Ultra Music Festival is a three-day, city festival at Bayfront Park on the water in Downtown Miami. The 2027 edition is March 26–28, 2027, per ultramusicfestival.com. Ticket prices, the lineup and set times are TBA here; check the official site before you buy.
Dates, hours and ages
Official gate hours for 2027: Friday, March 26, 4:00 pm to midnight; Saturday, March 27, noon to midnight; Sunday, March 28, noon to 10:00 pm. General admission is 18+, and VIP and buying alcohol are 21+. A valid physical photo ID is required every day; photos of an ID are not accepted.
No camping, no re-entry
Ultra is not a camping festival. There is no re-entry once you are inside and no staying overnight, so book a room and plan to stay in for the day. The official site lists hotel room blocks.
Getting to Bayfront Park
The address is 301 N. Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33132. The Metromover stops right outside, and MiamiCentral station is about a mile on foot. Transit is usually simpler than driving downtown during Miami Music Week.
What to bring
- A clear bag up to 13″ × 17″, or no bag. Fanny packs and small clutches are fine, per the official policy.
- Your physical photo ID.
- Power bank. Your phone is your ticket, map and meetup tool.
- Earplugs. High-fidelity plugs lower volume without muffling.
- Sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses for the afternoon sets.
- Comfortable shoes for walking between stages.
Sealed items must stay sealed, and every bag is searched. Read the official prohibited-items list before you pack; it can change each year.
Stages to know
The Main Stage anchors the park, and the RESISTANCE megastructure is the home of techno and underground sounds. Stage names and the 2027 lineup are TBA until Ultra announces them. For past lineups and sets, see the Ultra Miami archive.
