Ultra’s Phase 1 announcement reads like a masterclass in contemporary EDM breadth. John Summit headlines the tech-house contingent, bringing his infectious, groove-heavy sound that has dominated clubs from Ibiza to Miami over the past two years. Eric Prydz represents progressive techno purity with his signature deep, hypnotic soundscapes. ISOxo and Vintage Culture anchor the Latin and Brazilian influence that has become central to Ultra’s DNA. Amelie Lens and Sara Landry teaming for a back-to-back set promises one of the weekend’s most anticipated techno moments, while Boris Brejcha brings his signature acid techno and full-on progressive sound to the mix. Steve Aoki rounds out the marquee tier with mainstream appeal and his signature high-energy production style.

Beyond the headliners, the Phase 1 card spans dozens of rising stars and established names across multiple genres. House acts, techno purists, drum and bass specialists and melodic progressive producers all find representation. This balance reflects Ultra’s evolution from a predominantly mainstage-focused festival into a more genre-diverse platform that respects both underground credibility and broad commercial appeal. Multiple stages running simultaneously across three days mean attendees can navigate between hard techno, liquid funk, tech house and mainstream EDM without leaving the venue.

The return to Bayfront Park cements Miami as Ultra’s spiritual home after over a decade of touring international locations. The waterfront setting provides a stunning backdrop for daytime sets and creates an electric atmosphere for nighttime performances. The three-day format allows for deeper artist sets and more flexibility in scheduling, a shift that has made recent Ultra editions feel less rushed than some earlier incarnations. Stages are designed to accommodate different energy levels and sonic territories, so the experience caters to seasoned ravers and newcomers alike.

Ticket availability remains strong through official channels, with general admission and VIP tiers available at various price points. Early bird pricing has already sold through, but weekend and daily passes continue to be released as inventory allows. Package deals combining hotel accommodations in Miami, airport transfers and festival access are offered through official partners, making it accessible for international travelers who want the full Ultra experience bundled together.

Ultra has committed to releasing Phase 2 and Phase 3 lineups over the coming weeks, historically adding surprise headliners and emerging talent in later phases. Based on past years, expect additional marquee names to drop alongside deeper cuts from rising producers. The full experience will likely exceed 150 artists by the time the festival kicks off in late March. For fans tracking which stage to hit at what time, set times and the full schedule will be released closer to the event date.

Ultra 2026 represents both a return to tradition and a forward-looking vision for the festival. By anchoring itself back in Miami while maintaining a broad artistic palette, Ultra continues to position itself as one of EDM’s most important gathering points. Whether attendees are there for underground exploration or mainstream celebration, the three-day format and multi-stage setup ensures something for every electronic music enthusiast. With Phase 1 already stacked and more announcements on the horizon, Ultra Miami 2026 is shaping up to be a marquee event on the global festival calendar.
