Ultra Music Festival
Ultra Music Festival is an annual outdoor electronic music festival that takes place during March in Miami, Florida. This festival was founded by Russell Faibisch and Alex Omes in 1999. This festival is named after the 1997 Depeche Mode album, Ultra. Basically, Ultra Music Festival is held in Downtown Miami at Bayfront Park. From 1999 to 2006 it was a one day festival but it slowly grew into a two day weekend festival from 2007 to 2010. But, since 2011, Ultra has taken place the entire weekend (Friday to Sunday) during the month of March.
In 2012, a record attendance of 155,000 people attended the festival. In 2013, for the first time in Ultra’s history, the festival took place across two consecutive weekends welcoming a combined attendance of 330,000 people. In 2014, the festival returned to its original one weekend format, selling out pre-sale tickets in under five minutes. The most recent edition of Ultra, in 2016, welcomed 165,000 people to the festival. As of 2016, Ultra Music Festival is home to seven stages that span the picturesque Bayfront Park which include the Main Stage, the Live stage, the MegaStructure, the Worldwide stage, the UMF Radio stage, the Resistance stage, and the Oasis stage. Although they share names, Ultra Music Festival was not directly tied to Ultra Records, an electronic music record label. However, the two entities did announce a "global alliance" in August 2012, which would allow them to collaborate on marketing and cross-promotion.
Other Ultra Worldwide festivals and events take place across the world in locations like Ibiza, Spain, Seoul, Korea, Tokyo, Japan, Hvar, and Split, Croatia, Singapore, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and many other destinations. The twentieth edition of Ultra Music Festival will be taking place March 23–25, 2018.
The Ultra Music Festival 2017 (Miami, Florida) has to be one of the event I always wanted to attend. By the looks of it, this festival must be one of the most entertaining event of Spring. On March 2017 in Miami, four of my most favorite DJs/artists had performed. They were Afrojack, David Guetta, Zedd and DJ Snake. I am very much fond of their music and would definitely want to see them play live one day in one of the Ultra Music Festivals.

The Ultra Music Festival is definitely on my to-do list. First time I heard about this event from my sister and some of my friends. I was shown some videos about it and since then I've always wanted to attend one. Someday I would like to attend The Ultra Music Festival which is held on Miami, Florida. It seems like a very fun event to be a part of. By looking at the videos, anyone can say that it looks very entertaining.
