Souljah to Pee Wee Gaskin Set to Liven Up Jakarta's 499th Anniversary

During the colonial era, for instance, Jakarta had become a trading city that brought together merchants from various countries. It is no surprise that the hustle and bustle of that period made Jakarta more advanced than other regions. In the present era, the area led by Pramono Anung and Rano Karno continues to transform into a modern, safe, and comfortable city for all its residents. In fact, to celebrate the 499th Anniversary (HUT), the DKI Jakarta Government will hold the Launch of the 499th Jakarta City Anniversary with the theme ‘Towards 5 Centuries’. This special moment will be filled with a lineup of traditional to modern artists. They will perform their best works at the Launch of the 499th Jakarta City Anniversary event. One of the guest stars who will attend the event is Pee Wee Gaskins. This pop punk band will perform their hit songs. They will even invite the audience to reminisce with pop punk songs from the 2000s era. The excitement of the Launch of the 499th Jakarta City Anniversary does not stop there. Souljah will also liven up the event. They will invite visitors to sing and have fun at the event. Besides those two bands, there are other stars who will fill the event, namely Pasmimg Based, Mollucan Soul, Big Lion, Gondal Gandul, Orkes Gambir Merdeka, Kindergarten, Skarbu, Orkes Trotoar, Defodio, and Ardhito Pramono. The Launch of the 499th Jakarta City Anniversary will also present a strong traditional Betawi atmosphere. This is because the event will be attended by Mandra, Munaroh, Tonah, and Sanggar Bunga Cempedak. To avoid getting more curious about the excitement of the event, you can directly visit the Launch of the 499th Jakarta City Anniversary, which will be held at the H.R.
