Ultra Korea · Seoul, South Korea
The festival
ULTRA Korea is the Korean edition of Ultra Worldwide, the family of Ultra Music Festival (Miami). Launched in 2012 under the name UMF Korea, it is the very first Ultra festival held in Asia: the one that paved the way for the Japan, Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong editions. Its historic setting: Seoul Olympic Stadium, in Jamsil.
The Ultra signature is all there: the Main Stage and its XXL productions, the RESISTANCE stage for techno and underground house. The festival, reserved for the over 19s, drew up to around 180,000 festival-goers in a single edition — the 2018 record, the largest attendance of any festival in South Korea before the pandemic.
After a three-day 2024 edition at Paradise City (Incheon), the 11th edition was held on Saturday 20 September 2025 at the Oil Tank Culture Park in Sangam-dong, Seoul, headlined by Gryffin, Hardwell and Steve Angello, with Adam Beyer and Massano for RESISTANCE. The official aftermovie of the 2024 edition, published by UMF TV, is included below in direct reading.
