Guess what?: Bon Jovi in town, poses with '€˜ondel-ondel'€™

@bonjovi

American pop-rock band Bon Jovi has arrived in town and is ready to rock the stage at the Bung Karno Stadium in Senayan, South Jakarta on Friday.

Bon Jovi announced its arrival on Thursday via its official Twitter account.

"We have arrived in Jakarta! See you Friday!" Bon Jovi said in the tweet.

The band also uploaded a photo of its vocalist Jon Bon Jovi and keyboardist David Bryan alongside an ondel-ondel (a giant Betawi effigy).

In the photo, Jovi wears a big smile while Bryan seems to be very tired after a long trip.

Some 40,000 spectators are expected to come to the concert, the band'€™s first in
20 years.

The Jakarta Police will deploy 3,300 personnel to secure the vicinity during the concert, which will start at 8 p.m.
