Fiersa Besari, a musician, writer, and well-known poet in Indonesia, opened the concert of Sheila On 7 titled Wait for Me in Bandung on Saturday (28/9). This concert took place at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium, Bandung, and was the culmination of Sheila On 7's five-city tour, as well as their final performance on this tour.

In a video posted on his personal Instagram on Sunday (29/9), Fiersa shared that he is a loyal fan of this Yogyakarta-based band. "I am a huge fan of Sheila On 7," he expressed.

He also reminisced about a precious moment in 1999 when he bought Sheila On 7's first album. That memory shows how long he has been following the musical journey of the band he loves so much.

1. A Shocking Offer from Sheila On 7

The singer of the song Garis Terdepan revealed that the opportunity to perform as the opening act for the concert came up unexpectedly, just six days before the event, which surprised Fiersa greatly. However, Fiersa was still willing to accept the offer. Yet, he faced a dilemma as he already had a performance scheduled in Yogyakarta on the same day.

Fiersa explained that his management has strict rules about not performing in two different locations on the same day, as it is considered very unprofessional. Nevertheless, he realized that this opportunity was very valuable, especially since he plans to take a break from the stage next year.

After a long discussion with the organizers in Yogyakarta, Fiersa finally decided to perform at both venues in one day with careful planning. His performance as the opening act in Bandung was successful at 4:15 PM WIB, and after that, he and his team immediately headed to Yogyakarta.

2. Struggle to Arrive in Yogyakarta

"We used the jutsu of Namikaze Minato, Hiraishi no Jutsu," joked Fiersa about the quick journey. He arrived in Yogyakarta at 10:04 PM WIB and immediately continued his performance. Fiersa also expressed his gratitude to the committee and other bands that helped him with technical preparations, such as For Revenge and Juicy Lucy.

Although his performance went successfully, Fiersa admitted that the experience was very stressful. "Will I repeat an experience like this? It seems once is enough, because I can't stand the nervousness," he said.

This extraordinary experience became a valuable lesson for Fiersa, who realized how important the support from his peers in the music industry is. He is determined to continue creating despite the challenges he faces.

3. Plan to Take a Break from the Music Stage

Previously, Fiersa announced that he would take a break from the music world starting January 1, 2025. This decision was conveyed through a video on his YouTube channel. The musician, who was born in Bandung, expressed that he feels physically exhausted due to a packed performance schedule.

At the age of 40, Fiersa wants to spend more time with his family, especially with his child, Kinasih Menyusuri Bumi, who will soon be entering school age.

Fiersa realizes how precious moments with family are and is committed to giving his full attention to his child during this transition period. This decision is expected to give him the opportunity to get closer to his family while planning his future in the music world.
