Yesterday, Ultra announced the Resistance lineup, which includes a mixture of acts that were previously announced in the Phase 1 lineup and a few surprises.
Acts joining the lineup include Adam Beyer, Pan-Pot, Stephan Bodzin, Chris Liebing, Matador, Danny Tenaglia, Better Lost Than Stupid (Davide Squillace, Mattias Tanzmann, and Martin Buttrich), Nic Fanciulli, Pete Tong, Guti, wAFF, Technasia, B.Traits, Christian Smith, Coyu, Elio Riso, Frankie Bones, Jon Rundell, and Marco Bailey.
Resistance positions itself as the "underground" counterpoint to the more EDM-style offerings that have taken over the festival's main, Ultra Worldwide, and live stages. Before dance music's rise to Billboard-chart-topping status, a division like this would have been unnecessary. Ultra used to divide stages more by genre and less by perceived popularity. Also back then, it wasn't unusual to see the main stage mix it up a bit. Sometimes live bands even appeared.
Resistance made its debut at Ultra in 2015 as a single stage specializing in techno and deep house. The concept proved so popular in 2016 the festival spun it off, holding stand-alone Resistance events around the world. Last year, at the Miami festival, Ultra gave the brand an even larger presence when it expanded the offerings to two stages.
