Axwell’s First-Ever Main Stage Solo Set

He’s 1/3 of Swedish House Mafia and he will sure be bringing the heat this March. With his first-ever main stage solo set, Axwell is stepping out on his own for a full-throttle, one-of-a-kind experience. Expect massive drops, high-energy house beats, and a journey through his solo hits mixed with timeless EDM anthems. It’s going to be a historic moment, and you can bet the energy of that stage will be absolutely electric.

Carl Cox’s ‘Evolution’ Live Show

Carl Cox’s ‘Evolution‘ set will headline Ultra’s first-ever Carl Cox Invites stage takeover, delivering a powerhouse lineup of live house and techno performances at the RESISTANCE MegaStructure. This takeover will bring together artists who are pushing the boundaries of electronic music from the underground’s most in-demand talents alongside rising stars. The lineup will feature Adam Beyer, Dubfire‘s ‘EVOLV’, Joris Voorn (Live), Carl Cox B2B Christopher Coe, and more.

“This is something I’ve been planning for a long time, and I couldn’t be more excited to bring it to life. I promised you all something special in honor of their 25th anniversary, and this is it!” – Carl Cox

Chase & Status’ New Live Show

The masterminds behind ‘Baddadan’ are taking their game to the next level with a brand-new show at UMF. Known for their high-energy performances and genre-blending beats, the duo is set to deliver an electrifying mix of drum & bass, garage, and electronic bangers, all wrapped in cutting-edge visuals and live instrumentation. Stop by their show for some sick beats and unexpected twists.

Deadmau5 B2B Pendulum

Big things are happening in Miami in March for this duo. Ultra will proudly present the world-debut of Deadmau5 B2B Pendulum DJ set, as well as Deadmau5’s ‘inaugural’ ‘Retro5pective set’, and a special Pendulum live performance. While these two have previously shared the Ultra stage together- 2016 Main Stage for ‘Ghosts ‘N’ Stuff’- this set will mark the first full-scale collaborative performance for these two industry titans.

Everything Always

Bayfront Park is set witness a historic B2B set between these two powerhouse names. Dom Dolla and John Summit- that’s really all I need to say. They love to party and have a good time while cooking up some insane heat- and their Ultra main stage set will be nothing short of this.

NGHTMRE B2B Sullivan King

Get ready to headbang the night away- NGHTMRE and Sullivan King are going B2B for the first time ever. And it’s happening at Ultra Music Festival. These two heavy hitters are set to fuse their unique styles—NGHTMRE’s electrifying trap and bass with Sullivan King’s face-melting metal-infused dubstep—into a high-energy, earth-quaking set. Expect non-stop adrenaline rushes all night long that will leave you breathless and craving more!

Safe to say- UMF is about to drop some serious heat, with fresh faces and epic new sets taking over every stage. Get ready for a wild ride, these debuts are ones you won’t want to miss!
