David Guetta, Sia, and Afrojack made a surprise appearance together at Ultra Music Festival in Miami over the weekend, where they performed their 2011 track ‘Titanium’ for the first time live.

The trio joined forces on stage on the festival’s opening night (Friday, March 28) during a solo headline set from Afrojack. David Guetta appeared on stage first, before a spotlight beamed on Sia as the opening chords of ‘Titanium’ played out.

The surprise collaboration marked the first time that the trio have performed the classic track live together, some 14 years on from its release in December 2011. In the years since, ‘Titanium’ has been streamed more than four billion times worldwide.
