Jakarta Ye concert generated up to Rp600 billion, minister says
The event drew 70,000 attendees, including 25,000 from overseas, while hotels near the venue approached full occupancy.
Indonesia’s Tourism Minister Widiyanti Putri Wardhana said the Ye Live Concert Tour in Jakarta on 24 October generated economic turnover of up to Rp600 billion. She cited figures from concert promoter Raw Vision Collective and the Jakarta branch of the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI).
The estimate covered tickets, food spending, merchandise and trade by micro, small and medium enterprises. Occupancy at hotels near the venue reached almost 100 per cent as domestic and international visitors sought accommodation. Around 5,000 people worked on technical production, backstage activities and other event support.
Attendance records put the crowd at 70,000, with 25,000 spectators travelling from 80 countries. Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and China were among the leading overseas markets.
The Tourism Ministry helped preparations through recommendation letters covering concert permits, visa and immigration procedures, and customs clearance for production equipment brought from abroad. Wardhana said the ministry had backed more than 25 international events during 2026 and would continue supporting efforts to attract international concert organisers to Indonesia.
