Ultra Miami 2020 Has Been Cancelled, Amid Coronavirus Concerns

The Miami Herald is reporting that Ultra Music Festival 2020 has been cancelled.

Miami officials met with the Mayor today discussing concerns over the Coronavirus. The Mayor said there was an update, but the update would come on Friday. However, .according to the Miami Herald, the festival has been postponed indefinitely.

“The 2020 Ultra Music Festival will be postponed — possibly for a full year, which would effectively cancel this year’s edition of Miami’s marquee electronic dance music event, the Miami Herald has learned.

The decision to postpone was made in a meeting Wednesday morning between Miami’s elected leaders and Ultra representatives, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. Before the meeting, Mayor Francis Suarez and Commissioner Joe Carollo told reporters they wanted to postpone the event due to concerns over the spread of novel coronavirus, or COVID-19.

City officials have yet to announce details of the change because attorneys are ironing out the legal issues tied to the decision, including the length of the delay, sources said.”
