Ultra Music Festival has unveiled the first wave of acts for its 2027 return to Bayfront Park, and the Phase 1 bill leans hard into reunions and firsts. Calvin Harris is set to play his first Ultra Miami set since headlining in 2024, while Afrojack is bringing his live show to the festival for the first time ever. The festival runs March 26 through 28, marking its 27th edition on the downtown Miami waterfront.
According to DJ Mag, returning headliners Martin Garrix, Dom Dolla, Armin van Buuren and Steve Aoki anchor the lineup alongside Harris. Dom Dolla is slated to play his first solo Ultra Miami set since 2022, after appearing in 2025 alongside John Summit as Everything Always, according to the Miami New Times. Martin Garrix's STMPD RCRDS label will celebrate its 10th anniversary at the festival, while Armin van Buuren's A State of Trance is set for its 15th Ultra Miami takeover, per the same report.
First-Time Collaborations Headline the Bill
Several pairings never before attempted are set to debut on the Bayfront Park stages. Marshmello and Subtronics will play their first official back-to-back set, described by EDM.com as a world debut for the pairing. Boris Brejcha is scheduled to go back-to-back with Eric Prydz performing under his Cirez D alias, marking their debut U.S. b2b set, according to Cultr.
The Miami New Times reports that Alison Wonderland and Tiffany Day will team up for their first-ever festival b2b, while Nico Moreno and Novah are set to make their U.S. debut b2b performance. Anderson .Paak will also make his Ultra Miami debut, bringing his DJ Pee .Wee alias to the festival for a set rooted in funk, soul and dance music, per DJ Mag.
Sara Landry and Miss Monique Bring New Audiovisual Shows
Sara Landry is set to perform the U.S. debut of her audiovisual show, returning with a production called Divine Intervention built around her sophomore album, according to the Miami New Times. She previously performed at Ultra in 2026 alongside Amelie Lens as part of the inaugural Hekate takeover. Miss Monique is bringing her own audiovisual production, BIORHYTHM, which combines industrial visuals, immersive lighting, natural elements and her melodic house and techno sound for its U.S. festival debut.
SOFI TUKKER is also returning to Ultra Miami after not performing there since 2022, debuting a live show called SOFI TUKKER Presents Animal Talk. The group will curate what the Miami New Times describes as the festival's first artist-curated Live Stage takeover, an outgrowth of Animal Talk, which began as SOFI TUKKER's own dance parties before expanding into a record label and artist collective.
Six Stage Takeovers Round Out the Bill
Ultra has announced six stage takeovers for the 2027 edition, according to EDM.com. Vini Vici's Alteza Records returns for another dedicated psytrance showcase, while the RESISTANCE lineup features Mau P's Baddest Behaviour and Adam Beyer's Drumcode, both making their first dedicated takeovers at Ultra. Mau P, who made his Ultra Miami debut in 2025 as part of Solomun's Diynamic takeover, will curate a stage at the RESISTANCE megastructure and bring his Baddest Behaviour brand to the festival for the first time. The RESISTANCE lineup also includes Michael Bibi, I Hate Models and Indira Paganotto, per the Miami New Times.
Rounding out Phase 1, the initial lineup includes Boys Noize, Klangkuenstler and Holy Priest, with Bunt, It's Murph and Liquid Stranger also set to appear, the outlet reports. With more phases still to announce, EDM.com notes the festival has yet to reveal its complete roster for the March weekend. The Miami New Times article was authored by Osvaldo Espino.
Tickets for Ultra Music Festival 2027 are on sale now, according to Cultr. Additional lineup phases are expected in the coming months as organizers continue to fill out the schedule for the three-day run at Bayfront Park.
