ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL XIV
UNVEILS MASSIVE LINE-UP FOR THREE-DAY EVENT SET FOR MARCH 23, 24, 25
AT BAYFRONT PARK IN MIAMI DURING MIAMI MUSIC WEEK

AND ARMIN VAN BUUREN HEADLINE

ALONG WITH CARL COX, SKRILLEX, AFROJACK, MIIKE SNOW, NEW ORDER, FATBOY SLIM, DUCK SAUCE, M83., KASKADE AND MORE



2011 was an incredible year for festivals and electronic music. With the New Year rapidly approaching, all eyes are focused on what’s to come next with the leader being ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL (ULTRA), the world’s premiere electronic music event. Tickets are moving at lightning speed, only a limited amount remain (with early bird and advance on-sale tickets selling out in record time), so the promoters are highly encouraging fans not to miss out by unveiling the majority of the ULTRA line up on the Phase 1 announcement.

ULTRA is also returning to downtown Miami with Bayfront Park as it’s new location in order to accommodate a larger footprint for increased capacity. Over the last few years, the festival took place at Bicentennial Park but after reaching record-breaking 150,000 in attendance this year, and becoming the first ever, and only 3-day music festival of its kind to completely sell out 150,000 tickets six weeks in advance, ULTRA is moving next door to the tropical, waterfront park nestled between Biscayne Bay and Biscayne Boulevard. The ULTRA team is taking it back to Bayfront, where it last took place in 2005, transforming and customizing the park in a way never seen before.

Each day will be helmed by world-class headliners: TIËSTO and KRAFTWERK Friday, March 23, JUSTICE (live) and AVICII Saturday, March 24 and DAVID GUETTA and ARMIN VAN BUUREN Sunday, March 25. Other confirmed talent, in every genre of electronic music imaginable, includes a wide array of international leading electronic music performers including SKRILLEX, KASKADE, AFROJACK, PRETTY LIGHTS, DUCK SAUCE, BLOODY BEETROOTS (DJ SET), 2MANYDJS (LIVE), BASSNECTAR, CHASE & STATUS (LIVE), FEDDE LE GRAND, KNIFE PARTY and LAIDBACK LUKE, pioneering acts such as NEW ORDER, FATBOY SLIM, and SVEN VATH, cutting-edge bands like M83., MIIKE SNOW, LITTLE DRAGON, NEON INDIAN and METRONOMY and up-and-coming DJs such as SETH TROXLER and JAMIE JONES.

About ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL & UMF WORLDWIDE:

As the world’s most famous outdoor electronic music festival, ULTRA has won “Best Music Event” by the International Dance Music Awards (IDMA) from 2005 to 2011, “Best International Dance Music Festival” by the Ibiza DJ Awards in 2008 and “Best Festival” by the Village Voice Media New Times consecutively five years running from 2005 through 2009. Originally created as a pure EDM (electronic dance music) festival in 1999, ULTRA has grown through the years to present not only the genre’s hottest, biggest and best headline artists (The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Tiësto, David Guetta, deadmau5, Underworld, Kraftwerk, Armin Van Buuren, Moby, Fatboy Slim, Justice, Carl Cox, Avicii and Swedish House Mafia, to name a few), but also crossover headline bands that incorporate EDM elements in their music and have a history or new beginning in the EDM community and culture (The Cure, The Killers, New Order, Duran Duran, The Black Eyed Peas, Erasure, m83, Santogold, The Ting Tings, Bloc Party). Together with its signature cutting edge productions, ULTRA is unrivaled by consistently presenting the World’s greatest, most diverse EDM line-ups year after year.
In 2011, its 13th year in existence, ULTRA had its best year to date with over 150,000 attendees coming from 71 countries and territories and all 50 U.S. states and Puerto Rico. Additionally, 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’, which is scheduled for worldwide release early 2012.0

money talks, the last two years it has been this way.

anyhow, one thing is for sure. if they are saying its almost sold out. Its probably very true. Last year when they said it, tickets were gone in two days.

It doesnt hurt to buy your ticket now and sell it if you decide not to go.

much better lineup than last year i gotta say. Way more balanced across all genres of electronic music.

Really happy that SVEN VATH will be coming to Miami.


Hopefully he'll play at Sunday School too.

I couldn't be happier about Sven too. In fact, it may be the reason I attend this year. Rest assured though you won't see Sven outside of Ultra or Ultra after parties. His name has the red Ultra icon next to it which means he has exclusivity to Ultra and cannot play anywhere else during that week.

Wow sunday def has a massive line up

Someone's always willing to pay. To some money is no object.

id imagine that that sunday ticket would probably fetch a pretty penny....i got in for early birds mostly cuz i have a bunch of noobs that wanted to go...and im the tour guide i guess

ultra sucks!

For those who haven't partied outside of the USA, you're better off saving your money and traveling to Europe for some real parties LOL it's time people step out of this Ultra Bubble

^ I really want to go to Time Warp! But first i need to get a job...

I'm so glad to be done with Ultra. Last and final time was 2008...

While I like to sh*t on Ultra as much as anybody else for its execution, crowds, and such...... I still hold the opinion that if somebody has never been before and is contemplating it, then it is well worth checking out at least once. I am actually somewhat impressed with the initial lineup release this year. I think it would be quite the experience to see Kraftwork live. Add to that New Order, Vath, Fatboy, etc..... and you've got a good mix of legendary names this time around. Not to mention, the Carl Cox tent is an experience in itself and I've always thought the best reason to attend.

Now with all that said, I will not be purchasing a ticket unless Daft Punk gets announced on Phase 2. Since I don't see that happening, I feel hundreds of dollars will be much better spent elsewhere on those days. I've got my fingers crossed that the setup is the same as last year so we can catch Kraftwork on the main stage from our condo.

People love to hate on Ultra but you can't tell me it's not a great time. And the lineup this year is looking real good...all the Circo Loco guys, Sven Vath, Kraftwerk...can't wait. Yeah it's expensive and no I'm not a fan of the all ages policy, but it's an incredible time anyways.

I agree with you... I've always had a good time except one year where it rained, I really don't even mind about the age policy because one thing I like about Ultra is watching people and the costumes they wear...this year will prob be the year that my streak ends.

aww man i missed the deleted comments. someone wanna give me a c0r version?

theres actually some decent stuff on that flyer but its still not worth my money.

VIP tickets are sold out.

I love this part because Bloc Party dropped out and never played. Didn't the Black Eyed Peas noshow? or is that wishful thinking?

Nice corporate write up.

I don't think this lineup is diverse at all. Funny how it goes.

It sucks because last year I said the only way I would ever go again is if New Order reformed and played. doh! As it is now do I want to pay $350 for New Order, Kraftwerk and M83? I love Justice but their new album is getting slammed, meaning they will revert to festival hits and i've already done that. but again... for New Order and Kraftwerk to be playing in the US...

Depending on how it shakes out, I would be more than happy to sell off my Sunday pass. We'd have to meet up sometime Sat night/Sun morning obviously but i'd be down with that. Just a heads up

very insightful

Okay I have never been to Ultra, last year I was on an artist guest list for 2 days and went 0 times (and I was staying in Miami not SoBe). Partly because I was wasted out of my mind from other parties.

Too me its just like any other massive, am I wrong for not wanting to go?

I have been going to massives for the past 15 years here in Ca, the appeal of Ultra just doesn't make it worth it to me.

Am I jadded? I know I can't be the only one. Because the reality is, you can see who ever you want on the line up at a smaller better party during that week (for the most part). So I usually opt for that.

I skipped last year because I couldn't afford it primarily, but I don't even really miss it. Sure its a good time but man does it get old after 4-5 hours. Its SO crowded and what I've noticed over the past few years is that its turned from the normal raver crowd to the spring breaker crowd, so instead the normal EDM crew you have a bunch of drunk assholes (i.e. bros) trying to start mosh pits and fight. Fuck all that nonsense IMO. I still go to Miami every year to see all the other shit that goes on though, smaller clubs are just better experiences all around.
