For a while it didn't seem as though Ultra Music Festival would close 2018 on a harmonious note. Mired in trademark litigation, the Miami staple and internationally adored electronic music festival was booted from its longtime home of Bayfront Park during a contentious Sept. 27 Miami City Commission meeting.

But with the help of land-use attorney Miguel De Grandy, the festival's future is not only looking brighter, but more scenic as well.

On Thursday, De Grandy secured four out of five votes from Miami city commissioners approving Ultra Music Festival's bid to host the event at Virginia Key on March 29-31, 2019. Under the new agreement, organizers of the centerpiece of Miami Music Week will pay the city $2 million for the use of Miami Marine Stadium and Historic Virginia Key Beach Park to accommodate its infamously lavish stages.
