Ultra Music Festival has unveiled the Phase One lineup for its 27th edition, returning to Bayfront Park in downtown Miami, Florida, March 26–28, 2027. The announcement features more than 25 major acts, including the long-awaited return of Calvin Harris, a world-debut back-to-back performance from Marshmello and Subtronics, and an expansive selection of house, techno, trance, and bass music artists. Following a sold-out 2026 edition, Ultra is preparing another weekend of global electronic music talent, ambitious stage concepts, and exclusive performances on Miami’s waterfront.
The 2026 festival welcomed 165,000 attendees from more than 100 countries and reached an additional global audience of 42.5 million through #ULTRALIVE. For 2027, Ultra is building on that momentum with a lineup that combines returning festival favorites, rare collaborations, first-time performances, and new show concepts designed specifically for the event.
One of the biggest announcements is the return of Calvin Harris, who will headline Ultra Miami for the first time since his 2024 performance. Known for a catalog of internationally recognized dance anthems and collaborations with Rihanna, Dua Lipa, Sam Smith, and Ellie Goulding, the GRAMMY-winning producer will bring his signature sound back to Bayfront Park for an exclusive headlining set.
Another major highlight is the world debut of Marshmello B2B Subtronics. The collaboration will bring together Marshmello’s crossover appeal and melodic production with Subtronics’ intricate sound design and heavy-hitting dubstep. Both artists have previously performed individually at Ultra, but their first back-to-back set promises a different experience for fans of bass music.
The festival will also host the U.S. debut of Boris Brejcha B2B Eric Prydz Presents Cirez D, uniting Boris Brejcha’s high-tech minimal sound with the darker techno direction of Eric Prydz’s Cirez D alias. The pairing adds another rare collaboration to a lineup that continues to emphasize exclusive performances.
Several established festival headliners will also return. Martin Garrix is set to perform once again after making his Ultra Miami debut at just 17 years old in 2014. His label, STMPD RCRDS, will also return for its first festival stage takeover since 2022, celebrating its 10th anniversary.
Australian house music star Dom Dolla will make his first solo Ultra Miami appearance since 2022, following his 2025 back-to-back headlining performance with John Summit as Everything Always. GRAMMY-winning producer AFROJACK will also return, performing a live set at the festival for the first time. Trance icon Armin van Buuren is set to headline again, while his influential radio brand, A State Of Trance, will celebrate its 15th Ultra Miami stage takeover. Steve Aoki will return following the 2026 festival’s celebration of his label, Dim Mak, which marked its 30th anniversary with a dedicated stage takeover.
Hard techno continues to play a prominent role in the festival’s plans. Following her 2026 headlining performance and debut back-to-back set with Amelie Lens, Sara Landry will return with the U.S. debut of Sara Landry x Divine Intervention. Named after her forthcoming sophomore album, Divine Intervention, the new show will introduce a fresh visual concept built around the release, which is scheduled to arrive October 16 via her HEKATE label.
The festival’s underground programming will once again be led by RESISTANCE, the house and techno brand from ULTRA Worldwide, across the MegaStructure and The Cove stages. Several major additions will expand its programming in 2027.
Mau P will bring his Baddest Behaviour brand to Ultra Miami for the first time, hosting a curated takeover at the RESISTANCE MegaStructure. The showcase will feature a headlining performance from Mau P, extending the identity of his club-focused event series, Ibiza residency, and record label to one of the festival’s signature stages.
Techno pioneer Adam Beyer will also return to headline, bringing his influential Drumcode imprint to Ultra Miami for its first-ever RESISTANCE stage takeover. The showcase will spotlight the label’s role in international techno through its releases, events, and established roster of artists.
RESISTANCE will also host the U.S. festival debut of Miss Monique Presents BIORHYTHM, an audiovisual production combining melodic house and techno with real-time generative industrial visuals, organic elements, and immersive lighting. The concept explores the relationship between technology and nature while featuring unreleased music from Siona Records.
Other returning RESISTANCE artists include UK house tastemaker Michael Bibi, French industrial techno producer I Hate Models, and Spanish techno artist Indira Paganotto. French hard techno producer Nico Moreno will team up with Belgian DJ and producer NOVAH for a U.S. debut back-to-back performance, which will also mark NOVAH’s first appearance at Ultra Miami following her performance at ULTRA Peru.
Two-time GRAMMY-nominated duo SOFI TUKKER will return to Ultra Miami for the first time since 2022, bringing their live show SOFI TUKKER Presents Animal Talk to the festival. The duo will also curate an Animal Talk takeover of the Live Stage, marking the first curated takeover of that stage in Ultra Miami history.
Developed from the duo’s own dance parties and expanded into a label and artist collective, Animal Talk reflects the joyful, uninhibited spirit of Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern’s partnership. Their performance and stage curation will celebrate electronic music, Brazilian influences, and communal connection.
Bass music fans can also look forward to the first-ever festival back-to-back performance from Australian producer and vocalist Alison Wonderland and Los Angeles-based artist Tiffany Day. The pairing brings together two artists whose work spans electronic production, songwriting, and vocals. Swedish-born bass innovator Liquid Stranger will return to Ultra for the first time since 2023, adding another major name to the festival’s bass-focused programming.
The Phase One announcement also introduces several artists making their mark through distinctive DJ sets. Acclaimed musician Anderson .Paak will perform under his DJ Pee .Wee alias, drawing on funk, soul, and genre-spanning party selections. German producer BUNT. will bring his blend of emotive melodies and electronic production, while rising house artist it’s murph adds another name to the festival’s expanding roster.
Further additions include German electronic innovator Boys Noize, techno artist Klangkuenstler, and masked hard dance performer HOLY PRIEST, extending the lineup across techno, electro, house, and harder electronic sounds.
In total, Ultra Music Festival 2027 has announced six curated stage takeovers in its first lineup phase. Alongside Mau P’s Baddest Behaviour and Adam Beyer’s Drumcode, the announced showcases include SOFI TUKKER Presents Animal Talk, the return of Martin Garrix’s STMPD RCRDS, and the 15th A State Of Trance takeover. Alteza Records, curated by Vini Vici, will also return for a dedicated psytrance stage takeover following its history-making debut in 2025 as Ultra’s first dedicated stage for the genre.
With world-debut collaborations, major returns, and new audiovisual productions, Ultra Music Festival 2027 is setting the stage for another expansive celebration of electronic music. The Phase One announcement is only the beginning, with additional artists and programming still to be revealed ahead of the festival’s return to Bayfront Park.
