This month Ultra Music Festival will once again be invading Miami’s Bayfront Park for the 2023 edition of the festival, which features three days of star-studded lineups, including larger-than-life electronic and live acts for what is sure to be another unforgettable weekend.
While there is indeed no shortage of talent showcasing their skills across seven stages during this three-day extravaganza, I’ve decided to put together a “must-see” list to help assist you in putting together the perfect soundtrack to your weekend.
It’s obvious that everyone is excited to see industry heavy-hitters Swedish House Mafia, Marshmello, Martin Garrix, Zedd, Alesso, Hardwell, REZZ, Subtronics, Liquid Stranger, Kayzo but here are 8 sets that definitely deserve your attention at Ultra Miami this year.
While frolicking around the festival grounds of Ultra Miami, it’s always important to make some time for the Live Stage, especially this year with Grimes making her Ultra debut. Being a true rave enthusiast in edition to boasting quite the lengthy discography herself, which even includes a “rave edition” of her 2021 album Miss Anthropocene, she is sure to set the tone for the wild weekend with a captivating performance Friday evening.

Catching an Eric Prydz alone is an unforgettable musical journey; however, his HOLO show is simply in a league of its one and doesn’t happen too often. Easily considered the best audiovisual experience in the dance music scene at the moment, with pictures and videos simply not doing it justice, those lucky enough to be attending Ultra Miami this year must pay a visit to the RESISTANCE Megastructure on Friday night.

Ultra Miami will once again host the biggest names in electronic dance music with a handful of legends being sprinkled in the mix and that includes Kill The Noise.

Never one to shy away from unleashing his fury with a steady barrage of bone-rattling bass from start to finish, this set is not for the faint of heart. Last year we got a lethal dose of his sophomore album EMBRACE just ahead of his release, who knows what he has instore for festival goers in 2023.
