Iconic singer-songwriter, producer, performer and DJ Ultra Naté invites fans around the world to step into the ULTRAVERSE as she announces a huge new run of live and DJ tour dates across 2024.
Revered as one of dance music’s original Grand Dames, Ultra has also carved out a fierce reputation for herself in the DJ booth. Now equally in demand for her heady blend of electro beats, soulful vocals and gospel tinged house as she is for her powerhouse vocal, it’s no surprise that her 2024 ULTRAVERSE tour takes in as many DJ shows as it does live performances.
“I named this tour “The UltraVerse“ because my performing life is so diverse and multilayered,” Ultra explains. “At any given moment, I am navigating a myriad of variables from one show to the next.
Coming off a huge run of success in 2023 that saw her host the #1 Paris Hilton-exec produced podcast The History of the World’s Greatest Nightclubs and dominate international radio airwaves with UNBREAKABLE, Ultra has shown absolutely no let up as 2024 continues to unfold, if anything simply upping the ante. The KIMMIC rework of Ultra’s cult classic ‘Party Girl’ dropped on Armada Music and went to #1 in Music Week, bringing it to the attention of a new generation of fans, while indie-pop darling Bright Light Bright Light enlisted Ultra’s help on latest single ‘Every Emotion’ lifted from his #1 album, Enjoy Youth. Ultra’s latest single from her ULTRA project, the Russell Small and DNO P collaboration ‘HAPPY FEELING’, premiered to worldwide radio on BBC Radio 2 with long-time Ultra superfan Rylan, with remixes from Cevin Fisher and Les Bisous already charting heavily on influential dance sites Beatport and Traxsource.
“It is a lot of maneuvering and heavy lifting, but it’s also exciting and tremendously rewarding to have such a significant lineup of dates and appearances everywhere! The continuing story for me, is – to celebrate my ability to still be present, dynamic, growing in my art and touching lives.
“As long as I have been a part of dance culture universally, I still feel in many ways I am an emerging artist, because there are new people learning about my music every day. There are new partnerships and collaborations to dive into.”
Stepping from stage to booth or vice versa, is all part of my creative expression. At this point I navigate both disciplines pretty seamlessly and feel really blessed to be able to thrive in a space where my sole purpose is to create.”
For fans the chance to see Ultra Naté live in action is always one not to be missed. Now whether you catch her on stage raising the roof with her trademark vocals, on air monthly for RADIO FG or in the DJ booth setting the dance floor on fire, thanks to the ULTRAVERSE, 2024 just got much more Ultra.

ABOUT ULTRA NATÉ:
Named one of Billboard Magazine’s Greatest Dance Artists Of All Time, and with a career spanning three decades and spawning massive crowd stompers such as Twisted, Automatic, Party Girl, New Kind Of Medicine, Found A Cure, How Long (Ultra Flava), If You Could Read My Mind, and the seminal, evergreen anthem Free, US singer, songwriter, DJ and producer Ultra Naté continues to be an integral force within the life blood of global House Music.
One of the first house music artists to sign a major label deal when she inked paper with Warner Music UK, Ultra Naté’s sound has continually embraced a variety of genres including House, Soul, Disco, Electro-Pop, R&B, HipHop and Rock. Her catalogue is one steeped in timeless classics, impressive accolades and creative highlights with everyone from The Basement Boys, Nellee Hooper, D-Influence, Mood II Swing, Nona Hendryx, Lenny Kravitz and Frankie Knuckles, to N’Dea Davenport, NERVO, Todd Terry, Michelle Williams (Destiny’s Child), 4 Hero, Deee-lite, Masters At Work, Roger Sanchez and more.
Ultra’s #1 single ‘Free’ shows no sign of letting up 25 years after its original release. Ultra, a widely noted ally of the international LBGTQIA+ community was honoured that Free was universally named one of the Top Pride anthems of all time during 2019’s unprecedented global World Pride celebrations. In 2020 Tomorrowland’s influential One World Radio included the track in the Top 10 of its ‘Best Ibiza Anthems of All Time’. In 2021, Ultra was invited by dance maestro Pete Tong to close out his Ibiza Classics tour with Jules Buckley and the Heritage Orchestra, performing Free in front of sold out crowds. June 2022 saw Swedish Pop duo Icona Pop collaborate with Ultra for a revised version of Free, titled You’re Free and aptly released on Ultra Records. In July 2022, Ultra gave a historic performance of Free at a sold out Wembley Stadium for the Women’s Euro 2022 final, alongside Becky Hill and Stefflon Don. In October 2022, at the invitation of Tong, Ultra returned to the UK to record a sensational orchestral version of Free (Do What U Want) with LP Giobbi and Jules Buckley that incorporates a refrain of Rozalla’s classic, Everybody’s Free, exclusively for Amazon Music on Ministry of Sound. Ultra capped off 2022 with the release of her 10th studio album ULTRA, collaborating with the likes of Osunlade, Quentin Harris, Henrik Schwarz, Slowz, Mood II Swing’s Lem Springsteen, and GRAMMY winners Blue Lab Beats and Tracy Young.
2023 saw no let up for Ultra. Executive Producer Paris Hilton enlisted her to host the critically acclaimed #1 podcast The History Of The World’s Greatest Nightclubs, while seminal cut If You Could Read My Mind celebrated its 25th anniversary with an exclusive package release. A year after ULTRA, Ultra dropped ULTRA DELUXE, with additional tracks DANGEROUS (So Dare Me) – the Top 5 indie disco smash with Les Bisous, YOU’RE FREE with Icona Pop, and new songs WORLD ON FIRE and UNBREAKABLE. The latter anthem was seized upon by global radio, dominating the planet’s most influential airwaves including SiriusXM’s Utopia channel, FUN Radio, Radio FG, Studio Piú, GAYDIO, Hits Radio, and across the entirety of the BBC Radio 2 daytime schedule including plays by Rylan, Claudia Winkleman, Sara Cox, DJ Spoony, Zoe Ball, Jeremy Vine, Owain Wyn Evans, Jeremy Vine, Scott Mills, and Vernon Kay.
As 2024 continues, so does Ultra’s legacy. Titular single ‘Party Girl (Gonna Do)’ from the cult classic 90s Parker Posey film of the same name was re-imagined by Scottish rave upstarts KIMMIC and released worldwide on Armada Music, while synth-pop star Bright Light Bright Light brought Ultra on for his ‘Every Emotion’ confection. French national broadcaster Radio FG added Ultra to their regular DJ roster of dance music superstars with a monthly residency. International tour dates have seen Ultra perform the length and breadth of the planet: Live at Ibiza Orchestra at Dublin’s 3 Arena, LA’s WeHo Pride, Live with Paris Hilton, Saweetie and Kim Petras at the Fonda Theater LA, Milkshake Festival Amsterdam, GLITTERBOX North America, Botoxe in Athens, House of Yes in Brooklyn, White Party in Palm Springs, 90’s Baby Festivals across the UK, the esteemed Lincoln and down under during Sydney’s world-renowned Mardis Gras. Now with HAPPY FEELING finally unleashed, and a solid remix package forthcoming, the world is yet again dancing to Ultra Naté’s anthemic beat.
