The Ultra Music Festival is an experience that’s hard to put into words. From the mind-blowing tunes to the amazing visuals and beautiful girls in neon get-ups, UMF is nothing short of three days of euphoria. Electronic dance music fans flock to Miami from around the world for a chance to party with their favorite DJs. Boasting a crowd of nearly 165,000, Ultra Music Festival even draws artists from Madonna to Lil Jon to come experience the madness firsthand.
UMF has something for everyone, with sets from current chart-toppers like Avicii, Skrillex, and Afrojack, to performances by pioneers like DJ Tiesto, Kraftwerk, and Fatboy Slim, not to mention shows from A-list party starters like Steve Aoki, David Guetta, and the Duck Sauce collective of A-Trak and Armand Van Helden.
With electronic dance music solidifying itself as a force in mainstream music, festivals like Ultra keep growing by leaps and bounds. Unfortunately, tickets do sell out fast, and not everyone gets the opportunity to partake in the festivities. But no need to worry, Complex has got you covered. Cue up your favorite dance track, throw on a pair of neon sunglasses, and get lost in these 150 Amazing Shots of Ultra Music Festival...
