SO7 last performed in Malaysia back in 2013, and 2016 is looking like a "Musim Yang Baik (Good Season)" for them, and also all their fans.
If Noh Salleh does not charm you with his songs, he will disarm you with his dazzling smile.
Opening for the SO7 will be recent Anugerah Juara Lagu (AJL) 30 nominee Noh Salleh, who is the lead vocalist of leading indie band Hujan. He will be supported by experienced and established musicians from Restoe Iboe, who are made up of Bajai (keyboards), Deo Karmawan (guitar), Roni Hasbi (bass), Hafiz Monk (trumpet) and Azim "Jenk" Ali (drums). Expect a lot of "Angin Kencang" on the 15th floor of KWC Fashion Mall from Noh Salleh and his immaculate band mates, during his thirty minute plus performance, with hit songs from his own solo album and also from Hujan. The colourful singer who is a fan of SO7 since their debut, expressed that he was always hoping to perform on the same stage as the band and is proud that he was given the opportunity to do so at their momentous concert here.
