ndonesian pop-rock band Padi is set to donate 2.5 percent of its concert ticket sales in Jakarta and Surabaya to Jakarta-based humanitarian charity Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT).

The news was announced by Rama Moektio, CEO of Kayana Delapan, one of the concert organizers. “[…] The donation will go to ACT’s three programs, Kapal Kemanusiaan Palestina [Palestine Humanity Ship], Peduli Musisi [Care for Musicians] and school building development,” Rama said in a press release.

Following the band's reunion concert in Jakarta on Thursday, Padi, currently known as Padi Reborn, is set to return to their hometown in Surabaya for “Padi Reborn Welcome Home Concert,” which will be held on Saturday at Grand City Surabaya at 8 p.m. Prior to the performance, the band, which consists of Piyu, Fadly, Ari, Rindra and Yoyo, made time to meet Surabaya Mayor Tri Rismaharini.

During their career, Padi has released five studio albums, including Lain Dunia (Different World), Sesuatu yang Tertunda (Something Postponed), Save My Soul, Padi and Tak Hanya Diam (Not Only Silent).

Tickets are available online with a starting price of Rp 350,000 (US$26). (kes)
