By Lauren:
It's that time of year again... Miami Music Week. Host to the Winter Music Conference and Ultra Music Festival. For 10 days, Miami plays host to the biggest DJs and producers in the world while they dominate pool parties, music conferences, UMF, after parties and more. This year, Ultra brings more the the table than ever before with a MASSIVE lineup spread across the first and last weekend of MMW.
If you choose to attend Ultra over the hundreds of public and private pool parties that coincide with the festival, you'll likely find yourself looking for more to do after the music stops at midnight and Bayfront closes for the night. That's why we've compiled a list of the best after parties for Ultra for each day after the festival.
Catch the list for weekend 1 with links to tickets after the jump:
Weekend 1:
Friday, March 15: Steve Angello
When and Where: LIV Nightclub (21+), 11:00 pm - 5:00 am
Why: Steve Angello is a crowd favorite that never fails to put on a great show. LIV is one of Miami's most well known, epic nightclubs that you don't want to miss if you're only there for a short time. Together, they will create a massive after party that will surely live up to the production standards of Ultra itself.
LIV is known to be a bit strict on dress code rules, however, so you might want to change out of flip flops before you show up.

Saturday, March 16: Thomas Gold with special guests Sick Individuals and Deniz Koyu
When and Where: Wall at the W Hotel (21+), 10:00 pm - 5:00 am
Why: Thomas Gold has come through Boston many times, but if you haven't seen him yet, he's an act not to be missed. What makes this party even better is that Gold is joined by Sick Individuals, a big up and coming duo in the EDM scene, and Deniz Koyu, the man behind the hugely supported song "Bong". Also, unlike many other Miami nightclubs, the Wall lounge in the W Hotel doesn't have different ticket prices for men and women, nor a strict dress code.

When and Where: Club Mekka (18+), 9:00 pm - 8:00 am
Why: Club Mekka is pretty much the only 18+ place around in Miami that under-21 festival goers will want to go. It also is the only 24 hour nightclub with a 24 hour liquor license, if you're feeling crazy at 10 am. This massive party has tons and tons of artists spanning from every genre of EDM, so there will be something for everyone if your group as you celebrate St. Patrick's Day with this mini indoor festival.
