Ultra Music Festival is an experience like none other. This coming March 23rd through March 25th, surrounded by water at Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami, electronic music comes alive to the sounds of some of the best techno music from the hottest artists in the business. There will be 24 stages of music to keep you going over the three days.
What began as a one-day event in 1999, has turned into a sold-out three day performance that draws crowds in excess of 100,000 people from over 71 countries across the world.
Performers hail from all parts of the globe as well. World renowned DJ’s, artists and bands such as Armin Van Buuren, Afrojack, Carl Cox, David Guetta, Ferry Corsten, Kaskade, Sander Van Doorn and TIESTO will get the crowd up and dancing in addition to over 375 other talented performers. This year promises to give attendees one of the most impressive line-ups yet.
Tee-shirts, hats, totes and all kinds of merchandise will be available for purchase so you can make the memories last.
Sponsors for the exciting event include Heineken, Heineken Light, Space Ibiza, Sirius Satellite Radio and Root Society.
The D.J. Mix Competition will also be part of the festival where D.J’s give it all they got to win the coveted title of Grand D.J.
It is important to note that Ultra Music Festival continues to make history by selling out tickets for three consecutive years totaling more than 450,000 tickets combined. This was before a lineup was even announced. No other 3-day festival in the international electronic music community has yet to achieve this record.
This music world has rocked the masses. Production began on the feature-length HD concert film/documentary ‘Can U Feel It’, the highly anticipated follow-up to 2004’s ‘The UMF Experience’ and fans will be glad to learn that the worldwide release is set for early 2012.
See what all the excitement is about. Ultra Music Festival was voted Best Music Event for 2011 and in the land of sun, surf and stupendous music, you definitely won’t be disappointed. Get your dancing shoes and come on down!
