If you love a good night out – dancing up a storm and listening to some of the hottest international and local EDM DJ’s in the world – then ULTRA 2019 is the place for you.

James Morrison first arrived on our music scenes 12 years ago and back in 2006, who would have guessed that not only would James be an iconic name touring the globe – but also that he would be setting the precedent for many other singers who now cite him as their inspiration – such as Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, George Ezra and James Bay to name a few. Despite his self-deprecation and humble nature, he really was the first to take that format and not only make it work but…
