On the announcement, Motion’s Travis Derrick tells Mixmag: “We are elated to share with everyone our first line-ups for 2022, we are extremely proud of this first phase of shows and wanted to make sure that we started the year with a bang. With everything from house to drum ‘n’ bass, disco to techno and so much more, there is an incredibly diverse range of events featuring some of the best artists within each genre.”

“Motion has moved away from the idea of a single ‘club season’ in the winter, with a continuous stream of huge shows all year round. We feel this first phase is the perfect start to rolling out massive shows throughout every season this year, starting as we mean to go on.”

The announcement builds on from Motion’s 20-show programme announced in 2020 - inevitably disrupted due to the pandemic - and embraces the venue’s long-time virtues of collaboration and cooperation.
