Ultra Music Festival has released Phase 1 of its Ultra Miami 2027 lineup, putting Calvin Harris back on the bill for the first time since his 2024 headline appearance and signaling the first wave of bookings for the festival’s 27th edition. More than 25 headliners are now confirmed for the March 26–28, 2027 weekend in Downtown Miami.
That is the date fans are searching now: the festival has locked in the first major names for a three-day return that already stretches across more than one corner of electronic dance music. Martin Garrix, Dom Dolla, Armin van Buuren and Steve Aoki are back, while AFROJACK is set for a live set for the first time at Ultra Miami.
Dom Dolla’s slot matters for a reason beyond the headline count. He is returning for his first solo Ultra Miami set since 2022, after playing a 2025 B2B with John Summit as Everything Always. That shift from a shared appearance to an individual booking tells the story of this first phase better than any poster graphic could: Ultra is using the early reveal to reset familiar names into new formats.
The same pattern runs through the rest of the announcement. Marshmello and Subtronics are billed for their first world-debut set together, Boris Brejcha B2B Eric Prydz Presents Cirez D will make its U.S. debut, and Sara Landry x Divine Intervention arrives in the U.S. for the first time. Ultra also says Adam Beyer’s Drumcode will get its first dedicated RESISTANCE stage showcase, a structural move that places the label as a stage feature rather than just another slot on the lineup.
There is still a catch, and it is the one built into the word Phase 1. Ultra Music Festival is unveiling a major 2027 lineup, but this is not the full bill. More names remain to come, and the strongest clue to what follows is the way the festival is mixing returns with debut concepts, from Miss Monique Presents BIORHYTHM and Nico Moreno B2B NOVAH to SOFI TUKKER Presents Animal Talk and a first artist-curated takeover of the Live Stage.
For now, the clear takeaway is that Ultra Miami 2027 is already shaping up as a festival of both reunion and reinvention. Calvin Harris is back in the room, several long-running names are returning, and the next phases will determine whether this first drop was the main statement or just the opening move.
