Future Music Festival was an annual music festival featuring Australian and international artists held in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth in Australia and as of 2012 also Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. The festival was usually held in late February - early March and has been headlined by notable acts including The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, New Order, The Stone Roses and most recently Drake.
Several weeks after the 2015 edition of the festival, Mushroom Group announced their decision to scrap any future editions of the festival due to low ticket sales.
History
The festival began in 2006 as a one-day independent festival at Sydney's Royal Randwick Racecourse. In 2007 it evolved into a massive travelling festival like the Big Day Out and Soundwave which visited Brisbane, Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. In December 2011, Future Entertainment announced that the Future Music Festival would expand out to Asia for the 2012 festival with a show held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia which was headlined by The Chemical Brothers. The Asian leg of the festival has a similarity to the one in Australia with a mixture of local and international acts.
In 2014, Future Music Festival Asia in Kuala Lumpur was unexpectedly cancelled on the third day after a festivalgoer died. These were believed to be related to drug overdoses. Malaysian authorities abruptly closed the event. A year later, post-mortem results showed that six deaths at the festival had been due to heat stroke.
