Ultra Music Festival Announces Phase 2 Lineup
Following a Phase 1 announcement that could outgun just about every major music festival on the planet, Ultra has upped the ante with what is a simply jaw-dropping Phase 2 lineup.
Alesso, Eric Prydz, Hardwell, Zedd, Porter Robinson, Nicky Romero, Fedde Le Grande and Laidback Luke are just a few of the names you can now add to a list that already included the likes of Avicii, Kaskade, Swedish House Mafia, Tiesto, Knife Party, Armin Van Buuren and Fatboy Slim.
Also incorporated into the Phase 2 announcement are a few less EDM-geared acts like Azealia Banks, Snoop Dogg and The Weeknd, who will accompany Hot Chip, Crystal Castles, Yeasayer and more as part of a slightly more indie “live” portion of the festival.
Ultra co-founder and CEO Russell Faibisch had this to say about the lineup:
In celebration of Ultra Music Festival’s double weekend and 15 year anniversary, what we’ve achieved with this edition’s ocean of talent and stage production is we feel unprecedented. As the industry we work in continues to explode, with so much talent emerging and the taste of our consumer changing in the process, diversity was key.

UPDATE: COACHELLA OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCES 2013 LINEUP

UPDATE (1/24): This poster is fake. For the official Coachella 2013 lineup, see HERE.
Following believable (kind of) news that Daft Punk, Phoenix, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Rolling Stones would be headlining Coachella next year, an entire 2013 lineup has surfaced featuring the aforementioned headliners along with Deadmau5, Missy Elliot, Lana Del Rey, Boys Noize, Fiona Apple, The Prodigy, Passion Pit and The xx and more. The dates have a similar format to last year, and include the weekends of April 12-14 and April 19-21.
Now, as you’ve likely noticed, Coachella rumors have been a trending topic throughout the blogosphere this year. What we do know for sure is that Coachella announced the official 2012 lineup on Monday, January 9th, meaning regardless if this leak is rumor or reality, the official 2013 details should be revealed shortly.
Hit the break to get your hopes up with the assumed 2013 Coachella lineup, and look for an update as this news circulates into the new year.
