Ultra Music Festival has released the official aftermovie for its 2026 edition and opened the waitlist for its 2027 installment, giving fans a first look at what to expect when the festival returns to Bayfront Park next spring.
Ultra Music Festival 2027 is set for Friday, March 26 through Sunday, March 28, 2027, back at its longtime home in Downtown Miami. The waitlist for #ULTRA2027 is live now for fans looking to get first access when tickets go on sale.
The announcement comes on the heels of a sold-out 26th edition this past March, which ran from Friday, March 27 through Sunday, March 29 at Bayfront Park. That weekend delivered a handful of moments that are already part of Ultra lore — Skrillex popping up unannounced during BZRP’s headlining set, Swedish House Mafia turning their Main Stage slot into a festival-within-a-festival that included a rare back-to-back from Eric Prydz, and John Summit bringing out Feid to close things out on the Main Stage.
Now, ahead of the 2027 edition, Ultra is letting fans relive last year’s festival with the release of its official aftermovie, titled SYNCHRONICITY.
The film comes from Final Kid Films, the studio behind previous Ultra aftermovies, and takes a more narrative approach than a typical highlight reel. SYNCHRONICITY is structured as an emotional prologue followed by five chapters — Anticipation, Connection, Release, Surrender and Unity — tracking the arc of the festival experience from small individual moments to the kind of collective, tens-of-thousands-strong euphoria Ultra has built its reputation on. Notably, the entire film was shot with real cinematography, with no AI-generated imagery involved.
Final Kid Films founder Charly Friedrichs returns as director, creative director and main editor on the project. This time around, though, Friedrichs brought in other members of the Final Kid team as co-directors, with each one handling their own chapter of the film — a first for an Ultra aftermovie.
Ultra has held its Miami festival at Bayfront Park for over two decades, and it remains one of the anchor events of Miami Music Week each spring, drawing artists and fans from across the global dance music circuit. With the 2027 dates locked in and the waitlist now open, fans interested in early access to tickets can sign up through Ultra Music Festival’s official website. Now we wait for Phase 1 to come very soon!
