Ultra Music Festival Extends To Two Weeks

A much anticipated announcement from Ultra Music festival revealed a two week format for this year’s events. With over 10 thousand people watching via live stream, the Miami massive announced dates starting the 15th AND 22nd of March. Following in the footsteps of Coachella, they will be putting on the event twice to free up some tickets. The event has sold out for the past few years for at least one day. This announcement proves that will not be the case this year for the 2013 edition.

We haven’t been able to confirm if this means different artists will be playing each weekend or if it will be a rerun. Adam Russakoff, talent buyer and executive producer of the show was quoted saying they will “create two seperate and distinct highly unique experiences for our attendees.”

Based on the reactions via Facebook, fans aren’t happy. If it’s different artists each weekend, festival goers will be forced to decide which to attend, or shell out the extra cash to stay in Miami for both. We don’t know about you, but most ravers we know can barley afford 3 days to a week, forget 10. If the show will be a rerun, the massive crowd that brings the passion to Ultra won’t be there. Who knows what will happen, but what’s certain is that Ultra will proably sell a few more tickets and stow some extra cash. All we suggest is with that cash, BRING DAFT PUNK!

Either way we are stoked to see a party that started on the beach outgrow itself year after year. What’s next? A party month like the Russian Kasantip festival? Even though the announcement may have dissapointed some, it shows continued expansion in the industry. Now the DJs might get a chance to catch some Floridian rays if they are able to spend a week on South Beach. In the midst of WMC this solidifies the end of March as the annual extravaganza of dance music culture. Get ready party people, Spring will be here soon enough…
