A Historic Moment at Ultra’s 25th Anniversary
Ultra Music Festival has long been the epicenter of defining moments in electronic dance music, but its 25th-anniversary edition delivered something truly historic. On March 28, 2025, festivalgoers witnessed a moment over a decade in the making—the first-ever live performance of “Titanium” by its original collaborators: David Guetta, Afrojack, and Sia.
The Legacy of “Titanium”
Originally released in 2011, “Titanium” became more than just a chart-topping hit; it evolved into a generational anthem, blending powerful vocals with anthemic electronic production. With over four billion streams and countless festival remixes, the track is one of the most iconic collaborations in dance music history. Yet, despite its monumental success, the three artists behind it had never performed it together—until now.
An Unforgettable Surprise at Ultra
Ultra’s Mainstage became the setting for this unforgettable moment. Afrojack set the stage by playing Guetta’s 2009 club hit “Sexy Bitch,” reminiscing about their early days working together. Then, to the crowd’s surprise, Guetta himself took the stage, sharing heartfelt words about their journey before dropping the opening notes of “Titanium.”
But the biggest surprise was yet to come.
Draped in an elegant Dolce & Gabbana ensemble and her signature wig, Sia made her first-ever appearance at an EDM festival. The moment her powerful vocals rang through the Miami night, the crowd erupted, realizing they were witnessing history.
The Emotional Impact
For both the artists and the audience, the performance was more than just a spectacle—it was a long-overdue reunion of music legends. Sia’s powerhouse vocals, Afrojack’s dynamic stage presence, and Guetta’s masterful energy created an electrifying atmosphere that left fans in awe.
In an era where festival lineups and collaborations are more predictable than ever, this moment stood out as a reminder of why live music still holds unparalleled magic.
What’s Next?
Following this legendary performance, speculation is already mounting—will this lead to more live performances of “Titanium” or even new collaborations between these three artists? While nothing is confirmed, one thing is certain: Ultra 2025 set the bar high for future festival moments.
For those who missed it, footage of the performance is already making waves online, proving that some moments truly define an era.
