Miami is set to radiate music and energy once again as the Ultra Music Festival gears up for its 27th edition, scheduled to take place from March 26 to 28, 2027. With the official unveiling of its Phase 1 lineup, attendees can expect a powerful assembly of talent that spans the electronic music spectrum—promising exhilarating performances, exclusive collaborations, and innovative live concepts.
A Stellar Lineup at Bayfront Park
Returning to Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami, the festival will feature some of the biggest names in the electronic music scene, including Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, Marshmello, Subtronics, Armin van Buuren, and Steve Aoki, among over 25 other headlining acts. The 2027 event follows a sold-out 2026 edition that attracted approximately 165,000 attendees from across the globe, reinforcing Ultra’s reputation as a must-attend event for music lovers.
Exclusive Collaborations Make Waves
This year’s lineup announcement emphasizes rare performances, including the world debut of Marshmello B2B Subtronics and the U.S. debut of Boris Brejcha B2B Eric Prydz presents Cirez D. These collaborations are a testament to Ultra’s dedication to providing unique experiences that resonate with fans. The Marshmello and Subtronics pairing stands out due to their contrasting styles: while Marshmello often melds melodic sounds with pop and hip hop, Subtronics is a titan in modern dubstep, known for his intricate soundscapes and heavy bass. Their collaboration is anticipated to deliver a dynamic performance, weaving together melodic hooks with vigorous drops.
Similarly, the collaboration between Brejcha and Prydz, featuring the latter’s Cirez D persona, promises to infuse the festival with high-tech minimalism merged with darker, melodic techno—a revolutionary element for the Ultra stage. This inventive approach to artist pairings keeps the festival fresh and exciting, encouraging attendees to experience performances they might not otherwise encounter.
Celebrating Music Legends
Ultra Miami has always been a platform for electronic music legends, and the return of Calvin Harris is a highlight for many fans. A GRAMMY-winning producer known for his iconic collaborations with artists like Rihanna and Dua Lipa, Harris last graced the Ultra stage in 2024 and his return is expected to be nothing short of spectacular.
Similarly, Martin Garrix, a mainstay at Ultra since his dramatic debut in 2014, will bring his STMPD RCRDS label stage takeover to the event—an exciting development as it celebrates its 10th anniversary. His performances, beloved for their energy and crowd engagement, always leave a memorable impact on the festival.
Another beacon in the lineup is Australian house producer Dom Dolla, who will perform solo at Ultra for the first time since 2022. Known for his infectious beats, Dolla’s set is likely to be a highlight for house music fans.
The RESISTANCE Experience
Ultra’s RESISTANCE programming promises to delve into the deeper, underground sounds of house and techno. Venues like the MegaStructure and The Cove will showcase an array of artists, including Sara Landry, Mau P, and Adam Beyer, who brings his influential Drumcode label to its inaugural RESISTANCE stage takeover.
Landry will introduce her new show, Divine Intervention, designed with a captivating visual concept to accompany her upcoming album. Meanwhile, Mau P will take over the MegaStructure, celebrating his Baddest Behaviour brand. These performances emphasize Ultra’s commitment to presenting the full spectrum of electronic music, making the festival an inclusive experience for all fans.
Curated Stage Takeovers Enhance Diversity
Ultra 2027 is set to elevate the experience with six curated stage takeovers, emphasizing collaboration and exploration of different genres. SOFI TUKKER will return to lead a takeover of Ultra’s Live Stage with their Animal Talk live show—marking a historic first for the festival. This duo is celebrated for their engaging performances that blend electronic beats with Brazilian influences.
Other notable takeovers will include Martin Garrix’s STMPD RCRDS and Mau P’s Baddest Behaviour, along with beloved frameworks like Armin van Buuren’s A State Of Trance and Vini Vici’s Alteza Records. Each curated stage will not only celebrate the artists’ individual sounds but also promote a greater sense of community among attendees.

Liquid Stranger will make his return, sharing his experimental flair in bass music with exclusive performances. Additionally, artists like Boys Noize, Klangkuenstler, and HOLY PRIEST will further diversify the festival’s sound with their unique takes on techno and hard dance.
