Two more things:
1. This lineup is probably referring to people who are going to be playing at the clubs and not at the actual conference - and trust me, this list is going to get bigger.
2. If you squint on that recently leaked lineup, it looks like The Whip is playing Ultra.
All right, sweet…thanks again. I’m flying down to Miami, by myself I might add, for the first time for UMF…will be in town Thursday through Sunday. The last few years I’ve been drooling over the UMF lineup and this year, now with a real job, I told myself I’m going one way or another, even if I could find no one else to go with or if I was crashing on the street (however, i found a cheap hostel). I won’t bother with the WMC, though I love The Whip, but will certainly keep a lookout for good club nights or cooler parties. If you hear of any good parties as the time gets near, hook a brother up.
Okay, here’s how it works. There is the official WMC conference, much like the official SXSW conference with Keynote speakers and whatever bullshit. Nobody that I know goes to that, ever. You can get a wristband or badge for the show if you’re into and it will get you into Ultra. Like I said, this crap isn’t worth it.
Also like SXSW, the rest of Metropolitan Miami (Downtown and South Beach) are buzzing like crazy from Tuesday to Sunday night. Most clubs have insane lineups and if you’re into electronic music at all you should have no problem finding cool things to do during that week. Club nights are not things you can get into with a wristband though.
That Friday and Sunday, Ultra opens its doors and becomes the hottest thing to do each of those days. It ends at midnight and there’s still stuff to do afterwards, though. The official after parties usually suck and all you have to do is keep your ear to the ground to hear about the cooler parties.
Can someone explain the difference or relationship between the WMC and Ultra Music Festival? Can anyone get into the WMC? I believe I saw there was free entry to Ultra with a WMC wristband or badge, but I would assume it is not the other way around. Thanks…
