The group will start their global journey with a 13-day residency in Dublin before heading to the United Kingdom and Europe. This journey marks their biggest tour in that region in 20 years.
The dream for this massive stadium show actually started a few years ago. Ahmad Satrio, the Head of Marketing and Communication at Sound Rhythm, shared an interesting story during a recent press conference. He explained that the band members fell in love with the Main Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) Stadium during their 2023 performance at the smaller Madya Stadium. While testing their sound equipment, the musicians saw the giant neighboring arena and immediately expressed their desire to perform there.
As a result, the promoters started discussions right away to make this dream happen. Now, the band targets an audience of over 50.000 people for this grand concert. Furthermore, the promoters are actively working to bring back member Mark Feehily to complete the lineup for the fans. They are currently finalizing the details to ensure a perfect reunion on the Jakarta stage.
