Ultra Music Festival has officially unveiled the highly anticipated Phase 1 lineup for its 27th edition. The event returns to Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami from March 26 to 28, 2027. This follows a sold-out 2026 edition that drew 165,000 attendees from more than 100 countries and reached 42.5 million global viewers through its #ULTRALIVE livestream.
The initial roster spans more than 25 headlining acts. It features a powerhouse mix of returning superstars, world-debut collaborations, and innovative production concepts across the main stage and the underground-leaning RESISTANCE brand.
Calvin Harris Leads Major Headliner Returns
Global icon Calvin Harris tops the Phase 1 announcement. He returns to Ultra Miami for the first time since his standout headline performance in 2024. The GRAMMY-winning producer anchors a heavy-hitting returning headliner class alongside artists like Rihanna, Dua Lipa, Sam Smith, and Ellie Goulding.
He is joined by festival staple Martin Garrix-who first played Ultra Miami in 2014 at age 17-alongside Dom Dolla, Armin van Buuren, and Steve Aoki. Meanwhile, AFROJACK will deliver a milestone performance by playing a dedicated live set at Ultra Miami for the very first time. Dom Dolla also returns for his first solo set at the festival since 2022, following his massive 2025 B2B collaboration with John Summit under their Everything Always project.
High-Profile World Debuts and Unique B2B Pairings
Ultra Music Festival leans heavily into exclusive collaborative sets for 2027. Two major debut performances highlight this focus. Marshmello and Subtronics team up for a world-debut back-to-back set, bridging Marshmello’s pop-centric melodic sound with Subtronics’ heavy dubstep production design. Additionally, Boris Brejcha B2B Eric Prydz Presents Cirez D makes its official U.S. debut, merging Brejcha’s high-tech minimal techno with the darker, hypnotic grooves of Prydz’s Cirez D alias.
Other unique collaborative debuts include Alison Wonderland and Tiffany Day teaming up for their first-ever festival B2B set. A stacked roster of underground pairings, such as Nico Moreno B2B NOVAH, joins them.
RESISTANCE and New Show Concepts Push Boundaries
The festival’s renowned underground brand, RESISTANCE, brings several major conceptual debuts to Bayfront Park. Hard techno frontrunner Sara Landry presents the U.S. debut of Divine Intervention, an immersive visual production tied to her forthcoming sophomore album. Other RESISTANCE highlights include:
- Miss Monique’s U.S. festival debut of BIORHYTHM, an audiovisual exploration bridging technology and nature.
- Mau P hosting his first-ever Baddest Behaviour stage takeover.
- Adam Beyer’s legendary Drumcode imprint hosting its first dedicated RESISTANCE stage showcase.
- Headlining appearances from Michael Bibi, I Hate Models, and Indira Paganotto.
Over on the Live Stage, electronic duo SOFI TUKKER curates the first-ever artist-led takeover in the stage’s history, introducing SOFI TUKKER Presents Animal Talk. Additional Phase 1 debuts feature DJ Pee .Wee (the alter ego of Anderson .Paak), German producer BUNT., and rising house sensation it’s murph.
Milestone Stage Takeovers and Ticket Information
The 2027 edition also celebrates significant milestones for returning stage curators. Martin Garrix’s STMPD RCRDS hosts its first Ultra Miami stage takeover since 2022 to commemorate the label’s 10th anniversary. Concurrently, Armin van Buuren’s A State Of Trance (ASOT) marks its 15th Ultra Miami takeover, while Vini Vici’s Alteza Records returns for its second dedicated psytrance showcase.
