Before performing "Pulang Malu Tak Pulang Rindu", he revealed the song was written during his years of struggle far from home. “This song is a reminder of my journey. It’s about chasing dreams despite being far from the people you love,” he said.

Rizal then offered a powerful message to aspiring dreamers. “If you have a dream, go after it with all your heart.

Two keys: work hard and ask for your parents’ blessing. If your parents aren’t around, ask your teacher or elder. If no one’s there, pray with all your heart.”

He added with a smirk, “Dreams happen when you sleep. If you’re dreaming while awake, that’s daydreaming—and that won’t get you anywhere!”

Armada Band’s performance wasn’t just a concert—it was a full-blown celebration of resilience, connection, and homegrown pride. It reminded everyone why the group remains one of Indonesia’s most beloved musical forces nearly two decades in.

Throughout the night, Rizal praised Biznet for enabling Gen Z’s digital lifestyle.

“Biznet is spot on—fast, reliable internet is what our generation needs. And I know Gen Z isn’t lazy—they’re creative and full of action. I hope Biznet keeps supporting their dreams,” he emphasized.

As the final chords rang out and the crowd swayed under the Palembang sky, one thing was clear: Armada Band isn’t just surviving—they’re still soaring.

And with messages of hope, happiness, and hard work, their legacy is far from over.
