JAKARTA - The seventh edition of The Sound's Project has announced a fourth phase lineup with dozens of performers to fill the event held at Gambir Expo, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta on August 9-11.

Through the official Instagram account, the performers have announced every day, where 25 performers will be present per day.

However, the line-up displayed so far is still minimal special shows or special performances. It can be said that only The Changcuters will appear with the concept of celebrating 20 years anniversary.

Meanwhile, some collaborations are not really new shows, such as the X Bara Suara Greenhouse Effect, Killing Me Reunion x Vierratale, Sore x Bilal Indrajaya, and Winky Wiryawan x Whisnu Santika.

As a music festival featuring only Indonesian musicians, The Sounds Project does not seem to pay special attention to special shows. This is inversely proportional to Synchronize Festival and Partypora, two music festivals that also carry national musicians as lineups.

So far, Synchronize Festival has announced many special shows, including Brang Breng Brong: Benjamin Makes Troubles, Potlot Jam, 60 Years Elvy Sukaesih Work, and Nail Killer Koplo.

Meanwhile, Pestora will feature dozens of lineups that will bring works from its first album, including Superman Is Dead, D'Masiv, Nidji, The Up Shields, to Pee Wee Gaskins.

Given that this year is the seventh edition, it would be much better if The Sounds Project thought not only 'who will appear' but 'what is shown'.
