Ultra Music Festival 2027: A Sneak Peek into the Future of Dance Music
After welcoming an impressive 165,000 attendees from over 100 countries during its sold-out 2026 edition, the Ultra Music Festival is already igniting excitement for its upcoming event. The festival returns to its illustrious home at Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami for its 27th edition from March 26–28, 2027. With Phase 1 of the lineup showcasing over 25 headliners from the electronic dance music scene, festival-goers can expect major returns, exciting collaborations, and innovative performance concepts that push the boundaries of the festival experience.
Headliner Highlights: A Star-Studded Return
Among the most anticipated returns is the chart-topping sensation Calvin Harris, who last graced the Ultra Miami stage in 2024. He joins fellow electronic giants like Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, Steve Aoki, and Dom Dolla, all of whom are set to delight audiences once again. Notably, AFROJACK is gearing up for a live set at the festival, marking his debut in this format at Ultra. Meanwhile, Dom Dolla will take the stage for his first solo performance since 2022 after an electrifying B2B set with John Summit in 2025.
Innovative Back-to-Back Sets
Phase 1 also introduces two exhilarating B2B (back-to-back) performances that are generating a buzz within the music community. Catch Marshmello and Subtronics as they team up for a world-debut set, promising an unforgettable fusion of their unique styles. Additionally, experience the much-anticipated U.S. debut of Boris Brejcha B2B Eric Prydz Presents Cirez D. This partnership cleverly blends the high-tech minimal sound of Brejcha with the darker techno elements of Prydz’s Cirez D alias, setting the stage for a mesmerizing auditory experience.
New Concepts and Concepts Unveiled
The festival is not just about returning favorites; it’s also a canvas for new auditory ventures. Sara Landry is set to present the U.S. debut of Sara Landry x Divine Intervention, an ambitious venture that coincides with her forthcoming sophomore album. The visually stunning showcase aims to offer a fresh perspective on her captivating artistry.
Further enriching the lineup, RESISTANCE, known for its underground experience, will host an array of new concepts. Mau P will take the reins of the Baddest Behaviour stage, while Adam Beyer’s Drumcode promises its first dedicated RESISTANCE stage showcase. The U.S. festival debut of Miss Monique Presents BIORHYTHM adds yet another layer of innovation, alongside the collaborative performance of Nico Moreno B2B NOVAH.
A Curated Live Stage Experience
Marking an exciting milestone, SOFI TUKKER returns for the first time since 2022 to present SOFI TUKKER Presents Animal Talk. This unique segment will not only showcase their own live performance but also the first-ever artist-curated takeover of the Live Stage in Ultra’s history. This pioneering concept opens the door for further artist involvement in shaping festival experiences.
Other notable mentions in Phase 1 include the highly anticipated set from Alison Wonderland B2B Tiffany Day, as well as the return of Liquid Stranger, who hasn’t performed at Ultra since 2023. The lineup also welcomes diverse talents such as DJ Pee .Wee (the DJ persona of Anderson .Paak), alongside BUNT., it’s murph, Boys Noize, Klangkuenstler, and HOLY PRIEST.
Celebrating Milestones Across Stage Brands
