Realizing Long-held Dreams, The Changcuters Hold a Solo Concert After 20 Years of Career

Kapanlagi.com - The Changcuters will hold a major concert to celebrate 20 years of their music career. The event titled '20 Years of Resilient The Changcuters Concert' is scheduled to take place at the Ecovention Concert Hall, Ancol, North Jakarta on December 7, 2024. Tria, the vocalist of The Changcuters, revealed that this concert has actually been long awaited by them.

"Actually, this concert has been something we've dreamed of since the beginning of this year, it feels like we've been planning a concert for 20 years," said Tria when met at DJavu Bar Lounge, Tuesday (5/11/2024).

"Yes, we have done a solo concert before, but it was more intimate. And for a concert with grand tickets and everything, this is the first time," Tria added.

1. The First Large Scale Concert

In their career journey, The Changcuters once held a solo concert but in a more intimate and simple atmosphere. This concert marks the first time for them to present a performance on a large scale with more luxurious tickets and facilities.

Qibil, the guitarist of The Changcuters, also shared the story of how this band was formed, which turns out to be quite simple.

"If the question was whether we ever thought about it, we never did, because we formed the band just to fill our spare time. We wanted to fill our youth activities by forming a band, and from there it just evolved," said Qibil.

2. An Old Dream That Has Come True

He also revealed that the dream of holding a big concert has actually been longed for since the band reached its ten-year mark, although it had not been realized at that time. Now, after 20 years have passed, The Changcuters feel that this is the right moment to make that dream come true. According to Qibil, the journey since 2004 had never imagined a concert this big, but now they feel it is time.

"We have really longed for this concert since the 10th year. At that time, it still wasn’t realized, and now after 20 years, maybe it’s finally time. Since 2004, we never really thought about doing a concert like this," said Qibil.

3. Never Changed Personnel

Interestingly, the personnel formation of The Changcuters has never changed since 2005. Tria explained that at the beginning, the band only consisted of three people: Tria, Dipa, and Qibil, who were friends from the same campus.

"In 2005, we finally appointed Erick and Alda as members of The Changcuters. Since then, we have never changed personnel. At that time, Erick hadn't joined yet, so we had a backup drummer," said Tria.

4. Categories and Ticket Prices

For this concert, The Changcuters provides four categories of tickets at varying prices. For fans who want to enjoy the concert standing in the area closest to the stage, Festival A tickets are offered at a price of Rp 400,000.
