For the first time in its history, Ultra Music Festival is introducing a minimum age of attendance to its flagship festival in Miami.

Beginning with its 2015 edition, confirmed for March 27, 28 and 29 2015, Ultra Music Festival will now only allow those aged 18 years and older to attend the event.

In an official statement made today, Ultra Music Festival organizers explained the change:

“While we sincerely value the incredible ongoing support from our younger fans, we ultimately believe that Ultra Music Festival is a premium event geared towards adults. This decision has been made to reinforce and promote the safety of all Ultra Music Festival fans and to ensure the overall enjoyment of all future attendees. We are extremely grateful for all the support we have received from our younger fan base to date, and we encourage them to attend the festival once they reach the appropriate age. Until then, our free YouTube stream, ‘ULTRA LIVE’ is available worldwide for everyone, all ages to enjoy and to share in the Ultra experience.”

Good thing too because the crowd has been getting younger and younger each year with freshmen and middle schoolers attending

Can't wait for 2015

Good. Too many 16/17 year olds who don't know how to handle their liquor keep showing up and ruining it for everyone else.

What about children's festivals like Kinderfest?

I pt really wasn't that big of a deal. I went last year when I was 16 and most of the people were all over 18. Mostly college kids and foreigners . I'm still gonna go this year though

Smart. The drinking and drugs is bad to have middle schoolers around.
