Rock On!

This is a picture from the Bruno Mars Concert. The crowd went crazy for him!

Over the past month many bands and singers have been coming to Jakarta for concerts. Bands and singers such as Ne-Yo, Far East Movement, Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber, and Maroon 5. Tickets to these concerts cost as much as two million rupiah! Some might say that its ridiculous, while some might say that it's totally worth it. In my opinion I think it's totally worth it. Its a once in a lifetime chance to watch one of these singers or bands live in concert. These singers and bands definitely bring huge urbanization impacts to Jakarta. The entertainment that they bring in to Jakarta makes Jakarta more industrial and city-like. These concerts could be one of the pull factors for someone to move to Jakarta. Not only that, it also gives jobs to a lot of people. These artists need people to help out with ticket selling and sponsors.

  1. Interesting and good choice of topic. You may not believe it, but I have been paying attention to the various bands coming to Jakarta as well and have been surprised by some of the names. Glad to see that you in the end linked things to urbanization. So how many concerts are you seeing in a year?
