GOOD things come to those who wait. That was probably what thousands of dance music fans must have felt at the Future Music Festival Asia 2013 presents A State of Trance 600: The Expedition World Tour last Friday. During the rush hour to get to the party (7.30pm onwards), it was literally a parking lot all the way to the outdoor event’s venue at Sepang International Circuit. Imagine being stuck for two hours or more in a 5km line of vehicles.
Cars after cars, that’s all we saw. It was a sea of red lights from the crawling traffic and that was probably the state of trance experience rather than the show. The pre-event experience did not just end with bad traffic but a long walk to the venue. Add crossing numerous drains, walking through the oil palm plantation in the dark (with a handphone flash light!) and carefully sliding down the slopes.
