Ultra Music Festival’s landmark 25th anniversary celebration delivered an unforgettable moment in modern music history as AFROJACK surprised fans by bringing out David Guetta and Sia to perform their multi-platinum global hit “Titanium” together for the first time ever.
Since its release in 2011, “Titanium” has cemented itself as one of the most iconic anthems of the 21st century, amassing over 4 billion streams worldwide and leaving a lasting impact on both pop and electronic music culture. Despite its legendary status, the trio had never united on stage for a live performance—until Ultra’s 25th anniversary provided the perfect setting for this long-awaited musical milestone.
As AFROJACK, David Guetta, and Sia took the Ultra Main Stage, the powerful chords of “Titanium” echoed through the Downtown Miami skyline, captivating the festival’s sold-out audience and millions of fans tuning in via Ultra’s #ULTRALIVE broadcast on UMF TV.
Building anticipation for the moment, AFROJACK teased a special guest appearance by dropping David Guetta’s classic hit “Sexy Bitch” featuring Akon—a subtle nod to the monumental surprise ahead. When Guetta emerged on stage, the crowd erupted as he affectionately referred to AFROJACK as his “little brother” and reflected on their journey together, including how AFROJACK helped him push past a creative roadblock while producing “Titanium.”
The spotlight then shifted to Sia, making her historic first-ever electronic music festival appearance. Dressed in custom Dolce & Gabbana and her signature wig, she delivered a stunning, transcendent vocal performance that elevated the moment into festival history.
Adding to the excitement, David Guetta and Sia performed their latest collaboration, “Beautiful People”, which debuted earlier this month, while AFROJACK treated fans to his new single, “Never Forget You”—a track that pays homage to his early sound and longtime supporters.
This “Titanium” surprise performance exemplifies Ultra Music Festival’s legacy of curating groundbreaking, once-in-a-lifetime moments that transcend electronic music and shape the cultural landscape. From the nostalgia of “Titanium” to the cutting-edge energy of “Beautiful People,” AFROJACK’s headlining set reaffirmed Ultra’s status as the global stage where music history is written.
