Ultra Music Festival KOREA, a dance music festival which attracted more than 60,000 party lovers last summer, will return to Korea on Dec. 8 with an all new lineup.

After a mega success in Seoul, the ULTRA headquarters in Miami decided to return to Jamsil Indoor Stadium with top class DJs under the banner, “ROAD TO ULTRA KOREA.”

“Korea’s ‘hallyu’ wave is sweeping across the globe and the capital city of Seoul is one of the cultural centers of Asia, which is why ULTRA headquarters decided to host its first outdoor festival in Asia at Olympic Stadium in Seoul and its first indoor festival in Asia at Jamsil Indoor Stadium,” UMF Korea said in a press release. 

Several artists are already confirmed to perform, namely Diplo, who has produced for top artists including Beyonc, No Doubt, Usher, and Snoop Lion as well as Korean boy band Big Bang. The December festival will also feature rising rookie DJs, including Dutch progressive and electro house artist DJ Hardwell, who also produced with Tisto, Rhianna, Bob Sinclair and Flo Rida. Hardwell was named 6th in British monthly electronic dance music and DJ magazine DJ Mag’s top 100 DJs list in 2012. The lineup will also include Major Lazer and R3HAB, which brought its modern “Dutch house” sounds to ULTRA KOREA 2012 alongside Afrojack and Chuckie. The rising DJ Dillon Francis will also be performing.

While early bird tickets sold out in 47 minutes, tickets are available at 110,000 won for General Assembly and 150,000 won for V.I.P. seating. Tickets can be purchased via Interpark, Auction or YES24. For more information, visit www.umfkorea.com.
