MIAMI, FL — Ultra Music Festival has officially finalized the daily running order for its iconic Mainstage at Bayfront Park. The three-day schedule (March 27–29) is anchored by a series of monumental closing performances: Major Lazer will shut down the festival’s opening night following the Alesso B2B Martin Garrix debut; Sebastian Ingrosso B2B Steve Angello will lead a Swedish takeover on Saturday; and Miami’s own John Summit has been tapped for the prestigious final closing set of the weekend on Sunday night.
Friday, March 27: The Power of Collaboration
The first day of the 2026 edition sets a high bar with a focus on world-first pairings and high-impact energy. The evening progression features the drum and bass supergroup Worship, followed by a melodic bass journey from ILLENIUM. The night moves into high gear with Argentine sensation BZRP, leading directly into the most anticipated set of the weekend: the world-exclusive Alesso B2B Martin Garrix performance. However, the ultimate Friday finale belongs to Major Lazer, who will bring their explosive, genre-blending show to close out the first night.
Saturday, March 28: A Marathon of Legends
Saturday’s Mainstage is a "who's who" of electronic music history, featuring a relentless succession of superstars. The afternoon and evening will see Nicky Romero, Loud Luxury, and Alan Walker set the stage for Steve Aoki (celebrating 30 years of Dim Mak). The energy then shifts toward the heavy-hitting finale with Excision, followed by the return of Hardwell and a celebratory set from Armin van Buuren. The night concludes with a "mini-reunion" of the Swedish House Mafia as Sebastian Ingrosso B2B Steve Angello take the closing slot.
Sunday, March 29: The Final Ascent
The festival’s final day offers a diverse sonic palette before reaching its peak. The Mainstage progression includes R3HAB, Maddix, ARTBAT, and a highly anticipated set from the "Father of Eurodance" revival, Marlon Hoffstadt. Big-room king Afrojack will ignite the sunset crowd, followed by a high-octane performance from DJ Snake. In a historic move, the festival will officially be closed by John Summit, marking a career-defining moment for the artist as he shuts down Ultra 2026 in his home city.
