Curing Longing After Nearly 7 Years, Sheila On 7 Finally 'Matches' with Banjarbaru at Buzz Youth Fest 2026!

Kapanlagi.com - Good news for all Sheila Gank in South Kalimantan! The long wait of almost seven years will soon come to an end. The legendary band from Yogyakarta, Sheila On 7, is confirmed to return to shake the stage in Banjarbaru at a grand event that has been eagerly awaited.

This historic moment will take place at the 4th edition of Buzz Youth Fest, which will be held on January 24, 2026. Located at the iconic Amanah Borneo Park, the presence of Duta, Eross, and Adam is sure to be the biggest relief for their loyal fans in Borneo.

For Sheila On 7, this opportunity is not just an ordinary gig. Bassist Adam Subarkah, during a press conference held at Pondok Pinang, South Jakarta on Monday (11/8/2025), referred to this meeting as a destiny that has finally come true.

1. Not Just a Show

"We just started meeting S07 listeners outside of Java since last year. Coincidentally, one of them matched with the Buzz Youth Fest in Banjarbaru. SO7 hasn't been there again, so that's where the match is," said Adam.

More than that, Adam emphasized that their main intention of returning to Banjarbaru is to greet and interact directly with the listeners who have long missed their performance. It's about connection, not just a show.

"I'm really happy to be able to come back there. The main intention is to meet SO7 listeners," he added enthusiastically.

The Buzz Youth Fest itself is not just any music festival. Gerfian Riandra, as the Founder of Hectic Creative, explained that the selection of Banjarbaru as the host has gone through an in-depth research process to provide the best experience.

"For each Buzz Youth Fest, we research five cities. We visit, we see who they want and what they are looking for. Banjarbaru becomes a creative challenge because there are several festivals that, if present there, will be even cooler," Gerfian revealed.

3. A Row of Musicians

Not only Sheila On 7, the Buzz Youth Fest 2026 will also be enlivened by a lineup of other top musicians. Names like The Adams, Fiersa Besari, The Changcuters, and Vierratale are ready to deliver their best performances, making this festival one of the must-watch events at the beginning of 2026.
