Asia’s largest music festival, Future Music Festival Asia finally announced next year’s venue after being quiet for so long due to unfortunate cancellation earlier on this year. The festival will be taking place in Singapore from March 14-15 2015. The festival is expected to bring in a crowd of 50,000 fans from all around the region.
“We have had three amazing years in Malaysia, with the country having given us loads of unforgettable good memories and has been crucial in contributing to the festival’s rapid growth. But the decision to make Singapore our new home, we feel, is a progressive next step for the brand. Like our name suggests, Future Music Festival Asia belongs to music fans across Asia. As a regional financial and aviation hub, Singapore helps us to do just that, as it epitomizes the Asia in Future Music Festival. It is after all seen as one of the main gateways into the region. After months of working with the relevant stakeholders in Singapore, we’re confident that by moving FMFA across the causeway, we will be able to significantly provide not only a safe and fun environment for our guests but the festival will also still be within easy reach for our Malaysian fans whom throughout the years, we have grown very affectionate to”, Iqbal Ameer, Group Chief Executive Officer of The Livescape Group said.
“Singapore also has fantastic world-class infrastructure in place and support systems that work hand-in-hand with live events organisers in ensuring a successful event. We’re especially excited about our new venue, which we are keeping a secret for now. What I can say is that we fell in love with the place from the moment we saw it for its sheer size and amazing infrastructures, and we are very sure the fans will too. If you look at some of the biggest festivals in the world, Glastonbury, Coachella, Tomorrowland, the venue plays an important role in setting the festival’s vibe. They all have a sense of escapism to it, which is what the fans want – the opportunity to be cut off from their day-to-day stress and worries and hang out with like-minded, fun-loving people over two or three days. So for us, we know it’s critical to have the right venue and we believe we’ve found it”, Iqbal added.

- Single Day

The organisers are expecting to announce more details of the festival including its phase one line- up, venue, and ticket prices on December 1. Limited Early Bird discounted tickets will be available for purchase from November 22 onwards here.
