Part of our ongoing curation of what it means to live, love, and play in the Magic City.
Ultra Music Festival is back at Bayfront Park for its 27th edition — March 26, 27, and 28, 2027 — and Phase 1 just landed with the kind of lineup that makes you set a calendar reminder before you finish reading.
The 2026 edition sold out and drew 165,000 people over three days from more than 100 countries, with 42.5 million more watching through the #ULTRALIVE broadcast. The bar was already high. Phase 1 clears it.

The Headliners
Calvin Harris returns to Ultra Miami for the first time since 2024. Martin Garrix, who first played this festival at 17 in 2014, headlines again. And then there are the matchups: the world debut of Marshmello b2b Subtronics, and the U.S. debut of Boris Brejcha b2b Eric Prydz, who performs under his darker Cirez D alias. That last one alone is worth the weekend.
The Mainstage Regulars
AFROJACK brings a live set to Ultra Miami for the first time. Armin van Buuren returns — an Ultra fixture since 2005 — while his A State Of Trance brand hits its 15th Ultra Miami takeover. Dom Dolla plays his first solo Ultra Miami set since 2022. Steve Aoki is back. STMPD RCRDS takes over a stage for the first time since 2022 to mark its 10th anniversary.
The Underground
RESISTANCE programs the MegaStructure and The Cove again, and the underground bill is stacked. Adam Beyer headlines and gives Drumcode its first RESISTANCE takeover. Sara Landry returns with the U.S. debut of Sara Landry x Divine Intervention, a new audiovisual show built around her second album. Mau P brings his Baddest Behaviour brand to Ultra for the first time with a full stage takeover. Miss Monique debuts her BIORHYTHM audiovisual show at a U.S. festival. Also on the techno bill: Michael Bibi, I Hate Models, Indira Paganotto, and the U.S. debut of Nico Moreno b2b NOVAH.
The Live Stage
Ultra is opening the Live Stage for the first time, and SOFI TUKKER headlines it with the festival debut of their live show, SOFI TUKKER Presents Animal Talk. They’ll also curate a full stage takeover — the first curated Live Stage takeover in Ultra history.
First-Timers and One-Offs
DJ Pee .Wee (Anderson .Paak’s DJ alias) will probably play a funk- and soul-leaning set. BUNT. and it’s murph make their Ultra Miami debuts. Alison Wonderland and Tiffany Day team up for their first festival b2b. Liquid Stranger returns for the first time since 2023. Boys Noize, Klangkuenstler, and masked hard dance act HOLY PRIEST round out the first wave.
Six Stage Takeovers Confirmed
A State Of Trance, Alteza Records, Animal Talk by SOFI TUKKER, Baddest Behaviour, Drumcode Records, and STMPD RCRDS. Alteza — Vini Vici’s label — returns for its second dedicated psytrance showcase after becoming Ultra’s first-ever psytrance stage in 2025.
Phase 2 is coming. Tickets are on sale now at ultramusicfestival.com.
The PGM Edit
Phase 1 is already a statement. Phase 2 will finish the sentence.
