The 13th Ultra Music Festival drew 150,000 revelers to downtown Miami’s waterfront Bicentennial Park in late March, expanding for the first time to a three-day format. The event, which has developed a huge following among ravers, techno and electric music fans, featured more than 300 DJs and numerous bands performing on six stages.

Headliners on the main stage included The Chemical Brothers, Duran Duran and Tiësto. That stage, provided by Mountain Productions, featured that company’s new pole roofing system. Other stages included the Live Stage, Carl Cox & Friends, UMF Korea, Root Society and the Heineken Dome.

AG Light and Sound also provided a truss dome structure for the Heineken Dome, one of the largest of its kind in the U.S. Steve Lieberman from SJ Lighting was the stage designer for the main stage and festival at large. He chose an assortment of Clay Paky, High End Systems and Vari-Lite fixtures, controlled by AG Light and Sound-supplied grandMA consoles, and worked with Patrick Dierson to program the Carl Cox Arena.
