The
first round of artists for this year's supersized Ultra Music Festival has been
announced, with titans of electronic dance music including deadmau5, Tiësto and
David Guetta all on board to play both weekends of the Miami event. As
previously reported, Swedish House Mafia have chosen Ultra as the final show of
their "One Last Tour."
Downtown
Miami's Bayfront Park will play host to Ultra over the weekends of March 15-17
and March 22-24. It's the first year of the expanded festival.
Other
DJs scheduled to perform include Armin van Buuren, Avicii, Above & Beyond,
Afrojack, Bassnectar, Calvin Harris, Carl Cox, Fatboy Slim, Kaskade, Knife
Party and Richie Hawtin. Live sets by Boys Noize, Crystal Castles, Hot Chip,
Matt & Kim and Yeasayer are also on tap.
More DJs
and live acts will be announced in a "phase 2" announcement coming
soon. A limited amount of tickets are still available at the festival's
website.
Ultra is
the centerpiece of Miami Music Week and this edition marks the festival's
15-year anniversary.
Last
year's festival featured headliner performances from EDM heavyweights David
Guetta, Armin van Buuren and Kaskade, but the biggest moment came courtesy of
Madonna, who made a surprise appearance with then-newcomer Avicii.
