The countdown to Ultra Music Festival Miami 2026 is officially on, and the latest Phase 2 lineup announcement has electrified the global electronic music community. Set to return to Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami from March 27-29, 2026, the festival marks its 26th edition with an unprecedented slate of performances, including world-exclusive back-to-back (b2b) sets and debut appearances from both rising stars and established heavyweights.
Headlining Back-to-Back Sets That Redefine UMF
One of the standout announcements from Phase 2 is the rare headlining b2b set from Alesso and Martin Garrix—a collaboration that fans have long dreamed of seeing on Ultra’s iconic main stage. But the surprises don’t stop there: Ultra 2026 will feature several world-debut b2b performances, including Argy b2b Mind Against, Ray Volpe b2b Sullivan King, and Amelie Lens b2b Sara Landry, ensuring every stage is packed with unique, once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
New and Debuting Acts
Ultra continues to push boundaries with its 2026 lineup by introducing fresh talent and unexpected collaborations. Attendees will witness DJ Snake’s techno alias “Outlaw” b2b TYRM making their U.S. debut, alongside Joris Voorn b2b Korolova, and the progressive house powerhouse HALŌ, a supergroup combining Matisse & Sadko, DubVision, and Third Party.
Several artists will also make their Ultra debut, including the viral Japanese sensation ¥ØUUK€¥UK1MATUK€\yen UK1MATUK€¥UK1MATU, Berlin’s experimental duo Brutalismus 3000, and the collaborative project TIMELESS, uniting Deorro, Mike Posner, and MORTEN. These debuts highlight Ultra’s ongoing commitment to presenting boundary-pushing electronic music from every corner of the globe.
Stage Takeovers Bring Iconic Experiences
Stage takeovers remain a hallmark of Ultra’s immersive festival experience. In 2026, fans can look forward to Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance celebrating its 25th anniversary, Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak marking its 30th anniversary, and the highly anticipated debut of The Martinez Brothers’ Cuttin’ Headz takeover. Each stage promises meticulously curated sets, dazzling production, and unforgettable moments that embody Ultra’s signature spectacle.
Beyond Miami: Ultra Worldwide and Other Key Events
While Miami remains the flagship event, Ultra’s influence extends globally. Ultra recently concluded successful events in Taiwan and Japan in September 2025, bringing the festival’s world-class production and legendary DJ sets to new audiences. Looking ahead, other major electronic music events are also on the horizon:
- EDC Las Vegas 2026 will celebrate its 30th anniversary from May 15-17, with “Future Owl” presale tickets already sold out.
- EDC Orlando 2026 is scheduled for November 6-8, with “Future Owl” presale currently ongoing.
