Although the hot weather in Jakarta presents its own challenges, Ronan's spirit to entertain does not wane. In between his performances, he often complained about the heat, but still maintained a pleasant interaction with the audience.

"Hello Jakarta, it's great to see you again. Thank you for the warm welcome," he said.

Ronan Keating's performance this time was memorable not only for the songs he performed but also for the presence of keyboardist Richard Taylor and the backing band from Indonesia, showcasing Ronan's appreciation for local musical talent.

2. Performing When You Say Nothing At All

"I have played with them 22 times. Whenever I come to Indonesia, come to Asia, they are always my band. They are local, amazing musicians. It is an honor to share the stage with you," Ronan expressed.

One of the most anticipated moments by the audience was when Ronan Keating performed the legendary ballad When You Say Nothing At All. This song is very popular among the 90s generation, especially for those who have seen the romantic drama film Notting Hill (1999).

As a perfect closing to the night full of nostalgia, Ronan Keating performed another Boyzone song, "Picture of You." This performance became the climax that left a deep impression on all who attended, making that night at The 90's Festival unforgettable.
