This is why Christopher Comstock, known as DJ Mashmello, was upset when a DJ dressed as KFC founder, Colonel Sanders, played a set on the main stage at Miami Marine Stadium area on Virginia Key. 

"This KFC colonel sanders Djing at Ultra is lame," he wrote on Twitter. "I can think of a lot of other artists that actually deserve to be on that stage instead."

Electronic music fans who witnessed it said the KFC set was about 5 minutes long.
