A surefire highlight of today's reveal is the first-ever b2b DJ set from deadmau5 and Pendulum, a pair of prevailing pioneers of electronic music. Attendees can also look forward to collaborative sets from Anyma b2b Solomun and Everything Always, the alias of Dom Dolla and John Summit.

Ultra 2025 will also see the return of techno legend Carl Cox, who did not appear last year after performing a staggering 19 times since the festival's debut in 1999. He's once again taking over Ultra's storied RESISTANCE MegaStructure to debut a brand-new live show, according to a press release. Fellow techno icon Richie Hawtin will also headline the stage, bringing his innovative "DEX EFX X0X" production to Ultra for the first time.

Ultra's organizers have also announced the event's first-ever psytrance stage, curated by the influential DJ duo Vini Vici and their label, Alteza Records.

Ultra is scheduled to return to its longtime home of Bayfront Park from March 28-30, 2025 and tickets are on sale now. Check out the festival's first phase of artists below.
