With just a month and half to go until show time, ULTRA Singapore now unveils the incredible Phase Two and RESISTANCE lineups for its inaugural edition this September 10-11, 2016.The first name to join the lineup, much to the delight of thousands of trance loving Ultranauts, is UK super group Above & Beyond, who will be touching down in Singapore to deliver what will surely be an electrifying performance. To add, Swedish superstar Alesso, who, having headlined the first and only Road to ULTRA Singapore to rapturous acclaim, will return for a second year in a row. Perhaps the biggest revelation of Phase Two however comes in the form of the third headliner, who can now be revealed to be none other than ZHU. Just off the back of releasing his debut album, the enigmatic producer will be performing at his first ever ULTRA Worldwide event, and is guaranteed to bring his finely curated catalogue of new music along for all those lucky enough to be in attendance.
The Phase Two announcement comes with the added surprise of the first part of the RESISTANCE lineup, which will see Nicole Moudaber, Reboot, Shaded (Live) and Technasia bring the very best that the techno world has to offer directly to Singapore.
Three more of electronic music’s most exciting acts will also join the billing, as Carnage, Gryffin and W&W each prepare to bring their own spin to proceedings.
ULTRA Singapore are truly pulling out all the stops for their debut event, with the aforementioned Phase Two names joining an already exhilarating lineup that features Afrojack, Axwell^Ingrosso, deadmau5, Kygo, Nero (Live), DJ Snake, Far East Movement, Jauz and Marshmello.
The two-day extravaganza will take place at the spectacular ULTRA Park venue hosted in the heart of the city at ‘1 Bayfront Avenue’, Singapore’s counterpart to Miami’s Bayfront Park. Situated right across the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, this event will be the first of its kind to be held at the bayfront venue. The site will also feature three of ULTRA Worldwide’s most beloved stages in the form of the Main Stage, Live Stage and RESISTANCE Stage.
ULTRA Singapore marks the start of ULTRA Worldwide’s second Asia run this year. With ULTRA Korea and a SOLD OUT Road To Ultra Thailand event having already taken place in June, part two will see the brand undertake five more stops this September in Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, Bali and the Philippines all within a two-week span – a festival first and a feat no other event organizer can lay claim to.

With Early Bird tickets for the event selling out instantly upon release, fans will have to move fast in order to snap up the last remaining Advance Tickets that are on sale now and priced at $175 USD, with Premium General Admission Tickets available at $200 USD.

About ULTRA Worldwide™
ULTRA WORLDWIDE™ IS THE GLOBAL EDITION OF THE WORLD’S PREMIER ELECTRONIC MUSIC EVENT, ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL®.
The ULTRA brand in relation to live events was founded in 1997 in Miami by Executive Producer, President & CEO, Russell Faibisch, who began by producing electronic music events which led to the inaugural Ultra Music Festival® in 1999 on the sands of Miami Beach.
The internationally renowned festival, which has taken place every March since its inception, celebrated its eighteenth anniversary on March 18-20, 2016 by bringing over 165,000 music enthusiasts to the sold out waterfront event in the heart of the City of Miami. Ultra Music Festival®, recently voted the world’s #1 Festival by DJ Mag, returns to Bayfront Park for its nineteenth annual edition on March 24-26, 2017.
Choosing to follow a unique and creative vision and a wholly organic growth focused on its true love for music, artists and fans alike, the ULTRA and ULTRA Worldwide™ brands represent not only the world’s biggest and most successful remaining INDEPENDENT electronic music festival brand, but also the most international festival brand in the world. Event organizers continue to transport the unrivaled experience from the Miami flagship festival to an ever-growing number of destinations and Ultranauts all over the globe.
Over the past eighteen years, thousands of the world’s most iconic DJs, producers and live acts have mesmerized audiences with awe-inspiring sets at ULTRA festivals in ARGENTINA, BALI, BRAZIL, CHILE, CROATIA, IBIZA, JAPAN, KOREA, SOUTH AFRICA and of course MIAMI, as well as ROAD TO ULTRA® events in BOLIVIA, CHILE, COLOMBIA, JAPAN, KOREA, MACAU, PARAGUAY, PERU, THE PHILIPPINES, PUERTO RICO, SINGAPORE, TAIWAN, THAILAND and the USA. Each new global edition has been founded on the same successful recipe that has been perfected over eighteen years in Miami, combining the most diverse electronic talent with the most technologically advanced, large-scale festival productions in the world.
The ULTRA brands have pioneered the live stream experience with ‘ULTRA LIVE’ (bringing the festival online to over 20 million unique viewers globally) and the audio broadcasting platform ‘UMF RADIO’ (syndicated to FM Radio in over 62 countries and reaching more than 22 million listeners weekly). Also UMF FILMS’ collaboration with FINAL KID has seen some of the most visually breathtaking festival aftermovies in the music space, including a feature-length documentary exploring the explosion of dance music, entitled CAN U FEEL IT™, which was premiered on the red carpet at the Klipsch Amphitheater in Miami in 2012 and was exhibited in over 500 theaters across the Unites States.
2016 will see the ULTRA and ULTRA WORLDWIDE™ brands continue to push the boundaries even further, bringing an unparalleled combination of cutting edge productions and the world’s best electronic acts back to previous strongholds and new frontiers across the globe. With a brand new edition of ULTRA Brasil® confirmed to take place in Rio de Janeiro on October 14-15, 2016, ULTRA Singapore™ becoming a full scale two-day festival on September 10-11 and with ROAD TO ULTRA® entering Hong Kong later this year, the ULTRA brand has now united TWENTY COUNTRIES across FIVE CONTINENTS worldwide. |
