Evanescence to Rock Jakarta for the First Time

12 Feb

Rock fans in Jakarta can look forward to yet another treat this month — American rock band Evanescence will be performing for the first time in the city on Feb. 25. “It’s something that we’ve all been waiting for,” said Sherwin Djajadi, director of concert promoter ShowMaxx Entertainment, who is bringing the band to Jakarta. Sherwin said it wasn’t an easy task to bring the band to Indonesia, adding that it took a year before the Evanescence band members finally agreed to a Jakarta concert. There were many factors the band had to consider, including security and public response. Sherwin said he had to show the band a list of international bands who had performed successful concerts in Indonesia. Sherwin said it was a blessing the band agreed to put Indonesia on its Asian tour itinerary. Before coming to Jakarta, Evanescence is scheduled to play in Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Hong Kong and Malaysia. The Jakarta concert will be held at the Jakarta International Expo Arena PRJ Kemayoran in Central Jakarta.
