MIAMI, Nov. 17, 2010 -- In 2010, ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL (UMF) had its most successful year with two sold-out days drawing over 100,000 people, featuring more than 200 international leading electronic music performers, DJs and cutting-edge bands alongside Miami regional artists.  For its 13th year, the music extravaganza returns to downtownMiami as a massive three-day event Friday, March 25, Saturday, March 26 & Sunday, March 27

Performers for the 13th annual ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL will be unveiled in the coming weeks with the promoters promising nothing short of the incredible caliber of talent they've procured in years past.  States UMF Co-Founder Russell Faibisch, "We are really excited to return to Miami in 2011 at the end of March, especially as a three-day event with our most diverse program to date.  The strength of our line-up really dictated this expansion and we look forward to announcing it very soon.   While past headliners including The Cure and Black Eyed Peas -- plus annual massive sets from Tiesto, deadmau5, Carl Cox and so many of the world's incredible electronic talents -- have driven UMF to become bigger and better each year, I am certain that our 2011 program will continue to exceed everyone's expectations."
