What is it? As Miami's most steadfast rave festival, Ultra can be relied upon to deliver a massive lineup of hard-hitting EDM, techno, house and underground dance music in the heart of Downtown Miami year after year. It's a beast of a fest, one that beckons thousands of fans from around the world for three days of chest-rattling bass, cutting-edge production and truly over-the-top party vibes.
Why go? So far, this year's performers include Anyma b2b Solomun, Carl Cox, Deadmau5 b2b Pendulum, Dom Dolla and John Summit performing as Everything Always, Four Tet, Richie Hawtin, Axwell, Swedish House Mafia, Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, Martin Garrix, Zedd, Zeds Ded, Alesso, Tiesto, Gesaffelstein, Nero, CloZee and LSDREAM, among others.
Time Out tip: Miami's best day clubs, lounges and dance dens join in on the debauchery with Miami Music Week parties raging from Monday to Sunday all across the city. If you're not up for the festival itself, at least make it out to a pool party, or perhaps a warehouse rave is more your speed.
