Ultra Europe has always been in my dreams of European festivals, and I’m definitely ready to stamp my passport for this year’s edition. Ultra Miami is my favorite festival in the US. Personally, Ultra is HOME. I know what Insomniac Headliners mean when they say they are “going home.” I feel that way every time I spend hours and hours planning my yearly voyage to Ultra Miami. Ultra is an industry leader in Electronic music. Along with their festivals, which are in numerous countries all over the world, they have an incredible reach for talent. The best DJ‘s, producers, and live electronic acts are always something that can be counted on when attending an Ultra event, and Ultra Europe is no exception to this rule.
Ultra Europe is Europe’s Premier Destination Music Festival and for their sixth edition, they have announced a momentous Phase One lineup! Returning to the Poljud stadium in Split, Croatia on July 6-8, ULTRA Europe is one of the most anticipated events of the 2018 international festival calendar.
The famous weeklong ‘Destination ULTRA’ experience will also return, running from July 5-11, with several world-class events spread across seven days of jubilation. This isn’t just your average festival. This is an experience from start to finish. From the stunning Brač Regatta, to ULTRA Beach Hvar, dubbed ‘the greatest pool party on earth’ (The Sun – 2017), to the RESISTANCE Vis closing party at the ancient Fort George on the final day, paradise seekers worldwide will not be left disappointed.
Last year 120,000 attendees from 148 countries enjoyed the weeklong array of events; with ULTRA Europe streamed live via UMFTV reaching 3.3 million viewers worldwide, festivalgoers can expect even more from ULTRA Europe 2018.
