What did the People at Mo Pop Festival Want Mo’ of?
Detroit’s Mo Pop Festival, presented by AEG, was back after a 1098-day Covid hiatus. Assuredly the festival, boasting an incredibly diverse crowd and lineup while still showcasing a lot of local love, came back with even mo’ of what the people, artists, and the city want. Even with how fulfilling the 2-day concert carnival comeback was, we still had to ask the artists and attendees, “What do you want mo’ of?”. Here’s what they “told” us (aight, legit, we’re just getting really good at mind reading and body language translating):
