UMF Radio: SiriusXM Music Lounge celebrates 10th anniversary ahead of Ultra Music Festival broadcasts

Music festival season kicks off once again this year down in Miami at the world famous Ultra Music Festival, and we’ll be there to broadcast sets and interviews from the biggest names in electronic dance music.

The festival, which marks the end of Miami’s annual Winter Music Conference, has continued to grow each year as downtown Miami is taken over by artists debuting new and unfinished material, hoping to gain the buzz that will take their careers to the next level.
