A list of performers confirmed for Ultra Music Festival 2003 as of February 3 appears below. More artists will be announced. "Ultra is a musical experience incomparable to any other dance event in the U.S., and maybe the world," said Russell Faibisch, Ultra co-founder, CEO, and executive producer. "There are no words to describe the level of energy and happiness of the tens and tens of thousands of party people coming together to enjoy the finest assembly of electronic artists in the most beautiful setting in the world." Ultra performer Paul van Dyk added, "Ultra is the important festival at the WMC. Meanwhile it is a tradition, and a good one, and that's why I am really looking forward to being at Ultra 2003 again." ULTRA PERFORMERS The Ultra Music Festival provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see Underworld -- one of the most successful and dynamic electronic acts in history -- outdoors and under the stars with Miami's gorgeous Biscayne Bay as a backdrop. Most recently, Underworld punctuated 2002 with A Hundred Days Off, a triumphant return to the fold that featured the exuberant and euphoric lead single, "Two Months |

." Always renowned as one of the most stunning live acts touring the globe today, Underworld's Karl Hyde and Rick Smith already wowed crowds on a recent U.S. trek and are sure to enthrall audiences at Ultra. One of the world's most popular DJs, Paul Oakenfold made waves in 2002 with Bunkka, his debut album as a solo studio artist. With tracks like "Ready Steady Go" and "Starry Eyed Surprise," Oakenfold proved his mettle in ways far beyond the dancefloor, but he still knows how to hold it down behind the decks, something sure to be seen during his performance at Ultra 2003. Sasha routinely ranks among the world's most esteemed and influential DJs and producers, as does his frequent DJ partner, John Digweed. After releasing timeless compilation albums for the Global Underground series and teaming with Digweed for Northern Exposure and Communicate, Sasha dropped his debut artist album, Airdrawndagger, in 2002. Digweed, also a Global Underground alum, has released his share of dancefloor gems via his own Bedrock imprint and most recently released another mix CD, MMII, also in 2002. Teaming with fellow Ultra 2003 performer Jimmy Van M, Sasha & Digweed embarked on the Delta Heavy tour in 2002, taking their untouchable DJ sets to audiences across the USA, including the tour's launch in Miami. German electronic music pioneer Paul van Dyk comes to Ultra just a few weeks after the release of Global, a career retrospective that's paired with a DVD documentary of his musical travels. Van Dyk, the mastermind behind such classics as "Tell Me Why (The Riddle)" and "For an Angel" showed off his prowess as a mixmaster with 2001's sprawling compilation, The Politics of Dancing.

Ultra is the largest and fastest growing event of its kind in the United States featuring the world¹s top artists in the electronic music genre. Now in its fifth year, the annual Ultra Music Festival event is held every March in Miami, Florida. The first two Ultra Music Festivals were held on the sand at the 21st Street Beach in Miami Beach but subsequently moved to the larger venue of Bayfront Park in downtown Miami due to the need to accommodate exceeding capacity. In March of 2002, over 30,000 attended Ultra's largest event thus far. Based on year-to-date results reported by Pollstar in May 2002, the March 2002 Ultra event represented the third largest individual act in the United States (after Paul McCartney and *NSYNC), and the seventh larges |
