Becoming a Nostalgic Event, God Bless Returns to Perform at TIM After 50 Years

Kapanlagi.com - The band God Bless will be performing at Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM) on December 26, 2023. The band, consisting of Ahmad Albar (vocals), Ian Antono (guitar), Donny Fattah (bass), Abadi Soesman (keyboard), and Fajar Satritama (drums), will be performing at the Everyday Festival 2023 concert, which will take place from December 21-27, 2023.

This will be the first time God Bless performs at Taman Ismail Marzuki after 50 years. As known, TIM was the first place where God Bless performed after its formation in 1973.

"Currently, God Bless is 50 years old and Taman Ismail Marzuki is 55 years old. We consider this as a very deep nostalgia. Hopefully, our works for the past 50 years can be accepted," he added.

In addition to presenting music performances, God Bless will also showcase their seventh album vinyl, Cermin 7, which was released in 2016. SAJILIVE CEO, Tirtatinaya Aji, mentioned that this album will be a historical part of God Bless' music journey.
