Broadcasting exclusive live performances, artist interviews, backstage footage and all of the very finest moments from this year’s double-weekend, this inaugural LIVE EVENT will be created and directed by Charly Friedrichs – director of the Ultra Music Festival film CAN U FEEL IT – and the rest of his FINAL KID team.
“This is not just another Livestream; actually calling it a livestream doesn’t qualify for the experience we will bring to all the dance fans around world. This is a LIVE SHOW. It’s engaging, interactive and keeps you on the edge of your seat…or even better – makes you wanna dance! I don’t want people to just watch it, I want people to experience it. Make them feel as if they are there!” Charly Friedrichs (Creative director UMF TV and founder of Final Kid)
ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL will hold the 15th edition of its gargantuan event over two three-day weekends March 15, 16 & 17 and March 22, 23 and 24, 2013. This marks the first time ever for a major electronic dance music festival to do so anywhere in the world.
About ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL:
As the world’s most famous outdoor electronic music festival, ULTRA has won “Best Music Event” by the International Dance Music Awards (IDMA) six consecutive years, from 2005 to 2011, “Best International Dance Music Festival” by the Ibiza DJ Awards in 2008 and “Best Festival” by the Village Voice Media New Times consecutively five years running from 2005 through 2009. Originally created as a pure EDM (electronic dance music) festival in 1999, ULTRA has grown through the years to present not only the genre’s hottest, biggest and best headline artists (The Prodigy, Swedish House Mafia, The Chemical Brothers, Tiësto, David Guetta, deadmau5, Underworld, Kraftwerk, Armin van Buuren, Moby, Fatboy Slim, Justice, Carl Cox and Avicii to name a few), but also crossover headline bands that incorporate EDM elements in their music and have a history or new beginning in the EDM community and culture (The Cure, The Killers, New Order, Duran Duran, The Black Eyed Peas, Erasure, M83, Santigold, The Ting Tings, Cut Copy, Empire of the Sun and Bloc Party). In 2012, global pop icon Madonna appeared as a special surprise guest—the festival’s gift to their fans—to introduce the main stage final headlining artist AVICII, joining him behind the decks to premiere his UMF remix of her new single “Girl Gone Wild.” The year also was the subject of CAN U FEEL IT, a major documentary feature about the festival, which was shown in over 500 theatres nation-wide. Together with its signature, cutting-edge productions, ULTRA is unrivalled by consistently presenting the world’s greatest, most diverse EDM line-ups year after year.
In 2013, as it celebrates its 15 year anniversary, ULTRA will become the first major EDM festival in the world to expand to two weekends with dates set for March 15, 16 and 17 and March 22, 23 and 24.
A global brand, ULTRA takes place in Miami, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Ibiza and Korea, expanding into Europe with ULTRA EUROPE July 2013 in Croatia.
