The concert began with the powerful song Radio that instantly lifted the spirits of the audience. Sheila On 7 then performed various other hit songs such as Kita, Pemuja Rahasia, Dan, and also Sahabat Sejati. The song Bait Pertama, which often misses from the setlist of the Yogyakarta-based band, made an appearance and successfully sparked euphoria among their dedicated fans. This memorable night was sweetly closed with the song Wait for Me in Jakarta, which made the atmosphere even more poignant and emotional, beautifully complemented by a fireworks display.

Continuing the surprises in Samarinda, former Sheila On 7 guitarist Sakti was also brought to the city of Makassar. Sakti's guitar strumming on the song Accompany Me and several songs from Sheila On 7's first and second albums brought a nostalgic vibe from the 2000s. The hearts of anyone witnessing it were swept away in calming emotions. We have all been accompanied by Sheila On 7 in their time. Maybe until today.

Andri Verraning Ayu, CEO of Antara Suara, expressed appreciation to Sheilagank in Makassar and hopes that other cities will also be enthusiastic. "The presence of Sheilagank in Makassar is truly extraordinary. Their enthusiasm and spirit really enliven the atmosphere. Besides from the city of Makassar, earlier Mr. Duta also took attendance from the stage, it turns out there are many Sheilagank from outside the city, even from outside the city and from other islands. We hope this enthusiasm continues in the next cities," said Ayu.
