Why wasn’t the Bruno Mars concert held at GBK? This is the Promoter’s explanation

JAKARTA – The Bruno Mars concert in Jakarta will last for two days on 13-14 September 2024. Instead of the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (GBK), Senayan, Jakarta, the concert entitled Bruno Mars Live in Jakarta is planned to be held at the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS), North Jakarta.

Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of PK Entertainment Harry Sudarma revealed the reason why Bruno Mars’ concert was not held at GBK. The promoter explained that the venue at the GBK Main Stadium was not available so his party decided to use JIS as a concert venue for the singer of Just The Way You Are.

“Incidentally, GBK is not available either. “But we have the biggest football stadium in Indonesia which has been a partner and we held Ed Sheeran’s concert yesterday,” said Harry at the Bruno Mars Live in Jakarta Concert Press Conference, Friday (21/6/2024).

Even though it was held at JIS, Harry revealed that the venue was very capable for international class concerts, including Bruno Mars. He also reminded the success of Ed Sheeran’s epic concert at JIS in March 2024.

Harry said that the audience did not need to worry about the venue for Bruno Mars’ concert in Jakarta later.

“We collaborated very intensely to ensure that JIS would become a venue that was actually very comfortable regarding access and also the viewing experience,” explained Harry.

Regarding access, Harry explained that JIS had made many improvements and learned from the experience of previous events. Harry explained that the promoter would ensure the comfort of the audience at the Bruno Mars concert at JIS.

“There has been a lot of learning, improvement and improvement for various types of event needs. So we are very comfortable and confident in working with JIS. “Starting from before and after the concert, we try to maximize it better than before,” concluded Harry.
