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.

[2] In 2009, SingFest was postponed despite Midas Promotions promised in 2008 to hold a third festival in 2009.
