Future Music Asia won’t be held in Malaysia next year
Future Music Festival organisers will announce a different Asian city for next year’s event.
Held in Kuala Lumpur since its inception three years ago, Future Music Asia has finished its contract with the city and has chosen a new home for the 2015 run, which it will announce next month.
“Future Music Asia has always been a brand that we wanted to move around Asia,” Festival Director Brett Robinson told TMN. “We’ve had a three-year deal in KL and we are now building towards an announcement next month in a different Asian city; but we’ve got great Government support from that city and we’ve got a lot of strong support from that city.”

Robinson told TMN there has been huge demand from Southeast Asia and Asia itself for Future Music Festival; its organisers may choose to move the festival around Asia every year.
“We want to keep travelling,” Robinson told TMN. “We want to make sure that Future Music Asia truly becomes Future Music Asia and not Future Music Malaysia […] We want to try and be able to be dynamic and jump around a little bit.”
