As Future Entertainment's tour director Brett Robinson comments:
"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 artists to do as much as possible whilst in this region. We are excited to be announcing what we hope will be embraced as one of Asia's biggest music festivals in coming years."
