After a wild ride of a first edition at its new location, Ultra Music Festival can officially call Virginia Key its home for the next year. The festival, which only had four months to plan for its new location, went off widely without a hitch. There were issues with transportation to and from the venue, specifically when traffic on the causeway leading to the island was shut down, forcing attendees to walk back to the mainland one night.
While this was not the best look for Ultra, a 2 mile walk caused by issues out of the festival's control is not the end of the world. It is also important to remember that this is one of the largest music festivals in the world, and was produced in under 120 days. Marketing and New Media director of Ultra, Albert Berdellans echoed this belief in a recent tweet, which can be found below.
Regardless of the hiccups of its initial edition on the island, fans were pleased with the festival across the board. Berdellans also explained that Ultra 2020 will take place on the island next year. If UMF could produce something this incredible in 4 short months, imagine what they can do with a full year…
pretty tired and will have more complete thoughts on #Ultra2019 later this week so I’ll just say this—
it was an unbelievable festival with only 4 months of planning
with a full year to plan, @ultra Miami in Virginia Key will be life-changing
