Carl Cox is Set to Turn His Carl Cox Invites Arena Within The Megastructure into a Living, Breathing Instrument When He Debuts “Evolution” – A Fully Live, Experiential Music Experience Premiering at Ultra Music Festival’s Resistance Stage on March 29, 2025

Carl Cox is stripping it all back to the essence of dance music. This March, at Ultra Music Festival’s 25th Anniversary, Carl unveils “EVOLUTION”, his most ambitious fully live show to date. Armed with drum machines, sequencers, synthesizers, and an arsenal of sound, Carl will be building, shaping, and reconstructing every track live on stage. He’s untethered from DJ confines, conducting an awe-inspiring symphony of lights and sound to unleash those long-dormant rushes of emotion and connection that we all long for and that only his mind could inspire and create.

EVOLUTION is not about spectacle, it’s about connection. The show strips away the excess and puts the focus back on the music, inviting fans to experience dance music in its truest form. Nothing contrived, no overproduced theatrics, just Carl taking control of every element, from drums to bass, melodies to lighting, and creating a symbiotic flow where the entire venue becomes his instrument. Expect a purposeful, powerful, and electrifying performance that will plug people back into the thrill of discovery on their terms and allow for those magical organic moments on the dancefloor to once again come to life.

"With Evolution, I want to take people on a journey, a unified moment in time that will never happen the same way ever again. I want each person to know and feel when we ‘Evolve’ together, it’s just you, me, and the dancefloor.” – Carl Cox

With Ultra Music Festival’s 25-year legacy as the world’s premier stage for dance musica innovation, it’s only fitting that Carl Cox’s next groundbreaking chapter begins here. “EVOLUTION” is more than a show, it’s an invitation for you to get back to the dancefloor.
