Photos: John Summit and Dom Dolla Close Out the First Day of Ultra 2025

On Friday, March 28, Ultra Music Festival kicked off its 25th edition with a packed lineup of the biggest DJs and producers in EDM, house, tech-house, drum ‘n’ bass, techno, and more. The cool weather and clear skies meant festivalgoers could comfortably enjoy performances by Afrojack, TiÁ«sto, Boris Brejcha, Alesso, John Summit, Dom Dolla, and many others.

The biggest surprise on the first day was when David Guetta and Sia appeared during Afrojack’s set on the Main Stage to perform “Titanium” together for the first time. Another highlight came when Summit and Dolla brought their Everything Always collaboration to the Main Stage to close out the day.

Below, check out the highlights from the first day of Ultra 2025 from photographer Michele Eve Sandberg.
