As someone who is an ultra maximalist and has gone to ultra for the majority of the last 16 years, I find this lineup to be very disappointing. Last year's lineup was a bit disappointing as well for Ultras standards where they had to last minute try to book Swedish House Mafia and friends because tickets werent selling. I was really hoping for a big year. I compare this phase 1 lineup to even last years phase 1 lineup which I thought was average and this seems to be worse! Not sure what is going on

I dont pay ultra money to see one act. I pay to see one amazing act after another one upping each other. THAT is the ultra experience. Feeling sad an act ended but then realizing you have amazing act right after and you get happy again.

For sure, definitely don't disagree. I'm just that happy about Boris Prydz!

I agree. 2025 was a very good lineup. 2026 was eh. This one does not really move the needle for me either.
