Having just hosted the ULTRA Music Festival during its highly anticipated debut in Hong Kong last month, the city’s Central Harbourfront Event Space continues to ramp up its year-round mega-events schedule.

One of the world’s premier electronic music events, the ULTRA Hong Kong festival featured a stellar lineup of globally acclaimed DJs, including Alesso, Marshmello, Steve Aoki, Hot Since 82, Massano, Miss Monique, and Disco Lines across Main Stage and RESISTANCE stages.
