Sheila On 7 to rock Malaysia at Latihan Pestapora 2025 this July
It has been a long time coming, but the wait is finally over. Sheila on 7 is coming!
WHEN memories are set to music, some bands become the soundtrack of an entire generation. For countless Malaysian fans, Sheila On 7 is exactly that, a timeless echo of youth, love and life’s biggest moments.
The Indonesian beloved rock band is making a powerful return to Malaysia. The band will headline Latihan Pestapora Malaysia, now upgraded to the grand Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil, on July 26, 2025.
It has been a long time coming, but the wait is finally over.
The announcement, part of the festival’s Phase 2 lineup reveal, has sent waves of excitement across the region, bringing with it not just Sheila On 7 but also ethereal singer-songwriter Nadin Amizah and ALVN.
Hitman Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Founder Rohit Rampal, emphasised that Sheila On 7 is not just a band, they are a shared memory and a generational anthem.
“Their return to Malaysia is more than a performance, it is a cultural moment. With Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil as the new venue, we are ready to etch this event into the history of live music festivals in Malaysia,” Rohit said.
The move to Bukit Jalil, Malaysia’s largest stadium, is a bold step that not only elevates the scale but also honours the emotional gravity of the event. After a thunderous reception to the Phase 1 lineup earlier in May, the decision to expand comes as no surprise.
Fans were already snapping up tickets even before the full list of performers was released, signaling just how deep the appetite is for a festival that bridges nations and generations.
Pestapora Festival Director and Boss Creator Co-Founder, Kiki Ucup, echoes the sentiment.
“Pestapora is a celebration of music and community. Bringing that spirit to Malaysia is a natural next step for us. With Sheila On 7, Nadin Amizah and ALVN added in the lineup, we hope to further unite the two nations in one vibrant, love-filled, music-powered experience,” Kiki said.
Organised by Hitman Solutions and Boss Creator, the same teams behind the original Pestapora festival in Jakarta, this Malaysian edition is more than just a musical showcase, it is a full-blown celebration of Nusantara culture, spirit and sound.
And the lineup does not stop there.
The already-packed Phase 1 roster includes fan-favourites such as.Feast, Hindia, Pamungkas, Feel Koplo, Malaysia’s very own Bittersweet, Bunkface, Dolla and many more. It is a cross-border sonic adventure designed to thrill both the nostalgic hearts and fresh ears of today’s listeners.
As anticipation mounts, fans can prepare to secure their spots with Phase 2 tickets going on sale starting June 9, 2025, 12pm (GMT+8) at www.latihanpestaporamalaysia.com.
