During day 1 of Ultra Music Festival, people were confused and a little annoyed by the between-set DJ represented by Colonel Sanders.
Despite headlining the event, Marshmello called out Ultra for not allowing a hard-working DJ to take this spot. Even Louis The Child has called out Ultra Music Festival for their corporate ad. Louis The Child took to Twitter say “Given the platform you have as a major electronic festival, it would be nice if you used it to showcase what electronic music is about and not make it seem like a joke with corporate promotional nonsense @ultra.”

For reference, this is in response to ultra having colonel sanders of @kfc DJ a main stage set today. Nothing but respect for @ultra and what they have done for this genre of music. Had a great time playing the festival today

Some people are wondering if they decided to call them out after misspelling their name on the live stage.

In all seriousness though, it'll be interesting to see what else Ultra has up their sleeve for the rest of the weekend.
