All Miami ravers are in the know about the biggest festival South Florida has to offer: Ultra Music Festival 2025. The experience is set to light up Miami’s Bayfront Park from March 28 – 30. With this year being Ultra’s 25th anniversary, expect the unexpected.
The festival is split into various stages featuring artists of different followings, whether they be an up-and-coming DJ at the RESISTANCE stage, or an artist with millions of monthly listeners on Spotify, Ultra has it all.
Each festival day will feature a different headliner at the Ultra Main Stage, as well as some smaller must-see DJ’s at Ultra’s smaller stages like The Cove, The World Wide Stage and Live Stage.
Take a look at some of the headliners.
Carl Cox’s EVOLUTION
Legendary DJ and producer, Carl Cox, will debut his brand-new Evolution live show at Ultra Music Festival. Cox’s set will showcase a bevy of live house and techno sets at the Resistance MegaStructure. His stage takeover will feature performances from Adam Beyer, Richie Haqtin, Stephan Bodzin and Joris Borrn.
Cox has been a cornerstone of the festival, DJing at Ultra since 2001 and returning annually. Over the past two decades, Cox has evolved from smaller sets to the world famous Resistance MegaStructure and helped to solidify Ultra Music Festival as the premier festival for both main stage stars and underground performers.
