RESISTANCE, the esteemed underground concept of ULTRA Worldwide, is hailed as the most international house and techno festival brand, with active events on all six inhabited continents.

Since its inception in 2015, RESISTANCE has grown into a global powerhouse of underground curation, from programming stages at Ultra events in 35 cities worldwide to organizing tours across Latin America and Asia. RESISTANCE debuted its first-ever residency in Ibiza in 2017 at the world's largest nightclub, Privilege, and has since welcomed international house and techno heavyweights. In its second season, RESISTANCE Ibiza was awarded the coveted title of 'Best Ibiza Night 2018' by DJ Awards.

Following three successful years in Ibiza, Ultra has announced the launch of RESISTANCE's first U.S. club residency in the festival's beloved hometown of Miami Beach. For the first time, RESISTANCE Miami will bring the fully immersive Ibiza clubbing experience to America at M2, a newly-minted nightclub in the heart of the Art Deco District.

“This is the first time RESISTANCE hosts a club residency outside of Ibiza, and we’ve chosen our hometown and the iconic M2 venue as its location,” Ultra Co-Founder, Chairman & CEO Russell Faibisch says. “The RESISTANCE Ibiza club residency at Privilege is legendary on the island, and now we’re bringing the magic of that immersive underground clubbing experience home, to showcase in Miami."
