New Year�s weekend saw the much-anticipated Phase 1 Lineup of Ultra Music Festival�s Miami showdown make its way around the World Wide Web like wildfire after Avicii leaked the lineup online. If there was ever an excuse to slap �viral� on an announcement then this was it! One week after the Internet frenzy, and the world�s premier electronic dance music festival can now confirm artists that will be performing throughout the 6-day/2-weekend marathon of sound, light and dance. Over the weekends of March 15-17 and March 22-24, Downtown Miami plays host to the event�s 15th year with an unparalleled bill of the best DJs, live acts and future talent this planet has to offer.
The world is already aware that this year�s edition of the iconic festival will mark the final curtain for Swedish House Mafia, who�ve chosen Ultra Music Festival as the �One Last Tour� finale to end where it once began (Ultra Music Festival at Bicentennial Park in 2010). Expect an unforgettable�performance created specially for Ultra Music Festival by�deadmau5,�one of the industry�s most in-demand talents who returns to close out both Saturday nights.� Luminaries who have aided in shaping the movement make appearances across BOTH weekends include Ti�sto, David Guetta, Armin van Buuren and Avicii as well as (in alphabetical order): Above & Beyond, Afrojack, Bassnectar, Calvin Harris, Carl Cox, Fatboy Slim, Kaskade, Knife Party and Richie Hawtin. Of course, Ultra Music Festival wouldn�t be complete without the essential Carl Cox & Friends Arena, which has been announced in addition to Armin van Buuren�s (the world�s #1 DJ) A State Of Trance 600 Arena. �Mixmag�the world�s indispensible clubbing bible�will also slam into the sunshine with an area of their own and who can forget the #1 club in the world, Space Ibiza, bringing Phase 1 of Ultra�s 15th Anniversary to close with the return of their own Space Ibiza Arena.
It is not only the cosmic DJ talent that ensures Ultra Music Festival�s growth year after year, it�s also the LIVE elements that entice thousands of revelers to the Festival�s sun-kissed terrain.�� This year, and again in alphabetical order, live performances includes: The Bloody Beetroots, Booka Shade, Boys Noize, Crystal Castles, Disclosure, DJ Fresh Live, Hot Chip, Major Lazer, Matt & Kim, Modestep, Rudimental, Thievery Corporation, and Yeasayer. All acts are confirmed to make appearances; some returning after more than a year�s absence and some making grand debuts, thus proving the forward-thinking and finger-on-the-pulse nature of Ultra�s festival organizers.� These lineups showcase Ultra�s ability to consistently deliver on talent, both fresh and established!
With all this in mind, let�s not forget this is only Phase 1 of a complete line-up of what is surely to go down as one of ULTRA�s greatest line-ups ever! For now, to enhance the already soaring excitement, you can enjoy another exquisite visual experience from UMF TV and Final Kid�s Charly Friedrichs, director of the epic Ultra Music Festival experience film, �CAN U FEEL IT.�� Get ready for a no holds barred indulgence!
