By Ryan Pfeffer
Sep 27, 2016

Yesterday, Ultra Miami took to social media to tease out the first wave of its 2017 tickets.

Early bird general admission tickets (which are available only to those registered...
Ultra Is Turning One of Its Most Popular Stages Into Its Own Festival

By Angel Melendez
Sep 14, 2016

Back in March, one of our favorite stages of Ultra Music Festival was the Resistance stage. We gushed over the giant terrifying spider and its unique "DJ booth.” It was part DJ set, part performance art equipped with its own choreographed show — weird in the best way possible. But even...
The Music Snob in Me Was Wrong About Ultra 2016

By Zach Schlein
Mar 25, 2016

“You complete me!” When most hear this bold, tiptoeing-dangerously-on-the-edge-of-creepy declaration of love, the first thing that comes to mind is that when Tom Cruise steps up to the plate (get it, because baseball?) and tells Renee Zellweger how he really feels about her in the Cameron Crowe classic Jerry Maguire...
Ultra 2016 Shows Us That Sexual Harassment and Assault Are Still Very Real Issues at Music Festivals

By Ryan Pfeffer
Mar 24, 2016

Of all the things I saw at Ultra this year — which included a man in a Hillary Clinton mask, a 50-ton fire-spewing spider, and Porta-Potties that were 87 percent urine — this was the most disturbing: I was walking up the path to the Live Stage behind a couple...
Video: Debauchery and Mayhem Outside the Gates of Ultra 2016

By Kat Bein
Mar 23, 2016

There is perhaps no better people-watching spot than outside the main gates of Ultra Music Festival. Trust us. The fashion, the megaphone-wielding Jesus-preachers — this more entertaining than any Oscar-winning film in the last decade. For the 18th annual Ultra Music Festival, we once again hit the streets with New...
DJ Jubilee on Why Peachfuzz Is Still Her Favorite Party in Miami

By Alexandra Martinez
Mar 23, 2016

When DJ Jubilee visits her hometown (Miami) there are a few spots she needs to hit up. She'll go to "that weird Biscayne beach", to her "homie" Otto von Schirach's sets, but most importantly, to Miami's best hip-hop party, Peachfuzz. Peachfuzz, known around these parts as your girl's favorite party,...

Tucked in the northeast corner of Ultra Music Festival near the UMF Radio stage, dozens are unabashedly grabbing condoms courtesy of the Florida Department of Health. Most pick up the flavored ones that come in pineapple and strawberry varieties, and there the confident few who grab the Magnum XL's. (Just...
Why Were the '90s Making a Comeback at Ultra Miami 2016?

By Angel Melendez
Mar 22, 2016

When Prince decided to party like it was 1999, little did he, or anyone else for that matter, understand the significance of the year. For the purposes of his song, it was the end of the century and thus a reason to celebrate. However, for electronic dance music, it was...
While Miami Was Distracted With Ultra, Jazz in the Gardens Had a Blast

By Elvis Anderson
Mar 21, 2016

There was music for every appetite over this past weekend. While downtown was the neon scene for Ultra Music Festival, Sun Life Stadium offered a change of pace with the 11th edition of Jazz in the Gardens. The Miami Gardens festival offered food alongside jazz, gospel, funk, rock, and R&B...
A Celebration of Male Friendship, AKA the Bromance, at Ultra Miami

By Ryan Pfeffer
Mar 21, 2016

When was the last time you told your bro you loved him? Seriously. When was the last time you looked into his eyes, placed a hand gently on his quadricep, and said, "Hey man, I really care about you." Male friendship is a complicated phenomenon. Taught from birth to internalize our...
The Winners and Losers of Ultra Miami 2016

By Ryan Pfeffer and Angel Melendez
Mar 21, 2016

With Ultra 2016 in the history books, it's time to look back at just who exactly came out on top, and who walked away from Bayfront Park with nothing but regret and a T-shirt soaked in other people's bodily fluids. This year, like every year, we end the weekend with...
Ultra Miami 2016, Day Three: Pendulum and Rabbit in the Moon Reunite, and It Feels So Good

By Ryan Pfeffer, Angel Melendez, Jose D. Duran and Kat Bein
Mar 21, 2016

Well, it's over. In the end, Ultra 2016 saw little rain, great performances, and — save for the Prodigy's last-minute cancellation — minimal hiccups. At 18 years of age, Ultra has matured into a well-oiled festival, running smoothly from the Porta Potty to the Main Stage. Yesterday, the third and...
Ultra Music Festival Miami Announces 2017 Dates

By Ryan Pfeffer
Mar 20, 2016

Ultra is wasting no time getting you excited for next year's festival. Seconds after the final firework of the night exploded, the Main Stage flashed three dates: March 24, 25, and 26, 2017. Ultra ended its three-day run tonight with a stand out performance by Pendulum. Though there were no...
Ultra Miami 2016, Day Two: Deadmau5 Struggles, and Some Unkind Words for Donald Trump

By Ryan Pfeffer, Jose D. Duran, Angel Melendez and Zach Schlein
Mar 20, 2016

Ultra day two didn't exactly get off to a good start. Much of Miami awoke to sporadic showers and threatening dark clouds in the sky. Then, still groggy from the previous day's events, thousands of Ultra attendees cracked open their laptops to learn that the Prodigy, Saturday's Live Stage headliners, were...
Deadmau5 Will Cover for the Prodigy at Ultra 2016

By Ryan Pfeffer
Mar 19, 2016

This morning, around 50,000 hearts were broken when they learned that the highly anticipated Prodigy set was no longer going to happen. But, at least the time slot won't go blank. Deadmau5, who just had his fair share of drama at Spotify's Miami Music Week party, announced on Twitter that he will...
The Prodigy Cancels Ultra Miami Performance

By Ryan Pfeffer and Zach Schlein
Mar 19, 2016

Last night, the Prodigy posted a statement on Facebook saying their upcoming Ultra performance, which was slated to happen on the Live Stage tonight at 11 p.m., would be cancelled. "The Prodigy are very disappointed to announce that they will not be performing at Ultra Music festival on Saturday night,"...
Miike Snow Makes the Most Out of Ultra's Live Stage

By Angel Melendez
Mar 19, 2016

Because Miami is a black hole of traffic nightmares (especially this weekend) and I’m so very Miami myself that tardiness is a way of life, I arrive late to my scheduled interview with Miike Snow at this year’s Ultra Music Festival. Luckily, the Swedish-American indie pop trio do some scheduling...
Ultra Miami 2016, Day One: A Giant Metal Spider Stole Our Hearts

By Ryan Pfeffer, Jose D. Duran, Zach Schlein, Angel Melendez and Kat Bein
Mar 19, 2016

This year, Miami's Ultra Music Festival turns 18-years-old. Which means, under Ultra's new age restrictions, it can finally attend itself (while smoking a cigarette). And the festival's maturity is starting to show. Day one of Ultra was largely a smooth success. Even Mother Nature cooperated (which didn't happen during last...
