And just like that, the 25th edition of Ultra Music Festival in Downtown Miami kicks off festival season. Music Week was nothing short of amazing, with stellar lineups, incredible production value, and of course, we can now relive our favorite sets on YouTube. This year, we get to enjoy them sooner than anticipated. The three-day festival happened last weekend March 28-30 in Bayfront Park. So far Ultra itself has not uploaded the sets, but the artists themselves are doing it. Read on for festival highlights and the livesets on YouTube.
