As Spinner previously reported, the 2011 incarnation of the Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Fla. transforms the electronic-minded event from a daylong gathering to a full-on three-day extravaganza. Furthermore, the fest unentangles itself this year from the previously concurrent Winter Music Conference, a SXSW-flavored electronic music convention that traditionally takes over Miami during March. For the first time, the two events do not overlap.

On Tuesday, Ultra Music Festival unveiled what it's calling the "second phase" of its lineup rollout. Joining the ceremonies will be a mix of traditional bands that have embraced electronic technology -- such as Duran Duran (pictured) and the Disco Biscuits -- alongside traditional DJs and producers that have embraced the live realm -- such as Moby, Kaskade, Sasha and Cut Copy. These additions join previously announced headliners Tiesto, deadmau5, Chemical Brothers, David Guetta, Carl Cox and Crystal Castles. Of course, the list goes on but other performers of note include: Chromeo, CSS, will.i.am, Rusko, NERO and Empire of the Sun. And so on.

Advance ticket packages are available now and, as is the trend in the industry at large, the sooner you buy, the more you save. The full deets can be found on the official Ultra Music Festival website. Oh -- and the event takes place on March 25-27 at Bicentennial Park in Miami.
