Ultra BRASIL 2016 will take place in Rio de Janeiro
By Alexandre Trochut
Last December, Ultra Worldwide announced the return of Ultra BRASIL but had maintained the suspense of the announcement of the host city, what is now over since the publication of a video announcing the city of Rio de Janeiro as the one selected for the 2016 edition of Ultra BRASIL.
Over the past seventeen years, literally thousands of the world’s most iconic DJs, producers and live acts have mesmerized audiences with awe-inspiring sets at ULTRA festivals in Argentina, Bali, Brazil, Chile, Croatia, Ibiza, Japan, Korea, South Africa and of course Miami, as well as ROAD TO ULTRA® events in Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Macau, Paraguay, Peru, The Philippines, Puerto Rico, Seoul, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Tokyo and the USA. Each and every new global edition is founded on the same successful recipe that has been perfected over seventeen years in Miami, combining the most diverse electronic talent with the most technologically advanced, large-scale festival productions in the world.
In 2015, the ULTRA and ULTRA WORLDWIDE™ brands have continued to push the boundaries, bringing an unparalleled combination of cutting edge productions and the world’s best electronic acts back to previous strongholds and new frontiers across the globe. With its recent festival editions breaking records in Japan (September 2015), South Africa (February 2015), Korea (June 2015), Croatia (July 2015) and Bali (September 2015), and with the addition of the many new ROAD TO ULTRA® events all over the world, the ULTRA brand has now united 19 Countries across 5 Continents worldwide but Brasil remains one of the largest growing markets for electronic music so it's everything but not a surprise that Rio de Janeiro which will welcomes the Olympic Games this summer was chosen as the host city for its return of Ultra BRASIL this coming October 2016. Stay tuned for more infos soon.
