Ultra Music Festival Phase 1 Announcement

It is a fresh new year and the wonderful news of Ultra music Festival phase 1 line-up has officially been released.   Their was much speculation on the acts that were going to be provided and they were pretty much dead on.  Of course the big news that Swedish House Mafia would be closing there tour in Miami.  People can hate on them all they want, they produce a good show with the energy to go along with it.  

Apart from the usual big names that will be there such as: Above and beyond, Afrojack, Kaskade, Tiesto, Deadmau5 etc. I am extremely excited to hear Major Lazer, Fat Boy Slim and Knife party will be present.  Most DJ’s have a “presence” about them but I feel that these three specifically really bring into play all the senses and want to join the crowd in there playfulness.  I look forward to Phase 2 announcements and anticipate hearing of the French duo Daft Punk striking back at Ultra for their 2013 tour!

**Update (jan 10 - 21:04): The second weekend has been approved, lets hope the drama ends there so the people can enjoy the festivities!.

What also seems to be in question is the overruling of Ultra having second weekend festivities at Bayfront Park.  There has been voiced concerns over the traffic and disturbance to the Miami downtown core that will disturb business and residence over and between the 2 weekends.  Another concern that has local residence up in arms is the drug use that is anticipated to happen on and in-between the two weekends.  Both sides had submitted their cases and now we can only wait for the final outcome.

63 days and counting, see you beautiful people at Ultra!
