Following months of speculation and anticipatory hearsay from hopeful dance music enthusiasts across all corners of the globe, ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL has today put the rumors to rest by revealing that the world's premier electronic event will be heading to not one, but two new locations for 2014. Next year will see both South Africa and Japanwaving the ULTRA flag, as the world's most international festival brand continues to export its unique experience to an ever-growing number of territories across the globe.

Having already established gargantuan events in Miami, Argentina, Chile, Croatia, Brazil, Korea and Ibiza in its 15-year history, ULTRA South Africa and ULTRA Japan will be the eighth and ninth international editions of the Miamisuper festival, making ULTRA Worldwide truly the most international festival brand in the world, with events on no less than five continents.

Guaranteeing the same level of world-class talent, along with the meticulous attention to detail and world-beating production that characterizes all of their worldwide events, Ultra Worldwide will bring its unique experience to two vibrant new markets, both increasingly hungry for dance music.

Russell Faibisch - Founder, Executive Producer and CEO of Ultra Music Festival and Ultra Worldwide--shared his excitement by saying:

"South Africa and Japan are without a doubt two of the most burgeoning territories in the world when it comes to their ever-growing enthusiasm towards electronic music. Their demand for world-class electronic acts has become truly overwhelming of late, and the infrastructures in each place to put on an event like Ultra are healthier than they've ever been. These thriving scenes, coupled with the additional fact that these locations are some of the most beautiful I've ever come across, made the decision to expand into Africa and deeper into Asia an extremely exciting one to make."

Adam Russakoff- Executive Producer, Talent Booker and Director of Business Affairs for Ultra Music Festival andUltra Worldwide--went on to say:

"If there's one ethos that characterizes each and every one of our worldwide events, it's the unmatched experience that we offer our fans. This unique 'Ultra' experience is ultimately achieved by delivering the very best forward-thinking lineups alongside unbeatable production values, and I can absolutely guarantee that next year's new editions will be no exception. The local promoters we've chosen to work with in each country both have an exceptional reputation for putting on the biggest and very best events in their markets, and our expansion into such booming territories is something I'm very much looking forward to."
