Ultra Music Festival adds its phase two names

Hardwell, Swedish House Mafia and Eric Prydz are on Ultra Music Festival’s phase two names, which also take in Carl Cox, Armin van Buuren and Martin Garrix. Hardwell had been three years out of touring and out of new music when he came back on Ultra’s stage in Miami in March, and the return came with an album and a world tour attached to it.

Kaskade is in the batch and so is Kx5. Testpilot, HI-LO, Tchami, Oliver Heldens and Zedd are in with them.

The album Hardwell announced that day gathers the singles he has released since, Dopamine and PACMAN among them, and it comes through Revealed Recordings, which he owns, on CD and limited vinyl as well as streaming. The REBELS NEVER DIE tour has been running underneath all of it.

Away from the bill, Ultra’s Mission: Home programme has been collecting industry awards, several of them in marine sustainability and a set of them from the Florida Festivals and Events Association.
