        "summary": "Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung is actively pushing to host a BTS concert in the city on 26-27 December 2026, deliberating between Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) and Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) as venues. He highlighted the challenges of transportation and parking for large events at JIS, announcing plans to connect it with Ancol for additional parking capacity of up to 10,000 vehicles and improved rail access to mitigate traffic congestion. These enhancements, targeted for completion by June 2026, aim to position Jakarta as a capable host for major international concerts without severe disruptions.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung stated that he is still advocating for\nthe South Korean music group BTS to hold a concert in Jakarta. BTS is\nreported to stage a concert in Jakarta on 26-27 December 2026. Pramono\nadmitted he is still considering the best location between Gelora Bung\nKarno (GBK) or Jakarta International Stadium (JIS). \u201cWhat I haven\u2019t\nsucceeded in yet is that I really want BTS to perform there. We\u2019re still\nfighting over whether it will be at JIS or GBK,\u201d Pramono said during the\nMusrenbang RKPD 2027 at Jakarta City Hall on Thursday (16\/4\/2026).\nNevertheless, Pramono noted that if the concert is decided for JIS, it\nwould present a new challenge for the local government to ensure all\nfacilities are ready for use. Pramono also acknowledged that the main\nchallenges in organising large events like international concerts are\ntransportation access and parking availability. \u201cYes, even though both\nare in Jakarta, I really want JIS to face the challenge of what if BTS\nperforms there,\u201d he said. \u201cAlhamdulillah, there will be a KRL going\nthere, we have connected JIS with Ancol, parking will no longer be at\nJIS, but at Ancol,\u201d Pramono explained. In addition, the government is\npreparing additional parking land in the Ancol area, claimed to\naccommodate up to 10,000 cars. This scheme is expected to reduce\ncongestion around the stadium during major events. \u201cEven 10,000 cars are\nfine, and it won\u2019t cause congestion so people can enjoy watching\nPersija, Bruno Mars, Adam Levine, Guns N\u2019 Roses who are about to perform\nsoon, Metallica,\u201d he said. The target is for these facilities to be\nusable by June 2026. Pramono hopes that with these transportation and\nsupporting facility improvements, Jakarta can be better prepared to host\nmajor world concerts without causing severe traffic jams.<\/p>",
