Ultra Music Festival Miami: A Must-Attend Electronic Music Event with Top DJs and Attracting Thousands of Fans from Around the World.

Ultra Music Festival, one of the world's premier electronic music festivals, is taking place in downtown Miami this weekend. The festival features some of the hottest acts in electronic music and attracts tens of thousands of fans from around the world.

On Saturday, March 23rd, Ultra Music Festival featured a lineup that included Swiss DJs Adrian Shala and Adrian Schweizer (known as Adriatique); Scottish DJ Calvin Harris; French DJ David Guetta; English DJ Alexander Elderbrook Kotz; Dutch DJ Nick Afrojack van de Wall and Armin van Buuren; Swedish DJ Eric Prydz and Adam Beyer, among others. Belgian DJ Amelie Lens, Russian Nina Kraviz, and Swiss-South African Daniela Nora En Pure Di Lillo were some of the few women performing at the festival.

David Guetta performed on Saturday night at 10:46 p.m., while Calvin Harris took the stage on Sunday at 8:45 p.m.

Martin Garrix, a Dutch DJ and record producer, performed on the main stage at Ultra on Saturday night at 9:15 p.m.

Adriatique also performed earlier in the day, while Seven Lions took to the stage later in the evening. Other notable acts included Mathame, San Holo, and Madeon.

Ultra Music Festival is taking place at Bayfront Park and is expected to attract about 55,000 EDM fans over three days. Miami police officers have closed a section of Biscayne Boulevard in both directions starting Thursday night to accommodate the festival-goers.

The weather on Saturday was much better than Friday when severe thunderstorms delayed departures at Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, suspended a popular electronic music festival and disrupted matches at a high-profile tennis tournament. The stormy weather also caused hundreds of flight delays in the area.

On Friday night, organizers shut down Ultra Music Festival early due to lightning and strong winds. Rain and strong winds also delayed the start of the day's tennis games at the Miami Open by six hours on Friday.
