With phases 1 and 2 of the 15th annual Ultra Music Festival having been released, this year's event is shaping up to be one of the most memorable in the festival's history. With so many massive names added to the bill, enormous hype has begun to surround the festival, even aside from the stir created from Ultra's 1st ever two-weekend event announcement. With numerous acts and stages featured at this year's UMF, the first phases of the lineup may appear a bit intimidating, so we are here to help break it down for you.

For the techno heads, the ultra-famous Carl Cox tent offers John Digweed, Luciano, Adam Beyer, Sven Vath, Loco Dice, and of course, the man himself, Mr. Carl Cox.

Fans of trance have the highly anticipated ASOT tent to look forward to, which includes Dash Berlin, A&B, Markus & Ferry, ATB, and of course, the one and only Armin.

For those bass-addicts looking to indulge in dubstep and trap, look for the Ultra Chile tent on Weekend One and the TRAPPED and DROPZONE tents on Weekend Two with artists like Zeds Dead, Rusko, Dillion Francis, Flosstradamus, and Borgore.

For the live acts, look for the 'live' stage (duh), with acts like Snoop Dog, Azealia Banks, Faithless, and Krewella.

Those who want to discover the underground, head to the Surface tent to see Claude VonStroke, Maya Jane Coles, Damian Lazarus, and a sure-to-be fabulous B2B set with Nic Fanciulli & Joris Voorn.

OWSLA (Skrillex's label) and Toolroom (Mark Knight's label) are both getting their own tents, as well friends of Afrojack in the JACKED tent.

And last but not least, the stars of it all on Mainstage from the likes of Avicii, David Guetta, deadmau5, Tiesto, Kaskade, Steve Aoki, and Hardwell to Fedde Le Grand, Zedd, Dirty South, Calvin Harris, Laidback Luke, Benny Benassi, Wolfgang & Prydz, and of course, the end of the Swedish House Mafia's World-Wide One Last Tour.

And guess what... thats not even the end of it! One last batch of sure-to-be spectacular artists is still to be announced in Phase 3, so stay tuned! In the mean time, check out the full Ultra Music Festival 2013 poster below.
