The Ultra Music Festival is set to fire up on March 23rd this year, and continues for three solid days of stellar entertainment. This festival was started in 1999 by two business partners, Alex Omes and Russell Faibisch who just wanted to hold an EDM – Electronic Dance Music party named Ultra Music Festival.
The following year, the response for Ultra Music Festival was intense and the EDM festival grew from one day to two in 2007. As of 2011, the Ultra Music Festival is three days, and this year the mega festival sold out in record time and is one of the highest grossing EDM festivalsin the world. Ultra Music Festival has been referred to as the “modern Woodstock” and features droves of young people, dancing and trancing to the music of their generation.
