Big names in dance rock, trance and techno are headlining the Ultra Music Festival at this year's Miami Winter Music Conference.

The tenth edition of Ultra sees over a hundred DJs and live acts playing the two-day festival, which traditionally closes out the WMC. Line-ups for ten stages across Friday and Saturday have been announced so far with four more to come.

Top of the bill is Underworld, but the big new thing at UMF10 is electro and dance rock with Justice, Digitalism, Erol Alkan, Boys Noize and MSTRKRFT all playing on the Friday. Trance and progressive DJs include Sasha, John Digweed, Paul Van Dyk and Ferry Corsten, while the Carl Cox & Friends arena has Coxy playing with Richie Hawtin, Danny Tenaglia and Josh Wink. The Amnesia Ibiza stage has M.A.N.D.Y, Damian Lazarus and Lee Burridge, while as usual, there are a few odd billings: Justice will DJ right before Tiesto on the main stage, while born again jock Moby will also be on the turntables despite the arrival of a new album.
