Mixmaster Mike, the Beastie Boys, and over 70 other acts are slated to show, but because it’s FREE! This year’s festival, will take place May 26-28 at downtown Detroit’s Hart Plaza and is sponsored by the Ford Motor Co.

There will be four stages set up during the festival, and some local Detroit acts will even spend the weeks before the event talking to kids at schools and community centers about electronic music. A number of hotels in the Detroit area will also be offering exceptional package deals for those fans wishing to be present at this year’s festival.
