Miami Music Week is officially underway, and anticipation is building for the return of Ultra Music Festival—one of the world’s leading electronic music events. Now entering its 26th edition, the three-day festival will take place from Friday, March 27, through Sunday, March 29, 2026, bringing a massive lineup and high-energy performances back to Bayfront Park.
This year’s event will feature more than 100 artists across multiple stages, including the renowned RESISTANCE platform. Fans can look forward to the return of Carl Cox, who follows up on the success of his “Evolution” live show from last year. The lineup also includes top-tier acts such as John Summit, DJ Snake, Major Lazer, Hardwell, Armin van Buuren, and Vintage Culture, promising a weekend packed with standout performances.
Festival favorites Alesso and Martin Garrix will reunite for a rare back-to-back set, building on their collaboration “Inside Our Hearts” featuring Shaun Farrugia. Additional highlights include performances from Afrojack, Alan Walker, and several unique back-to-back debuts such as Argy with Mind Against, Ray Volpe with Sullivan King, and a world-exclusive set from Amelie Lens and Sara Landry.
Ultra 2026 will also showcase nearly 60 debut performances. Among them are BZRP, the WORSHIP collective (Sub Focus, Dimension, Culture Shock, and 1991), ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, Marlon Hoffstadt, and the duo WANKDAT (WOOLI and CRANKDAT). Fans can also expect a first-ever collaborative set from Deorro, Mike Posner, and MORTEN under the name TIMELESS.
Beyond the music, Ultra continues to emphasize sustainability and innovation, having earned A Greener Festival certification for its environmental efforts. The festival blends cutting-edge production, immersive stage design, and a diverse global audience to create a one-of-a-kind experience.
Since its humble beginnings as a small beachfront event over two decades ago, Ultra Music Festival has grown into a global phenomenon, with editions held around the world. Still, Miami remains its flagship location, drawing thousands of attendees each year to the scenic backdrop of Biscayne Bay.
As an outdoor festival, attendees should plan accordingly—light clothing, hydration, and sun protection are essential. Public transportation is strongly recommended due to limited parking and heavy traffic in the downtown area. Staying nearby in areas like Downtown Miami or Brickell can make getting to and from the festival much easier.
With world-class talent, vibrant energy, and unforgettable performances, Ultra Music Festival 2026 is set to deliver another landmark celebration of electronic music and culture.
