MIAMI – Saturday was the second night of the Ultra Music Festival in downtown Miami. The beat of electronic dance music had to end earlier than planned on Friday, the first night, because of the stormy weather.
UMF organizers expected about 55,000 EDM fans to take over Bayfront Park. Miami police officers closed a section of Biscayne Boulevard in both directions starting Thursday night.
The festival’s lineup included Swiss DJs Adrian Shala and Adrian Schweizer, better known as Adriatique; Scottish DJ Calvin Harris, French DJ David Guetta, and English DJ Alexander “Elderbrook” Kotz.
The list of Dutch DJs included Nick “Afrojack” van de Wall and Armin van Buuren. The list of Swedish DJs included Eric Prydz and Adam Beyer. The few women performing included Belgian DJ Amelie Lens, Russian DJ Nina Kraviz, and Swiss-South African DJ Daniela “Nora En Pure” Di Lillo.’
Chief Manuel Morales said on Wednesday that his teams were ready to work in and around the area.
“We search everybody as they’re coming in to make sure there are no weapons or illegal items,” Morales said adding, “We have undercover officers inside, not only looking for individuals looking to prey on victims — but any type of suspicious individuals.”
The festival opened from noon to midnight on Saturday, and from noon to 10 p.m. on Sunday. For more information about UMF, visit his page.
