Armin van Buuren & Marlon Hoffstadt’s Ultra Miami 2026 B2B now available: Relive
Fans can now relive one of the standout moments from Ultra Music Festival Miami 2026, as the B2B set between Armin van Buuren and Marlon Hoffstadt has officially surfaced online.
The recording captures the two artists sharing the stage during A State of Trance’s Friday night takeover, a moment that brought together two distinct yet complementary sides of the modern trance spectrum. While Armin van Buuren represents the genre’s global legacy, Marlon Hoffstadt – also known as DJ Daddy Trance – continues pushing a rave-driven revival of classic trance energy for a new generation.

Throughout the set, the pair moved between nostalgic references and contemporary club weapons. Highlights included Hoffstadt’s ‘Turn It Up’ and ‘Breathe’, the infectious house anthem ‘Think About It’ by Ida Corr and 2HOT2PLAY, and a mashup featuring Armin van Buuren’s ‘Space Case’ alongside classics such as Cosmic Gate’s ‘Exploration of Space’ and ‘Shivers’ featuring Susana.
The performance now joins a growing collection of Ultra Miami 2026 sets uploaded to YouTube, giving fans a chance to revisit the festival’s biggest moments. Performances from Swedish House Mafia, Afrojack, Martin Garrix & Alesso, ISOXO, and Eric Prydz have also appeared online following the event.
Returning once again to its home at Bayfront Park, this year’s edition of Ultra welcomed 165,000 attendees from over 100 countries, while an additional 42.5 million viewers tuned in online worldwide.
The weekend concluded with a massive Swedish House Mafia closing set, featuring appearances from Eric Prydz, Armand Van Helden, Kelly Lee Owens, Boys Noize, Afrojack and MPH, as well as a touching tribute to Avicii.
“Miami is our flagship destination and our home, and it has played a defining role in shaping our ethos,” said Russell Faibisch, Co-Founder and CEO of Ultra Music Festival. “This recognition reflects the relationship we’ve built here over time, and we look forward to continuing to contribute to the culture and the broader community.”
