Performers for the 13th annual ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL will be unveiled in
the coming weeks with the promoters promising nothing short of the incredible
caliber of talent they've procured in years past. States UMF Co-Founder
Russell Faibisch, "We are really excited to return to Miami in 2011 at the
end of March, especially as a three-day event with our most diverse program
to date. The strength of our line-up really dictated this expansion and we
look forward to announcing it very soon. While past headliners including The
Cure and Black Eyed Peas — plus annual massive sets from Tiesto, deadmau5,
Carl Cox and so many of the world's incredible electronic talents — have
driven UMF to become bigger and better each year, I am certain that our 2011
program will continue to exceed everyone's expectations." Fans of UMF can
