Future Music Festival Asia 2015 (FMFA15) cancelled
Fans who are expecting to have a fun-filled weekend at the Future Music Festival Asia 2015 (FMFA15), will be disappointed as the organiser, Livescape Asia had to dash their plans due to the several rejections by the Singapore authorities.
Livescape Asia have been sending in applications for the public entertainment licence to the authorities since January this year, which was turned down twice. The organisers submitted a final appeal last week to the Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs which also rejected.
On Sunday, 8 March 2015, the organisers were left with no choice, but to cancel FMFA15 as all avenues for appeal has been exhausted. FMFA15 was scheduled to take place at Changi Exhibition Centre in Singapore from the 13th to 14th March.
It is believed that the authorities may have about the drug-related incidents that took place in FMFA14, which was held in Malaysia last year and the event was abruptly cancelled.
In the official media statement, the organiser said that automated full ticket refunds will now be made to all FMFA ticket purchasers starting from Tuesday, 10th March 2015. They have also set up a care team to help answer the ticket holders concerns directly. Read the full statement here:
