An internationally renowned event  that has taken place every March since its inception in 1999, Ultra Music  Festival celebrated its 15th anniversary this year by becoming the first ever  major electronic festival to produce an event over two consecutive weekends.   Boasting the hottest names and the finest talent to be found anywhere on  the planet, Ultra Worldwide is the most internationally produced festival brand  in the world, as it continues to transport the unrivaled experience from its  Miami flagship event to an ever-growing number of destinations and fans all  over the globe. Add in its pioneering live stream, ‘Ultra Live’ and Ultra  Worldwide is able to bring the festival experience online to over 11 million  unique viewers globally. 

Over the past 15 years, literally thousands of the world's most  iconic DJs, producers and live acts have mesmerized audiences with  awe-inspiring sets at Ultra events in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Croatia, Ibiza,  Korea and of course Miami.
