THE BRAVERY, ERIC PRYDZ, JUNKIE XL,
UNION JACK WITH FIRST PERFORMANCE IN SEVEN YEARS, VJv2
AND THE VEEZ
ADDED TO 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY ALL-STAR LINE UP
MARCH 28 & 29 AT BICENTENNIAL PARK IN MIAMI
As anticipation grows for the 10-year anniversary installment of ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL (UMF) happening March 28 and 29 in Miami, its promoters have announced additions to the all-star line-up with confirmed performances by The Bravery, Eric Prydz, Junkie XL, Union Jack, VJv2 and The Veez.
Making their first appearance at UMF and only during WMC, The Bravery will bring their unique sounds including radio hit "Time Won't Let Me Go" from their sophomore album The Sun and the Moon (Island) on Friday, March 28. Swedish DJ, producer and label head (Mouseville, Pryda, Pryda Friends) Eric Prydz–best known for his hit singles "Call On Me" which sampled Steve Winwood's hit "Valerie" and “Proper Education” which fused Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick In The Wall’s” school choir chorus into a UK & European chart smash for Ministry of Sound—will appear on the same day.
Also set for Friday, March 28, the one man band known as Junkie XL makes a return to UMF's main stage for his WMC exclusive performance with a high-voltage live set highlighting tracks off of his new album Booming Back At You (Artwerk Music) out March 11, including international club smash "More" and new single "Cities In Dust." U.K. ska act The Veez also joins.
The new addition for Saturday, March 29 is Union Jack—consisting of Simon Berry ('Art Of Trance', Platipus Records founder) and Claudio Giussani (EXUS, Terra Ferma, Urban Shakedown)— who co-headlined the very first UMF in 1999. The musical innovators will be joined by Paul Brogen (POB) for their first show anywhere in seven years. Main Stage visual artistry for both days will be created by Vello Virkhaus, VJv2.
Previously announced festival highlights include performances by Underworld, Tiësto and Paul van Dyk (performing a very rare live set with a full band and several guest vocalists from his current release In Between (Mute) including Jessica Sutta of the Pussycat Dolls, Ashley Tomberlin and Rea Garvey, among others), two exclusive days of Carl Cox & Friends plus additional exclusive live performances and DJ sets during WMC by Justice, Moby, BT, Digitalism, Calvin Harris, Rabbit In The Moon, Deadmau5, Second Sun and Enur, whose WMC exclusive performance marks their U.S. debut. The two-day event–held at Bicentennial Park in Miami, FL–runs in conjunction with the Winter Music Conference (WMC) and features over 150 of the world’s top electronic and DJ artists spread out over seven different areas each day.
