Nassar Drops 30 Kilograms for First Solo Concert

Pedangdut Nassar has successfully shed 30 kilograms ahead of his debut solo concert, King Nassar: Lost in the Jungle, scheduled for November 7, 2026, at Istora Senayan. As reported by hot.detik.com, the 38-year-old singer prepared his physique months in advance to ensure he could sustain a three-hour performance.

Nassar credits his weight loss to a consistent exercise regimen rather than a restrictive diet. He focused on cardio treatments, weight lifting, and treadmill sessions. "I don’t have any diet limitations. I eat everything, just not in excess," Nassar stated. He emphasized that the weight loss was a result of maintaining consistency throughout his training program.

Nassar Plans Thirty Costume Changes for Orchestral Concert

Beyond his physical preparation, Nassar is coordinating an elaborate stage show. According to Grid.ID, the singer has prepared 30 different looks to accompany his 30-song setlist. Nassar noted that while the goal is to present a unique costume for every track, the final execution will depend on the situational flow of the performance. The costumes are a collaborative effort between designers Ivan Gunawan and Olive and Hers.

The production also features orchestral support. Liputan6.com reports that maestro Erwin Gutawa will lead his orchestra for the event. This marks the first time Gutawa has conducted a full concert centered on dangdut music for a duration of two and a half to three hours.
