Ultra Music Festival has announced phase two of its 2013 lineup.

In March, the festival will feature virtually every popular EDM artist, adding Alesso, Benny Benassi, Dirty South, Dog Blood (Skrillex and Boys Noize), Eric Prydz, Fedde Le Grand, Hardwell, Loco Dice, Luciano, Laidback Luke, Martin Solveig, Pretty Lights, Steve Aoki and Sven Väth to its already stacked bill.

The lineup already featured DJ sets by Afrojack, Armin Van Buuren, Avicii, Bassnectar, Calvin Harris, Carl Cox, David Guetta, Fatboy Slim, Kaskade, Knife Party, Richie Hawtin, Swedish House Mafia and Tiesto.

A slew of live acts have also been announced, including Azealia Banks, Faithless, Sleigh Bells, Snoop Lion and The Weeknd, who will join Bloody Beetroots, Booka Shade, Boys Noize, Crystal Castles, deadmau5, Disclosure, Hot Chip, Major Lazer, Thievery Corporation and Yeasayer.

The event will be held over two consecutive weekends, Coachella-style, on March 15-17, and March 22-24. This year's festivities mark the Ultra Music Festival's 15th anniversary, and representatives promise to pull out all the stops.

"In celebration of Ultra Music Festival's double weekend and 15 year anniversary, what we've achieved with this edition's ocean of talent and stage production is, we feel, unprecedented," says Ultra Music Festival founder, Executive Producer, CEO & President Russell Faibisch. "As the industry we work in continues to explode, with so much talent emerging and the taste of our consumer changing in the process, diversity was key."

While we can't attest to their claims regarding diversity, we will say that if EDM is your thing, this year's festival has literally everything you could possibly hope for.
