JAKARTA - The Magic Competition officially announced it will appear as the Asian Pop Festival line-up, a music event held at Paradise City, Incheon, South Korea on June 21 and 22.

The Asian Pop Festival is an annual music festival that has a unique line-up curation consisting of South Korean musicians and abroad from various genre streams.

The Magic Contest consisting of Baskara Putra (vocals), Natasha Udu (vocals), Rayhan Noor (guitar), Tristan Julio (keyboards), and Enrico Octaviano (drums) will share the stage with local lineups such as Silica Gel, Yogee New Waves, to Lee Seung Yoon and the band from Japan, Lamp.

"We were connected to the Asian Pop Festival by Sun Eater through a fairly extensive communication process since last year. Finally, the collaboration took place in 2025," Baskara said in a written statement to VOI, Friday, June 13.

The personnel must increase the intensity of training and maintain physical and mental so that they remain excellent for their performance in Ginseng Country.

"There are quite a lot of songs in our discography that we find interesting for foreign audiences but rarely performed here because of the lack of opportunities," Baskara continued. It feels like the Asian Pop Festival is the right moment to perform these songs.

Their participation in the Asian Pop Festival marks the fourth as well as the furthest destination during their overseas gigs.

They are very impatient to absorb energy from this festival by getting to know new listeners, establishing relationships with music industry players, and enjoying Korea. "We want to see the performance of Silica Gel and Lamp," added the Magic Competition.

As one of the international performers, the band under the auspices of Sun Eater wants to get to know new listeners, establish relationships with music industry players, and enjoy South Korea.

"We want to see the performances from Silica Gel and Lamp," said Baskara.

They also expressed a desire to learn a lot about the production and detail of appearances from other Asian musicians.

Furthermore, the Magic Competition hopes to reap new knowledge and then be applied in their set, so that it can give a better and more attractive performance at the national level and the Asian stage in the future.
