Voice of Baceprot: Indonesia’s female metalheads get set for Glastonbury

The trio will be the first Indonesian band to play the renowned music festival, which gets under way this week.
Medan, Indonesia – The Indonesian female metal band Voice of Baceprot are worried about their upcoming performance at Glastonbury in the west of England, but not because they’ll be playing in front of thousands in one of the world’s biggest music festivals.
Instead, they’re thinking about the weather and what they might eat.
The trio, made up of 24-year-old vocalist and guitarist Firda “Marsya” Kurnia, 24-year-old drummer Euis “Siti” Aisyah and 23-year-old bassist Widi Rahmawati, have never been to the United Kingdom before, and have been watching YouTube videos of the festival to prepare themselves.
“We have heard that it rains a lot in England and, even when it is not raining, it is always drizzling,” Siti says, looking pained.
They are also, she says with a grimace, “concerned about the food”.
