Hundreds of soul music enthusiasts from the United Kingdom plan to make their way to Detroit this month for a series of concerts.

Detroit A-Go-Go, a festival organized by DJ Phil Dick, will take place Oct. 19-22 with 26 scheduled acts.

The festival is focused on what Dick calls the northern soul movement.

"We just love Detroit soul and Motown music," Dick said. "It's been popular in England for decades. Every weekend, thousands of people go out and listen to this music in England."

Artists booked for the festival include: The Elgins, Pat Lewis, Melvin Davis, The Velvelettes, The Contours, Kim Weston, Ronnie McNeir, The Capitols, Yvonne Vernee, JJ Barnes, Gino Washington, Spyder Turner, The Adorables, Lorraine Chandler, Eddie Parker, Dusty Wilson, The Precisions, The Professionals, The Tomangoes, The Fabulous Peps and The Dynamics, according to their website.

The Hotel St. Regis is completely booked for 300 people traveling from the U.K., and shows will take place at Bert's Warehouse Theatre in Eastern Market and Motown Museum.

Although many of the artists are known for their connections to Detroit, Dick said "they're iconic to us in England."

It will be the first Detroit A-Go-Go event. Dick said he's organizing it to show his fellow Brits what Detroit is all about.

"I know it's had its problems, but I love Detroit and I love Detroit people... I want to see these artists perform in their hometown," he said. "There's so many talented artists that a lot of people just pass it by and don't even know what they got."

Tickets, which can be purchased at Bert's Warehouse or online, cost $28 per night or $98 for a full event pass. Each night will consist of five to six live acts plus DJs.

Local and international DJs will be spinning records at Hotel St. Regis throughout the day.
