Pestapora, in collaboration with Authenticity Soundroom, returns to curate performers for the Riang Gembira Stage as part of the Pemanasan Pestapora (Pestapora Warm-Up) series. Back in 2022, Authenticity Soundroom held performer selections across various Latihan Pestapora events throughout Indonesia.

This year, for the first time, top 15 band submissions were invited to Jakarta to do a close audition in front of the judging panel, consisting of Jimi Multhazam (The Morfem), Chia (Reality Club), and Kiki Aulia Ucup (Pestapora Festival Director). Then, the top 7 winner will have to perform in front of hundreds of audience from across Indonesia, flown by Authenticity to Jakarta for this event.

The chosen bands will earn the opportunity to perform at Pestapora Jakarta 2025, joining one of the biggest music celebrations in Indonesia.

This collaboration reflects Pestapora’s ongoing commitment to supporting emerging talent and strengthening Indonesia’s independent music scene.
