Ultra Music Festival successfully extends festival over two weekends after road block

Dance music festival Ultra or UMF has successfully expanded the popular annual event to a two weekend affair.

Although the festivals 2013 edition had always been planned to go over two weekends, a road block issue with the City Of Miami was the final hurdle with a debate on the impact the festival has on the city.

The debate was settled with city commissioner Marc Sarnoff concluding to give the festival the opportunity to pay $500,000 and letting this years planned double weekend festival go ahead with future double weekend UMF’s being addressed at a later date.

Once the deal was successfully brokered, UMF released a statement on Facebook quoting:

“Yes, it’s all systems go and we are moving full steam ahead!!! ULTRA Music Festival will make history in 2013 as the world’s first ever ELECTRONIC music festival to take place over two weekends on March 15-17 and March 22-24 in celebration of our 15 Year Anniversary.

We appreciate the incredible support of the city of Miami Commission, Mayor, Bayfront Park Management Trust, and Fire and Police Departments, as together we have implemented a logistical plan that addresses everyone’s concerns, including those of local residents and businesses, allowing us to move forward and focus on producing the first rate, world class event ULTRA has become.

We’re extremely excited about the double-weekend celebration that will take place at the world’s most beautiful event location, Bayfront Park & Biscayne Blvd, in the heart of the Magic City, Downtown Miami.

As we enter our 15th year, and approach a complete SELL OUT of all 330,000 available tickets, those of you lucky enough to attend can expect ULTRA’s strongest and most diverse lineup to date, with an unparalleled level of production never before seen at a festival of this magnitude. As has become our signature, ticket holders can expect a wide array of surprises, including the possibility of unannounced mega artist appearances!

ULTRA Music Festival is proud to be the World’s Premier Electronic Music Festival, and we would like to thank all of the artists, managers, agents and most importantly, THE FANS, who have contributed to making ULTRA a focal point of the strongest musical and cultural movement on earth. ULTRA 15… HERE WE GO!!!”
