The Future Music Festival Asia (FMFA) was my second music concert of the year, and it was much more impressive than the first one<\/a>! Future Music Festival is originally a festival taking place in Australia’s five largest cities (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide) a few days apart, usually in early March with the same line-up. Since 2012, the festival was exported to Asia in Kuala Lumpur on the Sepang International Circuit with a different list of artists.\u00a0Some of the headliners for the 2013 Asian show were namely The Prodigy, Fun., Rita Ora, PSY …<\/p>\n

How did it go?<\/h2>\n

Well, a bit of a hassle when we tried to find a place to park with the incredible number of cars (the festival was located an hour drive from Kuala Lumpur and there wasn\u2019t much public transport to go there). We had to go pretty far into the deep end of the parking area and walk a good 15 minutes to reach the entrance of the Future Music Festival Asia.<\/p>\n

\"Balloons<\/a>

Once at the entrance,\u00a0we bought some beers – twice cheaper than in the festival, to cool down a little bit, then we passed three checks (age, bags and tickets) before finally getting into the festival. First impression: it\u2019s Huge! Three big stages,\u00a0a brightly and colorfully lit Ferris wheel and an interesting number of food stalls and entertainment area: cigarettes,\u00a0F1 Grand Prix promotion booths for the upcoming race on the 22 – 24 March 2013 (with video games), Red Bull, illuminated balloons floating in the sky (I did not really understand the purpose of it) … In short, a lot of things to occupy thousands of people for a long night.<\/p>\n

\"Fun.<\/a>

And for the show itself?\u00a0Crazy, wild and hyped-up night, loud beats and music along with well-known artists which got\u00a0 the spectators jumping, dancing and moving all night! Honestly, I did not really know all the artists, just what was on air on the radio but it was really great! I was surprised by the large number of non-Asian people that was present at the concerts, mainly Australian and a lot of people coming from Singapore according to the reception given to a Singaporean flag holder.<\/p>\n

Future Music Festival Asia was also the last city of PSY\u2019s world tour for his “Gangnam Style” and he chose to immortalize it by singing his song twice: once for everyone to take photos and videos (We are in Asia after all!) and one second time for everyone to dance!<\/p>\n
