SINGAPORE – Music festival Stereofest, billed as the first and largest Malay pop music festival in Singapore, has been postponed after the authorities moved the Disease Outbreak Response System Condition (Dorscon) to orange due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The festival, which would have featured 15 acts from Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, was originally scheduled to take place at Palawan Green, Sentosa, on Feb 22 and 23.
A spokesman for the organising team said in a press statement that while the team had been looking forward to StereoFest, they have "taken this measure to ensure the health and safety of all involved in the event, from volunteers, performers, supporting partners and festival goers".
"While the situation is still developing in Singapore, we do not want to risk any potential infections that might take place at the event."
The new dates are not confirmed, but will be between July and September 2020.
The festival line-up includes popular regional artists such as Malaysian acts Ayda Jebat, New Boyz and 4U2C, Indonesian acts Judika and Noah, and Brunei singer Jaz as well as Singapore singers Sufie Rashid, Syed Azmir, Hyrul Anuar and Fauzie Laily.
Those who have bought tickets can send an e-mail to [email protected] by Feb 29 and request a refund or choose to hold on to existing tickets and use them later.
The spokesman adds: "We thank everyone for their support and we hope that you will continue supporting StereoFest even as the dates change. We humbly seek everyone's understanding in this matter, and apologise for any inconvenience caused."
