The Detroit festival Mo Pop had to hold off in 2020 and 2021, but this year it's back and amping things up. While it used to be held next to the riverfront, now it's moving into Downtown Detroit to take place in the middle of Hart Plaza. Although it's presented by major concert promoter AEG, Mo Pop tries to take on a more "boutique" vibe, being a bit smaller in scale and focusing on curating a unique experience with a lineup that's largely made up of up-and-comers and featuring events like a craft market and arcade. At this time, the event stresses ticket holders know they may have to adhere to COVID-19 precautions.
