Miami is set to host the 22nd edition of the Ultra Music Festival in 2022. The event will take place from 25-27th March, and will be celebrating its 15 year anniversary as it moves into the 2020s decade.
Ultra Music Festival is the world’s most famous electronic music festival. Started in 1999 and named after a Depeche Mode album, Ultra has grown to be one of the biggest festivals on this continent.
This festival is known for two things: a perennially stacked lineup and an all-out party atmosphere. Each year 165,000 people pack into Bayfront Park to not only hear the biggest names in electronic music and hip hop but also get down with some of their favorite DJs as well.
Every electronic genre is covered, but some of the biggest names in house music and beyond make a pilgrimage to Miami every year.
The Ultra Music Festival draws 70,000 party people every year from the world over. “It is a celebration of life,” says international DJ Armin Van Buuren about this major event in Miami that celebrates all things fresh and new with fireworks displays and laser shows across multiple stages.
Ultra Music Festival is a festival that has it all: amazing music, an international audience. The performers are the best of their kind and span across the world to give you some of today’s hottest hits before they hit radio stations near you.
