Miami, are you ready? Ultra Music Festival, the ultimate electronic dance music extravaganza, is back and bigger than ever as it celebrates a major milestone — its 25th year in the Magic City! Taking over Bayfront Park from March 28 to 30, 2025, this legendary festival just dropped its Phase 1 lineup, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the most unforgettable years in Ultra history.
Whether you’re a festival veteran or a first-timer looking for the experience of a lifetime, Ultra 2025 is ready to deliver with a lineup that will have everyone dancing for days. Fans can expect an insane roster of artists, iconic B2B (back-to-back) sets, never-before-seen performances, and the kind of mind-blowing production that only Ultra can provide.
The EDM Stars Are Coming Out Phase 1 has officially been unleashed, and it’s packed with some of the biggest names in electronic dance music. Leading the charge are Anyma and Solomun, who will go B2B on the festival’s main stage, creating a blend of melodic techno and house that will set the vibe for an unforgettable weekend. Not to be outdone, Dom Dolla and John Summit will also join forces on the main stage under their Everything Always alias, marking their first time bringing their infectious beats to Miami’s biggest party.
Also making waves is the one and only Deadmau5, who’s slated to perform an exclusive “retro5pective” set. This special career-spanning performance will take fans on a nostalgic journey through his greatest hits — it’s Deadmau5 like you’ve never seen him before! Joining him is drum-and-bass royalty Pendulum, performing both solo and B2B with Deadmau5 in what is sure to be an epic collaboration.
Of course, no Ultra would be complete without some of its all-star regulars. Armin van Buuren, Carl Cox, Afrojack, Tiësto, Martin Garrix, and Hardwell will be there to raise the roof with their signature sounds. Plus, fans will be treated to the first-ever solo headlining set from Swedish House Mafia member Axwell, bringing his distinct house grooves to the main stage.
More Firsts, More Surprises In true Ultra fashion, there are plenty of surprises to keep fans buzzing with excitement. Above & Beyond, the kings of trance will return to the Ultra stage for the first time in six years, delivering their euphoric soundscapes to thousands of ecstatic fans. And if you thought that was it, think again. Richie Hawtin is set to debut his brand-new DEX EFX X0X show, a mind-bending blend of minimal techno and cutting-edge visuals that will take the festival’s underground vibes to the next level.
But perhaps the most exciting news is that Gesaffelstein, the enigmatic dark prince of techno, will make his triumphant return to Ultra for the first time in a decade. Prepare for an intense and atmospheric set that will leave you breathless. And for all the psytrance lovers out there, Ultra is launching its first-ever psytrance stage, curated by Alteza Records, the label led by psytrance heavyweights Vini Vici.
An Epic Lineup Across the Spectrum Phase 1’s lineup doesn’t stop there. Brace yourself for the full-throttle sounds of Zedd, the raw power of Subtronics, the industrial grooves of Charlotte de Witte, and the creative energy of Four Tet. Bassheads will be thrilled to see Zeds Dead on the bill, while house and techno fans can get excited for Eli Brown, Artbat, and Miss Monique. And let’s not forget Nero, Lsdream, and Mau P, who are all set to bring their distinctive flavors to Miami’s electric landscape.
With 2025 marking Ultra’s monumental 25th anniversary, it’s safe to say that the team behind the festival is pulling out all the stops. This is only Phase 1, and we’re already shaking with anticipation for the Phase 2 and 3 announcements — if this is the beginning, we can only imagine what else Ultra organizers have in store. As always, Ultra’s production is second to none, featuring jaw-dropping stages, mind-blowing visuals, and pyrotechnics that will light up the Miami sky like never before.
