Having already established gargantuan events in Miami, Argentina, Chile, Croatia, Brazil, Korea and Ibiza in its 15-year history, ULTRA SOUTH AFRICA will be the EIGHTH international edition of the Miami super festival, making it the most international festival brand in the world by quite some way. Guaranteeing the same level of world-class talent, along with the meticulous attention to detail and world-beating production that characterizes all of their worldwide events, Ultra South Africa will bring its unique experience to a new market, increasingly hungry for dance music. Russell Faibisch – Founder, Executive Producer and CEO of Ultra Music Festival and Ultra Worldwide shared his excitement by saying: South Africa is without a doubt one of the most burgeoning territories in the world when it comes to their ever-growing enthusiasm towards electronic music. Their demand for world-class electronic acts has become truly overwhelming of late, and the infrastructure in place to put on an event like Ultra is healthier than its ever been. This thriving scene, coupled with the additional fact that the two venues weve found for the first edition are some of the most beautiful Ive ever come across, made the decision to expand into Africa an extremely exciting one to make. Adam Russakoff – Executive Producer, Talent Booker and Director of Business Affairs for Ultra Music Festival and Ultra Worldwide went on to say: If theres one ethos that characterizes each and every one of our worldwide events, its the unmatched experience that we offer our fans. This unique Ultra experience is ultimately achieved by delivering the very best forward-thinking lineups alongside unbeatable production values, and I can absolutely guarantee that next years inaugural edition of Ultra South Africa will be no exception. The local promoters weve chosen to work with have an exceptional reputation for putting on the biggest and very best events in South Africa and our expansion into such a booming market is something Im very much looking forward to. Shaun Duvet, MD at Electric Music – the South African partner and co-organizer of the festival – added: Over the past three years we (Electric) have successfully toured the worlds biggest DJs and in doing so feel that the South African audience has been building up momentum to take on a festival of massive proportion... All electronically focused of course. Having been to Ultra Miami and Europe, we felt the market was indeed ready for Ultra, South Africa, and judging by the levels of anticipation here, it is.
