The story

Ultra Mexico 2026 is a two-day electronic dance music festival held on November 7-8, 2026, in Mexico City at Estadio Banorte. The festival features top talent from the EDM scene and is part of the larger Ultra Music Festival series. This installment marks a continuation of the festival's presence in Mexico, showcasing a vibrant atmosphere for electronic music fans.

Ultra Mexico is a 3-day electronic, dance festival at Foro Sol in Mexico City, Mexico. The October 2026 edition runs 20–22 Oct 2026.

Announced so far: Armin van Buuren, Subtronics, Alesso, Boys Noize, Sara Landry, Eric Prydz, Klangkuenstler and Hardwell and 8 more. Expect stages split between Electronic and Dance. The line-up is spread across the 3 festival days, so a full-weekend ticket is the only way to catch every name.

Everything happens at Foro Sol, in Mexico City. Mexico City is the base for the trip: it is where the affordable beds, the late trains and the after-parties are, and where prices climb fastest as the dates approach.

Ultra Mexico keeps the same calendar slot each year: October 2026 for this edition, opening on a Tuesday and closing on a Thursday. It falls in autumn, after the summer circuit closes, when flights and rooms come back down in price. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Mexico City are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

• Held at Estadio Banorte
• 18+ age restriction
• Two-day festival
• Part of the Ultra Music Festival series
• Years running: 2017, 2018, 2019

What the trip costs from Paris

Door to door from Paris, a trip to Ultra Mexico works out at roughly €1,802 per person on the cheapest combination we track — a higher-budget weekend, mostly because of the travel leg.

The ticket is only 6% of that: the rest is getting there and sleeping somewhere, which is exactly the part most ticket sites leave out.

Cheapest travel we price is air · 16h 16m each way, at €1,117 return.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Ultra Mexico are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 4 nights rather than 3: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4Follow Ultra Mexico on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.

Travel tips from Paris

• The site itself is Foro Sol, in Mexico City.
• Book a bed in Mexico City early — rooms around a festival sell out before the last ticket tier does.
