Deep Purple, Yngwie Malmsteen, Marty Friedman and more are ready to rock Singapore Rockfest 2024. A heat wave has meant that several bands have been moved from Fort Canning to The Star Theater and The Capitol Theater.

The Singapore Rockfest 2024 event from LAMC Productions, which was planned for all bands to be held again at Fort Canning Park, had to be moved to an indoor venue due to the hot weather currently hitting Singapore.

Deep Purple returns to Singapore after eleven years.

Apart from McBride, Deep Purple still consists of Ian Gillan on vocals, Ian Paice on drums, Roger Glover on bass, and Don Airey on keyboards.

All Time Low currently consists of Alex Gaskarth on vocals and rhythm guitar, Jack Bakarat on lead guitar, Rian Dawson on drums and Zack Merrick on bass. 

All Time Low also toured several Asian countries and is still in its 20th anniversary series.
