In the next upload, the singer of the 'Gala Bunga Matahari' explained the reasons behind his disappointment. He felt that the organizer had taken the wrong step when announcing himself as a line-up.
"Including the name of a talent as part of the line-up can only be done after the entire booking and confirmation process is officially completed," said Sal.
If in the promotion process the organizers need to announce the line-up early, permission from the talent must still be obtained first. It is understandable if there is a form of content that is a survey of audience interest, but the way of communication, especially through captions and links, must be maintained so as not to cause misconseption, especially if it is accompanied by a ticket purchase link," he added.
For him, what the organizers of the East Pala Fest 2025 have the potential to harm many parties.
"Things like this have the potential to mislead the public and harm many parties," he said. "It's dangerous that time, friends. We take care of each other."
Meanwhile, information on the Pala Timur Fest 2025 Instagram account said the event would be held at Ngaralamo Square, Ternate on December 27 and 28.
Apart from Sal, Lyodra has also been announced as the lineup of performers.
In addition, presale ticket sales have been announced, with Festival categories worth IDR 140,000 and VIP worth IDR 200,000.
