Was there ever any doubt?
By a vote of 4-1, the Miami City Commission voted on Thursday to allow the Ultra Music Fest to be held on Virginia Key. Their event will take place in March 2019.
Commissioner Ken Russell was the one descending vote.
It's about money, greed and lack of environmental awareness when it comes to the City of Miami.

Just opened up the flood-gates for other events like Urban Weekend.
Good for Ken Russell! I don’t always agree with him, but Ultra coming to Virginia Key is not a good thing. They need to put it out in the Everglades, away from those of us who are trying to lead our normal, everyday lives.
Dissenting. And I'm glad he did that, for once.
Virginia Key is not Key Biscayne, not even close. NO ONE in KB is going to hear anything. bunch of rich assholes getting pissed that their second home, which is on an island, is tough to get to...that area of virginia key used to be a submarine base in WWII and after a Magnum boat racing arena, environmentally that place is f*cked...oh and the lovely water treatment plant and Seaquarium which is world renowned for having the smallest Orca pool in the US - oh no the horror of a EDM concert!!
3 Days of an event that is pretty monumental,In one of the most exclusive areas of Miami ,and where the environment is beautiful and sensitive.The fact that there is one and only one way accessible to the key and out. Putting the residents of the key in a serious mode,and the areas that approach the causeway. And then there is the issue of the environment once all the chaos begins. The fact tat now the event will be somewhat accessible by mutitudes of boats that will be there for the free music. Hard to imagine that no other venue would not be properly conducive. Such as Tropical park Bird Rd. 275 acres,just an example.
