The 2014 issue of the Ultra Music Festival in Miami has just wrapped up, much to the relief of some and dismay of others wanting more of the music. This year’s lineup provided to pack a punch, and the many that attended the event were as colorful as always. Many were excited to pack Miami’s Bayfront Park for the festival that ran from March 28 through the 30th.

Of course, when thousands upon thousands of people get together, there will surely be unfortunate events that happen along the way. And this happened on day one when a group of fans without tickets attempted to force their entrance, trampling a poor security guard in the process. The guard remains in the hospital due to the unfortunate misguiding of a few, but alas the show went on. And like any music festival, the Ultra Music Festival is about the music.

Day One

The festival got off to a bang that saw artists from around the globe and music genres get together to play in front of an enthusiastic and appreciating crowd. No matter which stage of the seven that were offered at this year’s event, there was someone to see. Day one was stuffed with stupendous artists, from MGMT to Zedd, Kaskade, Eric Prydz and Tiësto. There was a lot to see and hear during day one. One of the memorable moments of the night came when Tiësto invited the women of Icona Pop on stage with him to perform their song Let’s Go.

Day Two

The crowds continued dancing and cheering through day two, a Saturday that was met with many great artists and performers. The hot and muggy weather of Saturday eventually brought a storm of showers around 9 PM local time, but the rain couldn’t damper the sets of Deadmau5 and Armin van Buuren’s red hot performances. Downpours aside, the fans of the Ultra Music Festival continued to dance the night away.

Day Three

The enthusiastic crowd continued bouncing and shaking into day three, which saw a Sunday full of joy and excitement. Paul van Dyk, Gaia, New World Punx, AfroJack, Jack U, Hardwell and David Guetta were just some of the fantastic acts to perform on the last day of the festival, and some wish that it never returns. Miami officials have called for an end to the Ultra Music Festival, as the incident on day one and several arrests have made officials angry.
