The Winter Music Conference (WMC) is officially returning to Miami for its 35th anniversary, marking its first edition since 2019. Scheduled for March 26th-28th at Eden Roc Miami Beach, the event promises a rich program of talks, panels, workshops, and networking opportunities. This iconic event, which has shaped the trajectory of electronic music for over three decades, will culminate with the inaugural EDMAs/IDMAs Hybrid Awards Show. The awards ceremony, described as a “celebration of dance music’s brightest stars,” will feature live performances and honor the most influential names in the genre.
Running alongside WMC, Miami Music Week will take over the city, hosting electronic music’s biggest names in a series of unforgettable events. One of the most anticipated highlights, Ultra Music Festival, will celebrate its 25th anniversary from March 28th-30th at Bayfront Park. The festival has already revealed an impressive lineup, including Carl Cox, Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Richie Hawtin, Charlotte de Witte, and Axwell, who will headline the main stage as a solo act for the first time. Special performances like deadmau5 b2b Pendulum, Anyma b2b Solomun, and Richie Hawtin’s debut of his DEX EFX X0X live show promise to make this edition unforgettable.
The phase two announcement of Ultra’s 2025 lineup brings even more excitement, with additions like Dubfire performing his album Evolv, Knife Party, Claude VonStroke as Barclay Crenshaw, Steve Aoki, and TOKiMONSTA. Rising stars and experimental collaborations, including Australian DJ Partiboi69’s Area 69 concept, further enrich the festival’s offerings. Tickets for both WMC and Ultra are available now, and fans are encouraged to secure their spots to experience this unparalleled celebration of dance music culture.
Since its inception in 1985, WMC has been a pivotal force in the electronic music industry, serving as a launchpad for seminal tracks, transformative collaborations, and groundbreaking discussions. Now under the stewardship of ULTRA Worldwide, WMC 2025 will honor its legacy while embracing the future of electronic music. This convergence of WMC’s 35th anniversary and Ultra’s 25th edition reaffirms Miami’s status as the global epicenter of dance music.
