Jakarta with Exclusive Concert for Their 36th Anniversary Celebration”>KLa Project Holds a Concert entitled Aeternitas”/>
The legendary BAND that has spanned almost 4 decades of KLa Project music, will celebrate its 36th anniversary on a magnificent music stage. The concert entitled Aeternitas will be held by KLa Corporation at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, on October 25 2024.
Kla Corporation collaborates with Kestone CLE Indonesia, featuring Katon Bagaskara (vocals), LiLo (guitar) and Adi Adrian (piano) to invite KLanese (as KLa Project fans are known) to travel through time through nostalgia with the sweet hits of this band from Jakarta.
Carrying the theme “Resonance of Regeneration: Eternal Music, Bridge Between Generations”, the music stage will combine not only memories but also hope.
Aeternitas is a timeless symphony, a musical bridge that connects generations, providing performances that will be remembered forever.

“We always present something special for fans, especially since this is the 36th anniversary, KLa’s birthday,” said Katon on the sidelines of a press conference at Il Sogno Ristorante, South Jakarta, 9 September 2024.
Edy Khemod, Creative Director emphasized that he would present a stage that combines musical melodies and neat visuals. “Just a surprise for fans.”
The number 36 is special for Katon and his friends. Logically, 3+6 = 9. This is the highest number which is interpreted as the peak. The highest peak is where the KLa Project reigns until now.
Konser Aeternitas wants to present the KLa Project’s voyage across generations with works that are always relevant. Generations far below the band members but also loyal fans.
The audience that will fill Istora Senayan is not only dominated by mature buying power groups whose youth were entertained by the songs of this band which was founded at the end of 1988, in Tebet, Jakarta. But, also among Gen Z, who like quality music with cool melodies and poetic lyrics typical of KLa Project.
Interestingly, at every previous concert, KLa Project was always able to communicate intimately with the audience. This is also one of the characteristics of the KLa Project music stage.
Fans are not only invited to sing along with legendary hits. But KLa Project personnel usually have fun telling stories in between the songs they play. As a real entertainer, KLa Project is always anticipated by its fans, KLanese.
Look forward to the upcoming concert entitled Aeternitas on 25 October 2024 at Istora Senayan which will be a memorable ‘birthday gift’ for fans who are always loyal.
“Stay faithful, forever and ever…” is a fragment of the lyrics of the song Regarding Us which became the first number to catapult the name of KLa Project. (RO/Z-1)
