For fans of EDM, there are few events during the year that compare to the enormity of the Ultra Music Festival in Miami. The annual festival, which first launched in 1999, takes place every March at Bayfront Park and has become renowned for its regular rotating cast of the best electronic dance artists.
This year's festival, which launches March 18-20, will feature just about every major name in the genre including Afrojack, Armin Van Buuren, Hardwell, Avicii, Kaskade, Miike Snow, Martin Garrix, deadmau5, Tiesto, Zedd, DJ Snake, Purity Ring and countless others. The popular festival has sold out entirely on the primary market, leaving just VIP tickets up for grabs.
