As the 15th edition of Ultra Music Festival in Miami draws ever closer—with the first weekend taking place March 15-17 just over a month away—the festival has announced the “Road To Ultra: A Long Way From Home” North American Club Tour.
Venturing into nine markets around the U.S., the tour bus will move through six states as it stops off to delight music lovers in Atlantic City, NYC, Boston, Syracuse, Pontiac, Chicago, Austin, South Padre Island and Houston.
Spearheading this assault will be Dutch superstar Fedde le Grand with Sultan & Ned Shepard, who will bring a bit of the experience of the world’s premier electronic dance music event to club-goers for the festival’s first ever North American club tour before ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL kicks off Friday, March 15.
Fedde Le Grand is no stranger to ULTRA stages and is guaranteed to bring the same expertise behind the decks as ever, both throughout the tour and when he lands in Miami on the first Friday afternoon to rock the ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL 2013 Main Stage. Always a favorite with fans across the globe and ever the consummate professional, he’s the perfect choice to get audiences up and down the U.S. moving to the ULTRA beat. More than ably supporting Fedde for each date of this tour is Canada-based electro duo Sultan + Ned Shepard, whose live shows have won them great acclaim in addition to releases such as 2012’s “Walls” and their most recent offering “Army” that saw them join forces with Nervo.
This is the first time ever that ULTRA has put on a series of events of this kind in the 15 years since it all began, and fans can expect the same relentless energy and superior quality to be delivered through the speaker systems of each club on the tour as they will be pounding out of every stack in Bayfront Park come March 15.
