Miami is the location of one of the largest electronic music festivals in the Southeast. The Ultra Music Festival will be held in March next year. In the past the Ultra has been slated for the same week as the Winter Music Conference an educational event for DJs. The Ultra is the world’s most famous outdoor music festival specializing in electronic music. The festival features up to 16 stages with over 250 acts. The festival which started in 1999 is frequented by fans of dance music with stages to cater to any electronica fan’s desire. An estimated 70,000 electronic music fans will descend upon Miami in late March 2011.
Electronic music became a force in the late 80’s and became a cultural phenomenon in the 90’s. The rave culture has been long associated with a variety of mind altering substances including alcohol, ecstasy and marijuana, to name a few. Although not all electronica music fans use drugs or alcohol, the prevailing theme of the culture is intoxicated states of mind. The music fans, along with tourism dollars, will bring drugs. Attending a music festival is exciting for the fans. Many will over indulge in the intoxicating substances associated with the electronic musical genre. With so many intoxicated music fans inundating Miami’s streets someone is bound to drive a vehicle.
An individual on any mind altering substance can be charged with a DUI. So whether you get a DUI at home of out of town you will need to hire a DUI lawyer. Allowing a lapse of reason to ruin your experience at a music festival would be a more grievous error if you don’t hire a DUI lawyer. Don’t let one mistake tarnish the fun memories of The Ultra, get a DUI lawyer to diminish the repercussions.
