And the Asian invasion continues…
Following the marriage between chillwave and chill crab at this year’s inaugural Singapore Laneway leg, Future Music Festival have today announced plans to expand into Asia by March 2012.
Details are scant at the moment but here’s what Future Entertainment Tours Director Brett Robinson had to say: “Our vision for Future Music Festival was for it to become something that is respected and celebrated globally. Our commitment to presenting the biggest and boldest artists and best possible event experience seems to have been recognized with demand for the festival to venture abroad. With Asia on our doorstep and the wealth of talent we now tour from one side of the globe to the other it makes perfect sense for the artist to do an much as possible whilst in this region. We have had interest for several years now in launching Future Music Festival in Asia but wanted to wait for the right opportunity to present itself, which we have now found. We are excited to be announcing what we hope will be embraced as one of Asia’s biggest music festivals in coming years and very much look forward to revealing all the details very soon.”
Future was founded in 2006 and has since hosted some of the biggest dance acts in the world: The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, Dizzee Rascal, N*E*R*D, MGMT, Fatboy Slim, Underworld, Basement Jaxx and Franz Ferdinand. This year’s lineup includes New Order, The Rapture, James Murphy and Aphex Twin.
