Travel back to Bayfront Park with Ultra 2023 sets from Hardwell, ISOxo, Eric Prydz presents HOLO, and more
Ultra weekend continually prevails as the fastest three days of the calendar. While the wait in between each March seems to inch at the most gradual pace imaginable, Ultra’s annual return to southern Florida moves at the blink of an eye. With Ultra’s 2022 festival—its first at Bayfront Park since 2018—completely in the rearview, a new era the iconic festival was upon us, with Ultra officially moving forward on a newly agreed upon contract that would keep it in downtown Miami through at least 2027. And as usual, the post-Ultra depression is currently at an unfathomably high level, with the only possible solution to even slightly mitigate that being to relive as much as possible from the days of March 24, 25, and 26.
Just based on another top-shelf mainstage design alone from Richard Milstein and company, those both traveling to Miami to witness it all in person along with the thousands more watching the livestream from the comforts of their home were well aware that festival season was going to commence in a priceless fashion as always. And to absolutely no one’s surprise, that’s—of course— what happened. From Charlotte de Witte’s techno introduction to the Ultra mainstage to Martin Garrix‘s ID-doused Friday night return to ISOxo’s packed-out Worldwide debut to Hardwell‘s all-time hour of bigroom-techno perfection all the way to Swedish House Mafia‘s scorching, club-ready closing finale, Ultra 2023 was another shining example of why so many believe that dance music is currently experiencing what can only be described as a modern day golden age. While we already start the countdown until we’re back at Bayfront Park for Ultra 2024, relive every currently available set from this past weekend below.
This list will be updated as more sets become available.
