Controversies
SoundFest started at 1PM when the temperature reached almost 40 degree Celsius and lasted for 9 hours, some attenders were exhausted and tired from waiting under such a heat. Pushing and jostling was another problem, especially when BigBang began their performance. Several fans fainted while many fans standing in the front row were pushed to the barriers, some were injured.. The organizer eventually had to pause the band's performance to warn the audience to stop pushing, or else the show would be cancelled. After BigBang's performance, many of the audience left despite the fact that there were still other acts to come. Reviews
Soundfest is the financial and critical success, calling the festival 'the new generation of music in 2012!' Future
