Are there music festivals with a wider reach than ULTRA Worldwide? With no less than five ULTRA and Road to ULTRA events lined up in Asia this September, it’s time to see what you’ve been missing out on at the world’s premier electronic dance music festival.
Now on its 17th year, the Miami-born ULTRA Music Festival has set the bar for raves and continues to raise them higher in five continents under the ULTRA Worldwide brand. The biggest names in the DJ and live music circuit have all played at ULTRA, from Afrojack to Zedd.
Here are nine photos to get you stoked on the upcoming ULTRA Worldwide in Tokyo and Bali, and Road to ULTRA’s single-stage one-night-only shows in Manila, Singapore and Taipei.
