Ultra Music Festival is set to commemorate its 25th anniversary in spectacular fashion, returning to its iconic home at Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami from Friday, March 28 to Sunday, March 30, 2025. With its milestone event on the horizon, Ultra has unveiled an impressive Phase 1 lineup that underscores its status as the world’s leading electronic music festival.
The highly anticipated lineup includes numerous global debuts, exclusive back-to-back performances, and showcases from some of electronic music’s most celebrated artists. Kicking off the excitement, Ultra revealed the first-ever Anyma b2b Solomun set, a visionary collaboration between Anyma‘s innovative audiovisual artistry and Solomun‘s masterful technical skills. This groundbreaking performance will be a headlining act on the Main Stage, combining cutting-edge visuals, avant-garde soundscapes, and jaw-dropping stage design for a fully immersive experience.
In addition to this historic set, Solomun will bring his Diynamic label to Ultra for the first time, curating a stage takeover at the RESISTANCE MegaStructure. Festival-goers can expect performances from artists like Four Tet and Mau P, alongside a solo headlining set from Solomun himself.
The festival would not be complete without its cornerstone figure, Carl Cox, who will introduce his brand-new Live Show at the RESISTANCE MegaStructure, marking another historic moment for Ultra. Cox’s ‘Carl Cox Invites’ stage will showcase top-tier underground house and techno artists, as well as rising stars, in what promises to be a can’t-miss highlight of the festival.
Continuing the tradition of world-exclusive performances, Ultra 2025 will also present the first-ever deadmau5 b2b Pendulum DJ set. Both deadmau5 and Pendulum will deliver standalone sets as well, with deadmau5 performing a ‘retro5pective’ set, featuring throwback hits, while Pendulum offers a live performance for the first time since 2022.
Fans will also witness the debut of Everything Always, a collaborative project from Dom Dolla and John Summit, and a solo headlining set from Axwell, marking the first time he will perform on Ultra’s Main Stage without Swedish House Mafia.
Trance legends Above & Beyond and Armin van Buuren will return to celebrate the festival’s anniversary, with Armin also hosting a ‘A State of Trance’ stage takeover for the 13th time. Meanwhile, Hardwell, Martin Garrix, and Zedd will bring their electrifying energy to the Main Stage once again, solidifying their status as festival mainstays.
Other major acts on the lineup include LSZEE, a collaborative project between CloZee and LSDREAM, along with long-awaited returns from Gesaffelstein and Nero, both performing at Ultra for the first time in years.
RESISTANCE, Ultra’s esteemed underground brand, will feature headlining performances from Adam Beyer, Charlotte de Witte, and Boris Brejcha, while debut acts like 999999999 and I Hate Models will make their Ultra debuts.
In addition, Ultra 2025 will feature the festival’s first-ever psytrance stage, curated by Vini Vici’s Alteza Records, alongside the return of the Dirty Workz hardstyle takeover.
