50 New Acts for Ultra Music Festival 2025
Ultra’s phase two announcement brings fresh energy to an already stellar lineup. Among the newcomers are big names like Dubfire, who’s set to perform his groundbreaking 2022 album Evolv, and Gryffin, known for his emotive, dancefloor-ready hits. Knife Party fans, rejoice – the duo is returning to shake things up, while Claude VonStroke will showcase his experimental side under his Barclay Crenshaw alias.
Of course, no Ultra lineup would be complete without high-octane acts like Steve Aoki and Timmy Trumpet, who never fail to bring electrifying energy to the stage. Underground techno enthusiasts will be thrilled to see names like Nico Moreno, Stephan Bodzin, and Joris Voorn on the roster, while genre-bending artist TOKiMONSTA rounds out this eclectic mix with her boundary-pushing beats.
Partiboi69 Brings the Party
One of the most buzzworthy additions is Australian DJ Partiboi69, bringing his cheeky and energetic Area 69 concept to Ultra for the first time. Expect bold performances, outrageous vibes, and plenty of surprises – including his debut Ultra appearance as Ketboi69, a collaboration with KETTAMA. And it doesn’t stop there! Fans of b2b sets are in for a treat, with Partiboi69 teaming up with Juicy Romance, as well as a Skream b2b Interplanetary Criminal set that’s bound to deliver unforgettable moments.
Festival Favorites and Fresh Collaborations
While the new acts are exciting, let’s not forget the heavyweights already on the bill. Ultra staples like Armin van Buuren, Carl Cox, Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Hardwell, and Afrojack are set to deliver the high-energy performances fans have come to love.
What’s really turning heads this year are the collaborative sets. Imagine witnessing deadmau5 and Pendulum on stage together – yes, that’s happening. Or how about a b2b performance from Anyma and Solomun? These unexpected pairings are a testament to Ultra’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of live electronic music.
One notable highlight: Axwell will take the main stage as a solo act for the first time. Plus, techno pioneer Richie Hawtin is set to debut his innovative DEX EFX X0X live show, adding even more depth to the festival’s diverse offerings.
Celebrating 25 Years of Ultra
As Ultra celebrates its quarter-century milestone, the Ultra Music Festival 2025 is shaping up to be a reflection of its storied history and forward-thinking vision. Fans can expect a mix of nostalgic nods to the festival’s roots and cutting-edge performances that showcase the future of electronic music.
With additional appearances by Charlotte de Witte, Adam Beyer, Gesaffelstein, and Above & Beyond, plus exciting projects like Dom Dolla and John Summit’s Everything Always, the diversity of talent this year is nothing short of breathtaking. And of course, no festival would be complete without Zedd, whose chart-topping hits have made him a global sensation.
Weathering the Storm
While Ultra Miami faced some weather-related challenges during its 2024 edition, the festival proved its resilience by bouncing back stronger than ever. The early closure on Friday last year didn’t dampen the spirits of festival-goers, and the rest of the weekend went off without a hitch. With lessons learned and a renewed focus on delivering an unforgettable experience, Ultra 2025 is set to make history.
