ULTRA Worldwide Dominates DJ Mag Top 100 Festivals List

ULTRA Worldwide has reached another landmark achievement. Today, DJ Mag unveiled its annual Top 100 Festivals list, with seven ULTRA Worldwide festivals recognized in the 2026 edition, including the brand's flagship festival, Ultra Music Festival in Miami, at #4. This marks the first time any organization has been recognized on the list across all six inhabited continents, further cementing ULTRA’s Worldwide’s stature as the most international music festival brand.

Alongside Miami’s Ultra Music Festival, DJ Mag has honored ULTRA Europe (#47), ULTRA Japan (#59), ULTRA Korea (#70), ULTRA Taiwan (#74), ULTRA Buenos Aires (#82), ULTRA Australia (#86), and ULTRA South Africa (#96).

These recognitions follow Ultra Miami’s most recent installment, held March 27 - March 29, 2026, where the festival welcomed 165,000 dance music enthusiasts from 100 countries to Bayfront Park. Simultaneously, the festival’s #ULTRALIVE live stream reached 42.5 million around the world, capping off another sold-out weekend that once again defined the global standard for electronic music culture.

Ultra Miami 2026 featured a bevy of world-class headliners alongside a series of era-defining, you-had-to-be-there moments. Highlights include a surprise Skrillex appearance during BZRP’s headlining set, as well as the landmark Main Stage takeover from Swedish House Mafia, whose curated “festival within a festival” tapped Eric Prydz for a rare back-to-back alongside additional featured performers such as Armand Van Helden, Boys Noize, Afrojack and more. These once-in-a-lifetime moments have long defined the Ultra Music Festival experience, solidifying the festival’s reputation as one of the world’s premier live music events.

Ultra Music Festival is set to return to Bayfront Park for its 2027 edition, taking place Friday, March 26 - Sunday, March 28, 2027.

This year, ULTRA Worldwide has also hosted 2026 installments of ULTRA Buenos Aires, the debut ULTRA New Zealand in Wellington, ULTRA Australia (both in Melbourne and the Gold Coast), ULTRA Peru in Lima, and ULTRA South Africa (both in Cape Town and Johannesburg).

Right around the corner is the 12th edition of ULTRA Europe in Split, Croatia, taking place Friday, July 10 - Sunday, July 12 and featuring headlining performances from artists such as Calvin Harris (performing at the festival for the first time), Afrojack, Armin van Buuren, DJ Snake, Dom Dolla, FISHER, Hardwell, John Summit, Martin Garrix, Mau P, Sara Landry, Subtronics, and more.
