Moby, John Digweed, Soulwax Nite Versions (2manydjs Live),
Junkie Xl, Benny Benassi And Boris Confirmed.
Tickets Go On-Sale August 23rd
Ultra Records and
the Ultra Music Festival organization have teamed up
once again for the second annual ULTRA.NY--the ultimate
New York City electronic music experience--returning
to Central Park's Rumsey Field Friday, September
22. Expected are appearances from dance music's
top-tier talents including headliners Moby and John
Digweed.
Joining Moby and
Digweed at this unique outdoor venue nestled underneath
the leafy rooftop of Rumsey Field will be Soulwax
Nite Versions (2ManyDJs live), Junkie XL (live),
Benny Benassi, Boris and David Waxman. The entrance,
located at 69th St. and Fifth Ave, will open at 4:30
pm and close at 10:00 pm.
Last year upon its
debut, ULTRA.NY--with a live performance from the Chemical
Brothers, plus DJ sets from Paul Oakenfold, Danny Tenaglia,
Erick Morillo and Timo Maas--sold out in advance, solidifying
itself as the largest dance music festival to take
place in the park. Wrote Justin Kleinfeld in Remix
(November 2005), ÒÉpartygoers
had the choice between Oakenfold on the main stage
and Tenaglia in the Ultra tent. Capping off the night
was a live set from the Chemical Brothers, when Ed
Simmons and Tom Rowlands proved once again that nobody
is even close to eclipsing their standard for live
dance music.
Tickets for ULTRA.NY
will go on sale today (Wednesday, August 23) starting
with a limited amount of tickets for $49.75 and will
be available for purchase online exclusively through
www.ultranewyork.com or at Satellite Records located
at 250 Bowery St. With a capacity of 5,000, the event
is expected to sell out so early ticket purchase
is highly recommended.
