The Ultra Music Festival is an annual celebration of electronic and dance sounds combining some of the best artists of the current period in an outdoor gathering. It is normally held in March in Bicentennial Park, downtown Miami. It has grown in many ways, from the amount of people who attend to the length of the festivities.
The festival, in 2009, marked its tenth anniversary and featured some of the most renowned musical artists of the last two decades. It was originally produced by Alex Omes and Russell Faibisch and it was designed to be part of the winter musical conference. The event was attended by seventy thousand people and was sold out, despite the event being extended to three days long.
There is global interest in the event with many different countries presenting their best dance musicians to perform there. Tickets have sold out months before the festival ever since it first began and this trend shows no sign of stopping. In 2011 the international dance awards presented it with the title of best event of the year which has only brought it more exposure.
There are several renowned artists that have been seen playing here, even those from the start of electronic music, like New Order who was famous during the 1980s for their original sound. Dubstep has taken the charts by storm and Skrillex is considered an ambassador of the movement. From the UK, Chase N Status is a dance duo that has broken into mainstream across the globe.
As for their dedication to the environment, they have an onsite recycling program which has been running since the organization began. There is an eco-village which gives out advice on how to save the planet. There are also a wide selection of not-for-profit organizations and charities there to provide information on what is happening around the world and how to support them.
You can purchase tickets from many different outlets or via the website. There are plans to have this festival two times a year. The second location would be based in Poland and the first of these is planned for later in 2012. Only a few acts have been announced at this present moment.
The Ultra Music Festival has been very successful and has experienced a rapid growth since it began. Tickets normally sell out a long time before the actual event and 2012 is no exception. The venue has had to be relocated many times due to the volume of people in attendance.
