ULTRA PRODUCES 45 EVENTS IN 20 COUNTRIES

The closing ceremony of the second annual edition of ULTRA Brasil on Saturday, October 14, marked the culmination of another year of monumental success and international expansion for ULTRA Worldwide – a year which saw over 1 million people attend 45 events in 20 countries across 5 continents.

ULTRA Brasil, the newly expanded 3-day festival, saw over 90,000 fans attend Rio De Janeiro’s Sambodromo marking the end of ULTRA’s 2017 impressive Latin America run. Following the massive debut of ULTRA México the week prior, and a huge array of standalone RESISTANCE and Road To ULTRA events across seven different countries over the course of ten days, this was ULTRA’s most prolific takeover of Latin America thus far.
