SINGfest is one of the major music festivals held in Singapore,[1] which features international acts from diverse genres. The largest live contemporary music event in Southeast Asia,[citation needed] it is usually held in early August for two consecutive days and is currently in its third year running after taking a break in 2009 due to alleged financial troubles. The festival is organized by Midas Promotions and All The Worlds.
History
The first SingFest held in 2007 attracted around 8,500 people.[2] The second SingFest doubled its attendance with 17,000 people.[2]
In 2009, SingFest was postponed despite Midas Promotions promised in 2008 to hold a third festival in 2009.[2] The 2009 festival was postponed partly due to co-organiser, All The Worlds, concentrating on the debut of another music festival, F1 Rocks, which is launched in a similar period.[3]
In 2010, SingFest was expanded to three nights and was held from the 3 to 5 August.[4] Acts include Thirty Seconds to Mars, Kanye West, Katy Perry, The Smashing Pumpkins, Orianthi and Wonder Girls.
