Jakpro Reveals BTS Concert Progress in Jakarta; Will It Be at JIS?
PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) has disclosed developments regarding the BTS concert plan in Jakarta. Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) is known to have been proposed as the venue for the BTS concert in Jakarta at the end of December 2026.
Jakpro’s President Director Iwan Takwin said the concert promoter has held technical meetings with the stadium operator several times. Iwan said that he and the JIS team have discussed with the event organiser (EO) regarding various technical requirements for staging the concert.
‘The EO or the promoter of the BTS concert has met us several times, with the JIS team, technically and in terms of procedures,’ Iwan said at Taman Ismail Marzuki, Central Jakarta, Saturday (7 March 2026).
He explained that BTS management in South Korea is currently requesting various technical data related to the stadium. The data include venue specifications and support requirements such as lighting systems.
According to Iwan, the data request relates to the plan for a new stage to be used in the BTS tour. The stage is said to have a fairly large load, requiring a robust venue structure.
‘From BTS management in Korea they have requested all technical data of the stadium, the venue. They will present a completely new stage in their world tour and of course the load will be heavy,’ he said.
Therefore, Iwan continues, the management is very attentive to stadium construction aspects, especially the field or infield where the stage will stand.
‘That is what concerns them, they need a sturdier structure. So they are really concerned with the venue’s construction itself, particularly the infield,’ he noted.
Jakpro, he said, has submitted all the technical data requested, from details of the stadium structure to other technical needs such as the lighting system.
‘All the technical data they need has been submitted,’ he said.
Will BTS perform at JIS?
Nevertheless, the final decision on whether the BTS concert will be held at JIS will be determined by the management from South Korea. Iwan said BTS would announce their decision in April.
‘Information after April will be announced what their decision is,’ Iwan said.
He added that BTS management is also monitoring the enthusiasm of fans in Jakarta before making a decision about the concert venue. It is known that the BTS world tour concert in Jakarta is scheduled for 26-27 December 2026.
