The inevitable has happened, Ultra Music Festival Miami has officially canceled its 2021 edition.
Known to herald the beginning of festival season, this time around the unavoidable and official cancellation of Ultra brings with it clear signs that Spring / Summer festivals aren’t quite in a position to resume for at least another year.
In a statement shared by the festival giants, they said,
“We know you are craving those magical moments where you’re lost in the beat, spellbound by the production, and harmoniously surrounded by old and new friends from around the world that can be experienced at a festival, but unfortunately it is still not safe enough for that to happen yet.”
Once more, however, even two years down, Ultra seems to be calling this a “reschedule” rather than a cancellation which it clearly is at this point saying,
“Given the current status of the COVID-19 pandemic, in relation to mass gatherings and public health considerations, we’re deeply saddened to be forced to reschedule Ultra Music Festival to March 25,26, and 27, 2022.”
This rightly so caused an outburst from already livid ticket holders since the 2020 edition, over the festival, not offerings even the option for a refund.
