Jakarta (ANTARA) - Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo has projected that concerts by Guns N' Roses and BTS in the capital would generate more than Rp600 billion (around US$33 million) in economic impact.

Speaking at Jakarta City Hall on Friday, he said the projections were based on estimates from previous events, including nearly Rp300 billion generated by the Pestapora Music Festival and The Weeknd's concert.

He also highlighted Kanye West's recent Jakarta show, which is believed to have generated between Rp450 billion and Rp600 billion.

"When it comes to BTS and Guns N' Roses, I am convinced we will see even higher numbers," Pramono remarked.

Regarding BTS' upcoming three-day concert, the governor said the event is expected to attract 60,000 domestic concertgoers, along with around 10,000 fans from abroad.

"Since it spans three days, we speak about 30,000 foreign visitors. They can enjoy Jakarta if everything is managed well. I believe this particular show will prove much more economically impactful than the previous concerts," he stated.

Pramono further said the two upcoming concerts would contribute to the economy mainly through ticket sales, accommodation services, and shopping activities.

"The reports we received indicated that many concertgoers spend money on shopping while in Jakarta. And it should be noted that the two concerts attract two different audiences," he remarked.

In that context, the governor expressed confidence that older Guns N' Roses fans would spend significantly in Jakarta. Meanwhile, younger BTS audiences may have different spending habits but represent a larger segment.

The legendary American rock band Guns N' Roses is slated to perform at Madya Stadium in the Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) Complex in Senayan on Nov. 21, 2026.

Meanwhile, South Korean boy group BTS will hold a three-day concert at GBK Main Stadium on Dec. 26, 27, and 29, 2026.
