Instead, they will be joined by a star-studded cast of artists \u2013 Afrojack, Armand Van Helden, Boys Noize, Kelly Lee Owens and MPH. The \u201cfestival within a festival\u201d will culminate with Axwell joining Angello and Ingrosso for a Swedish House Mafia set.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rumours initially erupted today (25th March) after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DWUF12QDRXo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer external nofollow noopener\">a post<\/a> was shared to Ultra\u2019s Instagram account depicting a \u201cpeeking eye\u201d emoji covering its face. The only other element attached to the unusual post is an audio snippet of Swedish House Mafia\u2019s 2011 hit \u2018Save The World\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Comments under the post immediately had excited fans hoping for the return of the trio of Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell to the Ultra stage. The last time they played the festival together was in 2023, which followed their surprise post-hiatus reunion set in 2018, which had closed the event out. Prior to that, their last performance together had been at Ultra 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Ultra returns to Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami from Friday 27th to Sunday 29th March.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Opening night boasts a stacked line-up, including headline sets from <a href=\"https:\/\/djmag.com\/content\/10-moments-defined-major-lazer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Major Lazer<\/a> on the Main Stage, <a href=\"https:\/\/djmag.com\/news\/armin-van-buuren-voted-worlds-no-1-trance-dj-dj-mags-top-100-djs-2025\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Armin Van Buuren<\/a> on the Worldwide Stage, preceded by his b2b with Marlon Hoffstadt,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/djmag.com\/news\/listen-eric-prydz-play-hour-of-unreleased-music-first-epic-radio-show-six-years\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Eric Prydz<\/a> on the Megastructure, and <a href=\"https:\/\/djmag.com\/features\/sara-landry-hard-technos-high-frequency-priestess\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sara Landry<\/a> on The Cove stage.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Friday on the Live Stage will feature sets from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/djmag.com\/top100djs\/2025\/14\/steve-aoki\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Steve Aoki<\/a>, Laidback Luke, and more ahead of a closing performance from\u00a0Levity presents Lasership.
