Music festivals in Indonesia are starting to bounce back. The creative economic ecosystem in the country is also growing and has a positive impact to the musicians and the audiences. Another music festival in the archipelago comes with the full spirit, which is not only entertaining, but also puts local heroes on the national stage so they can go global. Along with national musicians such as Slank, Mahalini, Rizky Febian, Noah, and 34 performers in total, there are well-known soloist and bands who started their careers in Bali and successfully spread their wings to the national and even go-international. Even though they have succeeded in the music industry, they have not forgotten where they came from. They still insert Balinese elements in their works and performances.
“Bali can be a second home for us, and many of Slank’s works are inspired from here. Of course we strongly support the movement to promote local Balinese musicians, especially the younger and emerging generations, to be able to perform on a wider scale. The more flight hours and the opportunity to perform at big music events like this one at Prost Fest, hopefully their talents will be honed and their names will shine even more, and eventually being able to compete in the national and international music scene,” said Bimbim, the founder and drummer for Slank.
By carrying out the concept of a music festival on the Beach, Prost Fest 2022 will present live music events that will provide a fresh and memorable experience for festival goers in Indonesia and travelers wherever they are. A series of famous musicians and ‘local heroes’ have certainly been prepared to perform on August 13-14, 2022 at Mertasari Beach, Sanur, Bali.
“As a festival that is being held for the first time, Prost Fest 2022 wants to be a place to for Indonesian musicians to show their talents and works. Both on a national scale and emerging new artists in the Indonesian music industry, “said Muhamad Aldian, Program Director of Prost Fest.
There will be 34 performers in total! They will perform at the Prost Stage and Singaraja Stage. For the Singaraja Stage, 70% of it will be a place for local pride artists and bands to explore from Bali. This is the one of the missions of Prost Fest 2022 which is to introduce local Balinese talents to a wider audiences.
“For festival goers, Prost Fest 2022 must be a must-visit agenda. Because we have prepared a quality entertainment package. Not only music, but also a positive creative economy ecosystem,” said Harianus Zebua as Head of Corporate and Marketing Communication of OT Group.
The ticket are sold out and will be donated to the development of the creative and tourism industries on the island of Bali.
“Prost Fest is expected to be an offering and contribution of enthusiasm for Bali, which is the window to the world of Indonesia, so that it can fully rise again,” concluded Rudolf Dethu, as an observer of Balinese music.
