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.

Heavyweights return as Phase 2 expands the top tier

Ultra’s Phase 2 drop brings back longtime festival staples and global powerhouses including Afrojack, Alan Walker, ARTBAT (RESISTANCE Ibiza 2025 Residents), SVDDEN DEATH presents VOYD.

Alongside them, Ultra continues its legacy of “you-had-to-be-there” pairings with three world debuts featuring Argy b2b Mind Against, Ray Volpe b2b Sullivan King, Clara Cuvé b2b Shlømo.The festival will also host major U.S. debuts, including Outlaw (DJ Snake’s techno alias) b2b TYRM, Joris Voorn b2b Korolova

Phase 1 also unveiled headliners including John Summit, DJ Snake, Major Lazer, Hardwell, Armin van Buuren, Vintage Culture, and techno and house icons Carl Cox, Eric Prydz, Miss Monique, Boris Brejcha, Eli Brown, Sasha_John Digweed, and Adriatique.

Ultra’s early announcements also teased high-profile debut performances from BZRP, WORSHIP, ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, WANKDAT, Marlon Hoffstadt, and the first performance of TIMELESS, the new trio of Deorro, Mike Posner, and MORTEN.

A massive wave of Ultra Miami debuts

Phase 2 brings an astonishing 46 first-time Ultra Miami performances, spanning the full spectrum of electronic music. Debut artists include Alt8, Audiofreq, Distinct Motive, Cassian, DJ Gigola, Lilly Palmer, Colyn b2b Innellea, Confidence Man, Frost Children, Darksiderz, Sidequest, The Purge, Parisi, and many more.

Returning legends round out a powerhouse lineup
