Miami’s Ultra Music Festival has been postponed due to the spread of coronavirus, the Miami Herald reports. Mayor Francis Suarez and Commissioner Joe Carollo told reporters that the festival, which was scheduled to take place from March 20-22, will not take place until 2021. While an official announcement hasn’t been made by the festival—that’s expected to come on Friday—city officials confirmed the news to the Miami Herald. “The decision was made to postpone it,” City Commissioner Manolo Reyes said.
This year’s festival was set to include performances from Flume, Gesaffelstein, Major Lazer, Zedd, David Guetta, DJ Snake, Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Martin Garrix, and more.
