andung-based music group Project Pop is slated to hold a showcase on May 20 in Jakarta as part of celebrations of the band's 20th anniversary, which falls on June 17.

The band, which currently consists of Tika, Yosie, Gugum, Odie, Udjo and Oon, plans to perform up to 26 songs from its nine albums. 

Yosie told a press conference that the task would not be an easy one since the show was slated only to last for two hours.

“We really have to do something so people who miss our songs will still be able to enjoy the show,” he said on Monday. “Some of the songs will be put into a medley, while others will be accompanied by choreography.”

Tika said that the lyrics of the band's songs would be screened during the concert at the Soehanna Hall at The Energy Building in Central Jakarta to enable audiences to sing along and, as usual, the band members would also perform parodies. 

“We’re also planning to perform a new song,” she added.

Since the band wants to create an intimate atmosphere with its fans, also known as Popop, the venue will only accommodate around 500 people. The ticket prices start at Rp 350,000 (US$26.28) with Platinum and Gold seats available for purchase.

“During the showcase, the fans will be able to talk to us or request a song; but we will still follow our setlist," said Udjo.

Project Pop began its journey in the country's pop music industry with 1996's Lumpia Vs Bakpia album. Its latest album, Move On Lagi, was released just last year. Other than humorous and relatable lyrics, the band continues to entertain music lovers by adjusting its songs to current trends.
