Russell Faibisch – Founder, Executive Producer and CEO of Ultra Music Festival and Ultra Worldwide™ shared his excitement, saying:
“As Ultra expands to all corners of the globe, continuing to bring the festival to new frontiers, there truly may not be a more beautiful location than South Africa. The memories that everyone came away with after the inaugural edition were timeless. The fans there are truly passionate, and they encompassed what loving the music and indeed our experience is all about. We are raising the bar in February, bringing Ultra back to South Africa in a big way. We’re looking forward to growing the event there for many years to come, and making Ultra South Africa a destination festival that every music fan should experience at least once in their lifetime.”
Adam Russakoff – Executive Producer, Talent Booker and Director of Business Affairs for Ultra Music Festival and Ultra Worldwide added:
“First year shows usually tend to be replete with growing pains, but with South Africa it just instantly worked. It certainly helped that we had a massive lineup and the energy really transcended to the crowd. Ultra South Africa turned out to be a very special show for our team, the Artists and most importantly the fans lucky enough to be there to witness history in the making. Continuing with our trend of coming stronger every year, our second edition in South Africa surely won’t disappoint as evidenced by this tremendous first phase lineup announcement.”
Shaun Duvet – Founding partner of Ultra South Africa™ said:
“To say that Ultra has changed my life is an understatement. It is an absolute honour to part of such an incredible global family. In year 1 of Ultra South Africa we set the tone, now in year 2 we have learned a whole bunch of new tricks and can’t wait to show the South African public an experience they will never forget!”
