FMFA, Back to the Future!

Aside from a record breaking series of major sold out Australian Festivals, in March 2012 the Future Music Festival crew and sponsors set its sights on Asia, taking along all the endless fun and hype, futuristic and modern music that we all have come to know and love, and brought it all here where we can have the first hand experience ourselves. Its first ever in asia. Cool beans!

What is Future Music Festival you say? 


First established in 2006, the mighty Future Music Festival has become engrained in the hearts of music and culture loving youth Australia wide and is deemed an essential on the annual festival circuit. The Multi Award Winning Future Music Festival is renowned not only for delivering the biggest acts in the universe, but also the brightest stars of tomorrow

 
Where? no other place big enough and best to accommodate such event other than Malaysia's very own F1 circuit. Its not just the most suitable place to hold an outdoor event, with stretches of roads and acres of rubber trees surrounding it, it is slightly secluded from the main city, perfect no?
(kudos fmfa management team!)



 Due to its spaciousness, and the number of Dj's set to play, the arena was divided into 4 stages and was pimped futuristic-ly to suit their title:
The Future Stage, the main and big ass stage,
The Flamingo, where most of the bands performed,
 The Las Venus Stage, a mixed genre stage placed in front of a Ferris wheel,
And the Escape stage, where the local Dj's played.

The event's structure as shown below:

 Out of 30+ artists who were performing that day, below mentioned are a few,
my favourite amongst the rest:

The Chemical Brothers

 Cosmic Gate


And Mr. Tinie Tempah himself



From 2pm until 3am the morning after, The Future Music Festival Asia became one of the biggest ever rave party held in Malaysia, as an outsider to Malaysia, i felt so lucky to be able to attend, what an experience i'd say. Different and familiar faces came together with one intention in mind, to enjoy and appreciate good music, most definitely a night to remember. From different awesome blossom like the possum stages, there was even a bungee jumping section, and all for free! Well worth the 68RM i paid.  Reminder to future attendees though, make sure to arrive according to the schedules time stated in the ticket. Learn from my mistake. The one before was the bomb, i came but late, i missed half of the performances and didnt get to enjoy the full experience and performances. Bummer, i know, but best believe the next one i'll definitely be in the first 50 in line, who knows, it might be a nuke! im just saying. How do you top an already top experience in your life?
= top it off with another top experience, (lol)
but in this particular case,
Future Music Festival Asia! you wouldnt wanna miss it!

Hope you all could make it at the next one ; )

Last but not least, a picture worth a thousand words:
"The mood lifter, a place to have fun and not care about the world, a place to get lost in the music, where stranger turn into friends, where we dont need to pretend. Future Music Festival Asia baby!" -kcJ
