Attracting over 50,000 attendees, UME is the largest spring break electronic dance music event in the US. The 2015 edition is taking place on South Padre Island, Texas on March 19th-21st with celebrated artists and DJs, such as David Guetta, Tiesto, Showtek, Robin Schulz, Destructo, Hardwell, W&W, Dannic, Thomas Newson, DVBBS, Oliver Heldens, and Moti.

Open Garden enables live communications between fans and artists thanks to the free FireChat app. EDM enthusiasts can chat with one another and interact with renowned music headliners before, during and after the festival, in a dedicated "UME" chatroom. FireChat's award-winning technology allows you to communicate without any Internet or Wi-Fi connection, by allowing mobile phones to create their own peer-to-peer network.

"We're thrilled to partner with Donnie Disco Presents for UME 2015," said Micha Benoliel, cofounder and CEO of Open Garden. "It is amazing when the fans and DJs connect on FireChat."

FireChat is a free application for Android and iOS devices.
