Previously, Bongky and Pay Burman performed together with Slank at the Jogjarockarta music festival. Bongky explained that this collaboration was done as a warm-up for the reunion of Slank Formation 13, which will feature a full concert.

"Actually, it's for warming up because there are plans for a full concert reunion of F13. The previous event (Jogjarockarta) had guests from outside the metal genre, and we participated to insert ourselves," he said.

Interestingly, news about this reunion plan has actually been around for a long time, but hasn't reached the right agreement.

"Actually, it's been a while, but we haven't deal-deal yet," said Bongky.

2. Unable to Confirm the Time Yet

Nevertheless, Bongky cannot confirm the exact time and place for the reunion concert of Slank Formation 13. However, it is highly likely that this concert will be held in Jakarta this year.

"Well, let's see how it develops, this is the first concert's breakthrough. After that, it's the last season for us," he said.

Bongky also mentioned that it is highly likely that this reunion concert will be held in December to celebrate Slank's 40th anniversary. "That's the most suitable moment (during Slank's anniversary). But let's see the conditions," concluded Bongky.
