BREAKING: Ultra Miami Day 1 Shutting Down Over Severe Weather

Staff is asking attendees to leave the festival site until further notice.

Fresh, yet unfortunate news right here, as our on-site team has confirmed that Ultra Music Festival Miami has been suspended for the time being. This, due to a front of bad weather currently in the area. The entirety of Bayfront Park has been evacuated, anticipating the rain and winds, which had been present since the get-go on this year’s Ultra Miami, could get worse.

Ultra has made an official announcement on their socials, asking everybody to leave the site, including the press. It reads: “ULTRA ALERT / SEVERE WEATHER – LIGHTNING & STRONG WINDS. For your safety, Ultra Friday is temporarily shutting down. Please calmly leave the park now“.

A warning had been made earlier today regarding the weather and how light rain could turn into heavy thunder and lightning, and so this was somewhat foreseeable. We’re on the lookout for more information as to the state of the festival, if it will be resumed today, and in case it isn’t, how, when — or if — the remaining Day 1 sets will be rescheduled.

Stay tuned for more news.
