Afrojack stunned fans at Ultra 25th anniversary with an electrifying surprise, bringing out David Guetta and Sia for the first-ever live performance of their 2011 mega-hit, “Titanium”.
The moment became an instant piece of electronic music history, with the trio standing together on stage for the first time in front of a sold-out Miami crowd and millions watching worldwide via Ultra’s #ULTRALIVE broadcast. Since its release, Titanium has amassed over 4 billion streams, making it one of the most iconic dance tracks of the 21st century, yet fans had never witnessed all three artists perform it together – until now. With Ultra’s global platform as the perfect setting, the festival delivered yet another legendary moment that will be talked about for years.
As Afrojack’s high-energy set neared its climax, he began teasing the crowd with David Guetta’s Sexy Bitch, instantly signaling that something big was about to happen. When Guetta stepped onto the stage, the energy in the crowd exploded. The two DJs embraced, with Guetta calling Afrojack his “little brother” and acknowledging the crucial role he played in the production of Titanium. Just as fans were processing that epic moment, Sia made a completely unexpected entrance, dressed in custom Dolce & Gabbana with her signature wig, sending the crowd into an emotional frenzy. It marked Sia’s first-ever appearance at an electronic music festival, making the moment even more historic. As she belted out the soaring vocals of Titanium, the audience sang along in unison, creating an unforgettable spectacle of lights, music, and raw emotion.
Beyond the nostalgia of Titanium, Guetta and Sia had another surprise in store. They delivered a live performance of their newest collaboration, Beautiful People, which dropped earlier this month, treating fans to a fresh anthem that is already making waves. Meanwhile, Afrojack seized the opportunity to debut his latest single, Never Forget You, a track that pays homage to his early sound and serves as a tribute to his most dedicated fans. The combination of past and present hits solidified the night as one of the most special in Ultra’s history.
Ultra Music Festival’s 25th anniversary proved why it remains the premier stage for unforgettable moments in electronic music. Over the years, Ultra has been home to groundbreaking collaborations, surprise reunions, and history-making performances, and this year was no different. Afrojack’s performance perfectly captured the spirit of Ultra – an electrifying energy, unexpected surprises, and the rare magic that comes from uniting global music icons on the same stage.
