Skrillex is returning to Ultra, and already we can sense the seismic waves this will cause over Miami’s concrete jungle come March 2025. Get your tickets now.
Allow us to visualize the events about to transpire. At Bayfront Park ten years of artistic development, technical innovation, and creative evolution will come together. Having seen the evolution of electronic music over the previous ten years, we can tell you – this is not merely another festival booking. This is history still to be written.
The way it all turned out was pure poetry: Ultra’s birthday wish to Sonny Moore, his enigmatic “See you in March,” answered. But what’s coming is anything from subdued. We see a set that will redefine electronic music performance’s possibilities. This is the rationale: Having declared his final project with Atlantic Records, Skrillex is not just returning to Ultra but also as an artist on the verge of independence.
Together with his recent creative rebirth—remember those back-to-back albums that rocked us in 2023—this freedom points to something extraordinary about to be revealed.
From the bone-crushing dubstep that made him a legend to the genre-bending complexity of his most recent work, we are expecting a set spanning time. More than that, though, we are looking forward to shocks that will make us mute. Imagine an unexpected b2b with Four Tet or an unplanned jam with deadmau5 during his retro5pective set, then consider natural collaborations with the outstanding roster of the event.
Looking forward, this performance might signal the start of a new era of electronic music. Ultra 2025 might be where we first hear the sounds that will characterize the next decade of dance music, as Skrillex teases new material and hints at a reinvented approach to releasing music.
His latest pieces on reevaluating business systems and streamlining music distribution point to us not only getting a DJ performance but also a window into the direction of electronic music culture.
The 25th anniversary of Ultra (lineup), Skrillex’s decade-long solo hiatus, and the absurd lineup (Gesaffelstein, Carl Cox, that Anyma b2b Solomun set that’s going to melt faces) – all coming together like a perfect storm. March 2025 will be a turning point where past and present clash in a sonic and innovative explosion, not only another celebration.
