ULTRA has certainly come a long way since its inception in 1999. These facts aboutย ULTRA will certainly make your jaw drop.

The juggernaut event-production company, ULTRA, hosted 45 events that more than 1,000,000 people attended. To put that in perspective, that’s more than the combined population of Greenland, Iceland, Brunei, and Guam!

With its first ย Australian event scheduled in Melbourne next year, ย Antarctica is the only continent on the planet without an ULTRA-event. However, a certain well-informed penguin in Antarctica told us thatย ULTRA plans to host an event there by 2020.

With millions of fans across the world, not everyone has the privilege of attending anย ULTRA event. However, many choose to experienceย ULTRA’s events vicariously through ULTRAโ€™s livestream. The numbers were off the charts, with a staggering 125,000,000 views. Additionally,ย UMF Radio, broadcasted in over 62 countries, boasts a dedicated listenership of 32,693,400 estimated weekly listeners.
