SINGfest returns in Aug, acts include Smashing Pumpkins, Wonder Girls

SINGAPORE: Alternative legends Smashing Pumpkins will be among the bands and artistes performing at this year's SINGfest.

The three-day outdoor music festival is making a return in August after being absent last year.

The line up also includes American singer Katy Perry, rapper Kanye West, Australian singer-guitarist Orianthi, South Korean sensation Wonder Girls, soul and blues singer Diane Birch, rock trio 30 Seconds to Mars, Canadian metal band Hail the Villain and English musician Ian Brown.

More acts are expected to be announced over the next few days.

The last sold-out festival in 2008 attracted 20,000 fans over two days according to organisers.

They say they have extended the number of days due to popular demand.

SINGfest will be held from August 3 to 5 at Fort Canning Park.
