The ever-popular band from Indonesia, Sheila On 7, also performed a 45-minute set, belting out a number of hit songs much to the delight of fans, some whom turned out as early as 1pm.
“We are very excited to be back here in Malaysia for this concert and to be able to welcome the new year with our fans and BlackBerry. Their support throughout the years has been fantastic and we hope we gave them a performance they deserved”, said Akhdiyat Duta Modjo, frontman for the band. And if you haven’t heard, we also snagged an interview with the band mere hours before their epic gig.
