20 Years of ULTRA: Growth & Expansion Episode 3 Now Available  Image

With the kickoff of Ultra 2018 less than a month away, the festival has released the third installment of its 5-part '20 Years Of Ultra' series. This episode hones in on the growth and expansion of both dance music in the United States and Ultra Music Festival itself. Through a series of intimate interviews with dance music's most prolific figures, fans are given a glimpse into how and when Ultra Music Festival grew from a small, niche subculture to a global phenomenon and household name.

Peppered with seasoned artists who have withstood the test of time and changes in the dance music climate, this episode features first hand accounts from Armin Van Buuren, David Guetta, Afrojack, Ferry Corsten, Andy C and Fedde Le Grand on the evolution of American dance music.

Throughout this installment, Carl Cox details the rise of the underground, commercialization of dance music and the faces of the electronic revolution of the early to mid 2000's. Artists that once played in Cox's tent (and now Megastructure) who are now dance music superstars, join to share their experience of electronic music attracting the global spotlight in a major way.

The likes of Nic Fanciulli & John Digweed have remained committed to their underground sound, and believe that this genre will always have a prominent place at Ultra Music Festival. Today we see long-term dance music lovers share dance floors with the next generation of fans, creating the truly unique experience that is Ultra Music Festival.

General admission passes are now sold out for Ultra 20 and limited VIP packages are still available. Secure your passes today to experience the most memorable Ultra Music Festival to date with a lineup spanning across all genres of electronic and live music.
