ULTRA 2026 adds 70+ artists, rare B2Bs like Martin Garrix B2B Alesso, global debuts like HALŌ, major returns & takeovers into its most innovative lineup.
Ultra Music Festival has unleashed its massive Phase 2 lineup for the 2026 edition, adding more than 70 new artists to its already explosive roster. The festival returns to Bayfront Park, Miami, from March 27–29, 2026, continuing its push for the most forward-thinking lineup in its history — with nearly 80% of the artists performing next year being new to Ultra.
A landmark year of historic B2Bs and exclusive debuts
Ultra made headlines in October with a huge Phase 1 announcement that included the first-ever US debuts and exclusive performance of HALŌ (Matisse & Sadko x DubVision x Third Party) and you can expect nothing but greatness from the new supergroup.
Ahead of Phase 2, Ultra revealed one of its most anticipated moments yet: a headlining back-to-back from Alesso and Martin Garrix, following their 2025 hit “Inside Our Hearts” and a surprise Garrix cameo during Alesso’s Ultra Europe set.
Exclusivities also include exclusive Amelie Lens b2b Sara Landry, a rare return of Sebastian Ingrosso b2b Steve Angello (Buy Now), and the U.S. debut of Adam Beyer b2b Joseph Capriati.
