featured performer

In Indonesia, "pengisi acara" is actually a sideshow to a program; as indicated in John Gare's answer. Yet, he/she/they can be the main attraction for people to come. E.g., in a political campaign, it is not unusual to present popular singers. They are sweeteners to the event which main agenda is a political speech or manifesto. Yet, it is not rare that people come for the singers, not the speech.

The reference quoted is of one of my fave rock star, the Cougar. :)

Example sentence:

John Mellencamp will be the featured performer Friday evening, Oct 3 at this year’s annual YouthAIDS benefit held in Washington..

dengan asumsi yg dimaksud adlah orang orang yg mengisi acara.
Klo memang bgt, sharusny pk who instead of what.
Klo eventny cm bln november ini doang, sbaikny jgn pk s dblakang happen (read= happens). Unless, it happens every november.

Thus the question should be = Who will be performing in the event in samarinda this november?

Tapi, klo yg dimaksud adalah acaranya sndri. Better use performance.

Jdny=
What (performance) will be performed in the event in samarinda this november?

Cheerz,

Supporting artist(s)

'Pengisi' is literally 'filler'. Performers who fill out an entertainment program are often called supporting artists. They appear and perform to warm up the audience for the main attraction or star performer(s).
