JAKARTA - The two headliners of JogjaROCKarta International Rock Music Festival # 4 finally landed in Yogyakarta. Scorpions and Whitesnake arrived at Yogyakarta Adisutjipto Airport on Friday, 28 February 2020 at 10.00 WIB. They flew from Singapore using Silkair aircraft.
Scorpions is a music group from Hanover, Germany that was formed 54 years ago. Today, the band is fronted by Rudolf Schenker (guitar), Klaus Meine (vocals), Matthias Jabs (guitar), Paweł Mąciwoda (bass) and Mikkey Dee (drums).
During his musical career, Scorpions has spawned 18 full albums, including, Blackout (1982), Love At First Sting (1984), Lovedrive (1979), and Crazy World (1990). Meanwhile, Whitesnake was formed in Middlesbrough, England, in 1977. They have released approximately 13 full albums to date.
The band consisting of David Coverdale (vocals), Bernie Marsden (guitar), Micky Moody (guitar), Neil Murray (bass) and David "Duck" Dowle (drums) with Brian Johnston (keyboards) has also released an album entitled The Purple Album ( 2015) which contains Deep Purple songs performed by David Coverdale.
Anas Syahrul Alimi, founder of JogjaROCKarta Festival, together with Bambang Pediantoro S, President Commissioner of Rajawali Indonesia, welcomed the arrival of Klaus Meine et al and David Coverdale et al.
"This is an honor for all of us, Whitesnake and Scorpions have landed in Yogyakarta, especially when Whitesnake is coming to Indonesia for the first time," said Anas in a written statement received by VOI.
The arrival of the two legendary rock bands in complete formation at the same time answered the doubts of fans in Indonesia. As is well known, some time ago, Klaus Meine, the vocalist of Scorpions, had performed kidney stone surgery at a Melbourne hospital.
The medical action was carried out while he was in a series of world tour concerts. As a result, a number of concerts that had been planned in several countries had to be rescheduled.
Indonesia, in this case JogjaROCKarta International Rock Music Festival # 4, is lucky. Their concert schedule at the Kridosono Stadium on Sunday, March 1, 2020 has not changed at all.
"Klaus Meine is also very healthy and he is ready to perform at JogjaROCKarta on March 1 tomorrow," continued Anas.
For Klaus and the guitarist, Rudolf Schenker, coming to Indonesia is not the first time they have been invited to the East Meets West Festival in Bali in 1990.
Together with Titiek Puspa and James F Sundah, Klaus and Rudolf created a song together called When You Came Into My Life. The song was included in one of the Scorpions albums.
Meanwhile, JogjaROCKarta International Rock Music Festival # 4 will be Whitesnake's first concert in Indonesia. Although, actually the vocalist David Coverdale had greeted fans in Indonesia in 1975. At that time he was still the vocalist of Deep Purple and came with his band.
Scorpions and Whitesnake promise looks that aren't just nostalgic. They will present a spectacular concert by playing the best compositions, including songs from the era of the 1970s. The fans will certainly sing along to the concert by this rock band from the European continent.
Apart from Scorpions and Whitesnake, JogjaROCKarta International Music Rock Festival # 4 will also be filled with a number of Indonesian rock bands, including, God Bless, Death Vomit, Powerslaves, Navicula, and the Rocket Aviation Group. Not only that, The Hu, a rock band from Mongolia will also appear at this prestigious rock music event.

Rajawali Indonesia as the promoter of the JogjaROCKarta Festival has consistently held this event by bringing big names in the rock music industry, not only locally, but also in the world.
