The Ultimate Music Experience in Texas is shaping up to be one spectacular event in 2015 with David Guetta, Hardwell and Tiësto all billed as headliners for the three-day festival. UME will take place March 19 through 21 with a pre-party on March 18. The event is presented by Global Groove Events.

"2015 will indeed be the biggest and best UME weekend to date since its inception five years ago," Global Groove head Paul Magee told Billboard. "We have three of the biggest heavy-hitters in the world headlining which includes Guetta, Hardwell and Tiësto. Due to an already high ticket demand, we've added an impressive pre-party, also at the Schlitterbahn Beach Waterpark."

Guetta will open the event on Thursday with Hardwell following Friday and Tiësto closing it down on Saturday. Calvin Harris, Bassnectar and Zedd have all played the event in the past.

Co-promoter, Disco Donnie Presents, will be celebrating its 20th anniversary with the event.

"Last year's UME attracted over 45,000 people and we expect the event to grow to over 50,000 for 2015," the company added. "UME is the largest spring break electronic dance music event in America and this year's line-up packs the biggest punch yet. Production will be bigger than ever, and we're also incorporating new areas, including the live-stream lounge and zen den."

Guetta released his sixth studio album, Listen, last month. Tiësto's fifth effort, A Town Called Paradise, came out in June. Hardwell's debut, Untitled We Are, is slated for a Jan. 23 release.
