Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Jakarta Provincial Government reaffirmed its full support for the upcoming Guns N' Roses and BTS concerts in the capital, preparing traffic management plans and even weather modification operations if needed.

"We will provide full support, including traffic management, and if weather intervention is needed to prevent rain, we will use various methods," Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung said at Jakarta City Hall on Friday.

He underscored the importance of ensuring the two major concerts run smoothly and seamlessly, noting that Jakarta has now become one of the world's leading event epicenters.

This was proven by the recent Ye concert, which generated a massive economic impact of Rp450 billion (around US$24.7 million) for Jakarta, he added.

On the same weekend, the Jakarta Running Festival also delivered a significant economic boost, bringing the combined economic impact of the two events to Rp625 billion (around US$34.3 million).

"This shows that the global public now has confidence in Jakarta. Moving forward, several major international celebrities will also hold concerts in Jakarta, some at Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) sports complex and others at the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS)," Pramono said.

Therefore, he expressed hope that international public trust in Jakarta will continue to grow.

Furthermore, he urged visitors from both abroad and outside the city to spend their money while in Jakarta.

Guns N' Roses is scheduled to perform in Indonesia on November 21 at GBK Madya Stadium, while the South Korean group BTS is set to stage their Arirang World Tour at the GBK Main Stadium on December 26, 27, and 29, 2026.
