Ultra Music Festival Miami: Poster evolution since its first year and what to expect from the 2019 edition

We are eleven days after the start of one of the largest and most important electronic music festivals in the world. The Ultra Music Festival Miami 2019 will have a new location after residents of the Bayfront Park neighborhood have complained and asked the authorities to cancel or move the protest for this year..

The UMF is one of the oldest and most legendary music festivals. So we compiled the evolution of the arts, from its first edition in 1999 to its 21st edition in 2019.. The event has changed a lot since, from place to artists.

The first posters reveal that at that time, DJs like Armand Van Helden, Seb Fontaine, Danny Rampling, among others, dominated the electronic scene. and now none of them will be featured in 2019. Later, in 2008, legendary artists like Tiësto, Underworld, Paul Van Dyk, Justice, Carl Cox and many more were the big shots that everyone wanted to see.

In 2016, producers who still dominate the electronic scene have stormed like Kygo, Chainsmokers, Alesso, Zedd, Tycho, Avicii, who even before his death was one of the most popular artists, Galantis, among others.

In 2019, they will repeat some names presented for years as living myths: Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Tiësto, Infected Fungus mixed with new guard artists like Marshmello in popular culture and Charlotte De Witte in alternative cultureamong many others.

Another difference that can be noted is that, from 2001, the festival organized scenes according to the electronic sub-genre, as can be seen in the programming: Drum & Bbad, House, Breakbeat, Progressive, Techno, among others, but it was mainly in 2002 that it was decided to clbadify by musical taste.

In recent years, another trend has emerged: divide the event into scenarios. The largest and most important dance floor is the main one where the most commercial artists like David Guetta, Marshmello, Alesso and others.

The Mega structure of Carl Cox and until 2018 the Arcadia Spider were places where they exclusively played culture DJs undergroundhowever, the giant spider will be a reminder of the festival and now he will move on to stages like El Reflector and New Stage that will be part of Resistance, an alternative concept of UMF.

There will be other smaller places that will offer sound shows like Oasis, UMF Radio, Live Arena, Playdiffently by Richie Hawtin and Mau5trap led by Deadmau5.

There is no doubt that 2019 will be a special edition, as it will be the first and perhaps the only occasion where Virginia Key hosts the show.

The UMF brand has grown enormously and local editions are being manufactured in many countries around the world. Even Ibiza has its own concept of alternative parts and Mexico has its own edition.

Thanks to his influence and his story, The Ultra Music festival is likened to other world-clbad events such as Tomorrowland, Coachella, Glastonbury, Viña del Mar, San Remo, Burning Man, Lollapalooza, Roskilde. and much more.
