Ultra Music Festival
ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL celebrated its 18th edition in style this weekend with another hugely successful production at Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami that was sold out months in advance. The World’s Premier Electronic Music Festival welcomed 165,000 Ultranauts from 87 countries worldwide to witness hundreds of world-class DJs and LIVE acts perform across eight state-of-the-art stages and/or installations.



For the millions of fans who couldn’t make it to the sold out event, ULTRA LIVE was on hand again this year, transmitting LIVE across the weekend from a custom-built studio in the heart of the event grounds. To date, a staggering 14+ million people from 152 countries tuned in to watch the live stream and subsequent DJ sets posted online since the event.

For the third year running, Ultra Music Festival® was also the #1 trending item on both Facebook and Twitter across the three days, and received a staggering 5.4 million mentions on social media, which is more than any 3-day music festival in history!

In yet another huge scoop, UMF RADIO™, produced by The Radio Department, delivered the world’s biggest radio broadcast of Electronic Music content ever, transmitting live for 8 hours across 50 networks, in 38 countries.


Designed by Ultra Music Festival’s Creative Director, Richard Milstein and featuring mapping design by V Squared Lab’s, Vello Virkhaus, the colossal Ultra Main Stage was once again hailed a resounding success, as its unprecedented array of mind-boggling LED, immaculate sound and pyrotechnics literally shook its crowds to the core with performances from the likes of Martin Garrix, Hardwell, Pendulum, Knife Party, DJ Snake, Avicii, Zedd, Armin van Buuren, Afrojack, David Guetta, Kaskade, Tiësto, Carnage, Kygo, Steve Angello, Galantis and many more.


The dates for next year's ULTRA have been announced:

Ultra Music Festival takes place on March 24th, 25th and 26th, 2017, during Miami Music Week and is an 18+ event. Miami Music Week runs from March 2st-26th.
