Ultra Music Festival Kicks Off 2027 Hype with Phase 1 Lineup

Ultra Music Festival has dropped its Phase 1 lineup for the 2027 edition, and the first wave of names confirms the festival is once again pulling out all the stops for its return to Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami. The 27th edition runs March 26-28, 2027, and this initial roster spans more than 25 headlining acts across the festival’s main stage and underground-leaning RESISTANCE brand.

The 2026 edition sold out with 165,000 attendees from over 100 countries, and the festival says its #ULTRALIVE livestream reached 42.5 million people worldwide. Phase 1 for 2027 leans into that momentum with a mix of returning headliners, world-debut collaborations and a handful of brand-new show concepts.

Topping the announcement is Calvin Harris, who returns to Ultra Miami for the first time since his 2024 headlining set. The GRAMMY-winning producer built his catalog on tracks with Rihanna, Dua Lipa, Sam Smith and Ellie Goulding, and his last Ultra appearance was one of the bigger main stage moments of that year.

Ultra is also billing two rare back-to-back pairings as centerpieces of Phase 1. Marshmello B2B Subtronics will mark a world debut, pairing Marshmello’s pop-leaning melodic style with Subtronics’ heavier dubstep sound design—two artists who’ve each headlined Ultra on their own but never shared a set together. Alongside that, Boris Brejcha B2B Eric Prydz Presents Cirez D will make its U.S. debut, bringing together Brejcha’s high-tech minimal sound with the darker techno of Prydz’s Cirez D alias.

The lineup also brings back several Ultra regulars. Martin Garrix, who first played Ultra Miami in 2014 at age 17, returns for another headlining slot, and his label STMPD RCRDS will host its first festival stage takeover since 2022 in celebration of its 10th anniversary. Dom Dolla comes back for his first solo Ultra Miami set since 2022, following his 2025 B2B with John Summit under their Everything Always project. AFROJACK will perform a live set at Ultra Miami for the first time, while Armin van Buuren and Steve Aoki round out the returning headliner class.

RESISTANCE and New Show Concepts

On the techno and house side, RESISTANCE will host debut Ultra Miami stage takeovers from Mau P’s Baddest Behaviour and Adam Beyer’s Drumcode. The brand will also bring the U.S. festival debut of Miss Monique Presents BIORHYTHM, an audiovisual show built around the relationship between technology and nature, plus the U.S. debut of Nico Moreno B2B NOVAH. Additional RESISTANCE headliners include Michael Bibi, I Hate Models and Indira Paganotto.

Hard techno artist Sara Landry will present the U.S. debut of Divine Intervention, a new visual production tied to her upcoming sophomore album. Over on the Live Stage, SOFI TUKKER will headline the first-ever curated Live Stage takeover in Ultra Miami history with the debut of their live show, SOFI TUKKER Presents Animal Talk.

Phase 1 debuts at Ultra Miami also include DJ Pee .Wee (Anderson .Paak’s DJ alias), German producer BUNT., and rising house artist it’s murph. Elsewhere, Alison Wonderland and Tiffany Day will team up for their first-ever festival B2B. The roster is rounded out by festival veterans including Liquid Stranger, Boys Noize, Klangkuenstler and HOLY PRIEST, along with returning takeovers from A State Of Trance marking its 15th Ultra Miami appearance and Vini Vici’s Alteza Records hosting its second dedicated psytrance showcase.

Tickets for Ultra Music Festival 2027 are on sale now at ultramusicfestival.com, with additional phases of the lineup expected in the coming months.
