JAKARTA - Two Javanese pop singers, namely Woro Widowati and Evan Loss, admitted that they are ready to spread the virus of songs with the Javanese pop genre, to the Indonesian music lovers, through the Java Pop Festival.

The Java Pop Festival, which is planned to take place at the Bung Karno Intermediate Stadium (GBK) Jakarta, 8-9 July, is predicted to be a contemporary music festival that has become part of a youth lifestyle, as well as welcoming the public's enthusiasm for Javanese pop music.

"I am very grateful for being included in this festival and being able to entertain the citizens of Jakarta. It is extraordinary for the first time that I will sing at GBK. Pride for me personally. I will prepare the best performances for the friends who come later. God willing, "Woro Widowati said as quoted by Antara, Monday.

The name Woro Widowati skyrocketed through several cover songs that went viral in 2019. He later became the only Javanese pop artist whose face was plastered on New York's Billboard Times Square as one of the stars in Spotify's EQUAL campaign series.

Meanwhile, another Javanese pop singer, Evan Loss, admitted that she could not express her joy with the series of words because she had the opportunity to be involved in the upcoming event.

"I am very happy, because in my opinion the majority of Javanese singers are in rural areas. The economic background is also arguably middle to lower. If we look at GBK so far, the average is only from television. But, later I can finally play on GBK, that's very extraordinary, "he said smiling broadly.

The name Evan Loss is quite often heard for some time, especially after he released the song 'Full Smile Sayang' in 2022. Although it is a young musician, Evan's work is enough to get a place among Indonesian music lovers. He has even been nominated for the AMI Awards for the Best Regional Language Song Production Work' in 2022.

In addition to Woro Widowati and Evan Loss, the plan is that the Java Pop Festival will present a number of line-ups including Dara Ayu, Guyon Waton, Happy Asmara, Jogja Hip Hop Foundation, Pulung Agustanto, Nabila Maharani, Ndarboy Genk, and NDX AKA.

Carrying the jargon "Indonesia Needs Joget", Java Pop Festival pre-sale tickets can be accessed through the www.tiketpasaja.com page at a price of IDR 150,000 for 1 day and IDR 250,000 for 2 days.
