Ultra Music Festival Reveals Phase 1 Lineup

Ultra Music Festival will make its triumphant return to its long-time home at Bayfront Park with a stacked lineup of world-class talent and unparalleled production, in what’s slated to be the festival’s most exciting year yet.

The Grammy award-winning producer who received his second Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album yesterday for “HI THIS IS FLUME (MIXTAPE),” Flume will make his Ultra Music Festival debut as a live headliner, careening between drums, synths and a myriad of other instruments to sculpt an avant-garde soundscape on stage. Revered prince of darkness Gesaffelstein will return to the festival’s live stage following his highly-acclaimed performance in 2014, and mark his first Miami performance since debuting his Vantablack VBx2 live show this spring which creates an illusion of infinite depth and blackness.

Genre-bending supergroup Major Lazer is sure to tease unreleased material from their forthcoming fourth studio album in their brand-new live show, which debuted earlier this year. Zedd presents The Orbit will see the three-time Grammy award-winner perform on an LED-backed orbiting structure that revolves on all sides of the producer.
