The late tickets confirmations and lack of communication from Ultra Singapore set a stage for a cacophony online rumour for the organisers. Bad news from Ultra Singapore 2019: Martin Garrix will no longer be playing!
The rumour first began on Ultra Singaporeโs Facebook and Instagram pages the past week ago. The EDM festival was slated to happen June 8-9 just outside Marina Bay Sands, however no construction work was seen despite the emerging schedule. Festival set up usually takes a month to set up.

Due to the lack of updates from Ultra officials part, the rumours turned into serious concerns for many as online outrage made some believe that worse has happened, signaling ticket buyers to lash out on social media. Despite this, tickets were still being sold via AirAsiaRedTix.

The festival is expected to be held at indoors venue of the Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre instead of having it at its usual outdoor space. People finally began getting their tickets late on Jun 3. For some this means time to party on.

With the way things have taken place, itโs mostly a relief that the worst-case scenario hasnโt happened for Ultra Singapore. But it just isnโt the same for most festival goers.
