At Ultra Music Festival Live, every track you hear is pulled from live Ultra sets, past and present, capturing the energy, improvisation, and raw performance that make Ultra festivals legendary worldwide. This week’s coverage spotlights the latest global Ultra events, including the recently announced lineup for Ultra Taiwan 2025, plus updates on other international editions and notable industry news.

Ultra Taiwan 2025: Big-Room EDM Returns to Taipei

On October 16, 2025, Ultra Taiwan officially unveiled its full roster for the festival’s return to Dajia Riverside Park on November 1. The single-day festival promises a high-octane lineup dominated by legacy EDM artists, catering to fans of big-room sound and mainstage energy.

The Main Stage will feature:

• Martin Garrix, continuing to thrill audiences with his signature progressive and electro house tracks.
• Afrojack, bringing decade-spanning hits and festival anthems to the Taipei crowd.
• Laidback Luke, the veteran Dutch DJ known for explosive festival sets.
• Oliver Heldens, blending deep house grooves with mainstream appeal.
• Steve Aoki, delivering the chaotic, crowd-interactive performances he’s famous for.

The RESISTANCE Stage lineup emphasizes underground techno and house flavors, featuring:

• Deborah De Luca, acclaimed for her high-energy techno sets.
• HI-LO, Oliver Heldens’ techno alias, bringing a darker, more experimental edge to the stage.

Compared to Ultra Miami, Taiwan’s festival skews toward big-room EDM veterans who dominated the scene a decade ago, offering fans a concentrated experience of dancefloor-ready anthems.

Other Ultra Worldwide Updates

Ultra Korea is set to return to Seoul for a one-day festival on September 20, 2025, at the Oil Tank Culture Park, maintaining Korea’s growing position as a major stop on the Ultra global circuit.

Ultra Australia will light up the southern hemisphere in April 2025, with events on the Gold Coast (April 11) and in Melbourne (April 12), showcasing a mix of international headliners and rising Australian talent.

Ultra South Africa schedules two shows in May 2025: Cape Town (May 9) and Johannesburg (May 10), emphasizing the festival’s continued expansion into emerging electronic music markets.

As the flagship festival, Ultra Miami 2025 set the tone earlier this year with its 25th-anniversary edition, delivering three full days of genre-spanning performances, exclusive back-to-back sets, and live shows that push the boundaries of festival production. While Afrojack, Martin Garrix, and Oliver Heldens are repeat headliners across both Miami and Taiwan, Ultra Miami’s lineup is broader and more experimental, including:

• Carl Cox’s Evolution live show at the RESISTANCE Megastructure.
• Skrillex, performing his first solo Ultra set in a decade.
• Axwell making his first-time solo headliner appearance.

Miami also featured notable back-to-back sets like Anyma & Solomun, Deadmau5 & Pendulum, and Dom Dolla & John Summit as Everything Always, alongside acts spanning techno, trance, hardstyle, and beyond.

Key Takeaways for Fans

The contrast between Ultra Taiwan and Ultra Miami highlights Ultra’s global strategy: Taiwan offers a focused, high-energy day of crowd-pleasing mainstage acts, perfect for fans of big-room EDM, while Miami remains the flagship showcase for diverse genres, experimental performances, and exclusive collaborations. Both experiences are captured in live sets available on Ultra Music Festival Live, allowing fans to relive the electrifying performances no matter where they are.

As Ultra continues its worldwide expansion, fans can expect Taiwan, Korea, Australia, South Africa, and Miami to maintain their signature blend of mainstage spectacle and underground energy, each festival contributing to the ever-growing legacy of live Ultra performances.

For die-hard festival fans and newcomers alike, Ultra Music Festival Live offers a front-row seat to every iconic set, preserving the spontaneous energy and unforgettable moments of Ultra’s global stages.

At Ultra Music Festival, the energy doesn’t just come from the music—it comes from a commitment to the planet. Ultra Music Festival Live, the platform celebrating iconic live sets from Ultra’s history and current-day performances, has long spotlighted the unforgettable music experiences of UMF, but the festival’s environmental initiative, Mission: Home, adds a new layer of innovation and responsibility to the brand. Launched as a comprehensive sustainability program, Mission: Home has earned international recognition, including accolades from the Florida Festivals and Events Association and the World Sustainability Awards, for its holistic approach to reducing the festival’s environmental footprint.

The program centers on five key pillars: Waste Reduction, Pollution Prevention, Nature Preservation, Community Engagement, and Climate Action. Through these initiatives, Ultra is redefining what it means to throw a world-class festival while prioritizing environmental stewardship.

Waste Reduction That Makes a Difference
Ultra’s approach to waste is thorough and measurable. In 2025 alone, the festival diverted nearly 50 tons of waste from landfills, highlighting the scale of its impact. A major focus has been the elimination of single-use plastics. Since 2019, Mission: Home has successfully reduced the use of more than 2.1 million plastic items, thanks to expanded water refill stations, Styrofoam bans, and eco-friendly alternatives.

Glass recycling is another cornerstone of the program, with partnerships alongside organizations like Clean Vibes enabling precise sorting and recycling streams. Ultra has also innovated with post-construction materials through a Wood Rescue and Recycling initiative launched in 2024, repurposing thousands of pounds of wood into art or mulch, giving festival materials a second life. On the culinary side, excess food and beverages are rescued and donated to local organizations such as the Miami Rescue Mission, providing vital meals to those experiencing homelessness while reducing waste simultaneously.

Energy Efficiency and Climate Action
Beyond waste, Mission: Home is transforming the festival’s energy footprint. Several major stages, including UMF Radio and Oasis Stages, have transitioned from diesel generators to the city’s grid power, significantly reducing both carbon emissions and noise pollution. The festival also conducts energy efficiency assessments in collaboration with industry experts, identifying opportunities to minimize generator use and enhance sustainable power practices. Carbon emissions are monitored and analyzed to guide future climate strategies, ensuring Ultra’s environmental efforts are grounded in measurable impact.

Protecting Nature and Engaging the Community
Ultra’s environmental efforts extend beyond the festival grounds. Protecting Biscayne Bay and Bayfront Park is a priority, with educational campaigns, shoreline cleanups, and in-person programming raising awareness of local ecosystems. Community engagement is central to Mission: Home, with on-site and online initiatives designed to encourage festival-goers to adopt sustainable practices both during and after the event. By fostering environmental consciousness, Ultra is cultivating a community of attendees who understand that their festival experience can coexist with care for the planet.

Ultra Music Festival’s Mission: Home demonstrates that even events with massive global followings can lead in sustainability. By combining cutting-edge music experiences with forward-thinking environmental strategies, Ultra ensures that the festival’s legacy extends beyond unforgettable live sets to a meaningful impact on the planet and local communities.
