With American rock band Bon Jovi slated to rock Indonesia on Sept. 11 at Bung Karno main stadium in Senayan, South Jakarta, the promoter has provided some details of the concert.
"All of the sound systems, the stage, are sourced from Indonesia," said Java Festival Production president director Dewi Gontha in South Jakarta on Thursday.
Live Nation Indonesia, the organizer, she said, expected 40,000 people of all ages to attend.
However, with thousands of people expected to show up, Dewi said that people should not be concerned about the safety of women and kids.
"Our primary target is 25 to 45 year-old concertgoers. I think people of that age should be calmer," she said.
Bon Jovi is slated to sing hit singles such as "Livin' On a Prayer", "You Give Love a Bad Name" and "It's My Life" at the concert.
Tickets will be sold from June 29 on the concert official website. However, the organizer refused to disclose ticket prices on Thursday.
Dewi also mentioned some of the band's unique riders.
"They want a large amount of coffee. [...] I would like to introduce Indonesian coffee to them," she said.
Another thing they requested, she added, was a throat doctor.
The concert will be their second in Indonesia, having played at Ancol, North Jakarta, in 1995. (fsu/dmr)(+++)
