The Corrs to perform at JCC

JAKARTA: Irish band The Corrs will perform here to waiting audiences on Wednesday in the Plenary Hall of the Jakarta Convention Center in Central Jakarta after they postponed their show in February.

The planned show had to be canceled earlier this year due to one of its members falling sick.

The Corrs, comprising four siblings, are popular among music lovers here and known for their compositions highlighted by traditional Irish music.

Over 6,600 fans are estimated to attend the coming show. Almost all of the 1,600 tickets in tribune seating have been sold out, while about 1,000 tickets for festival seating are still available to the public.

The price of a ticket for festival seating is Rp 300,000 (US$31.20) while tribune tickets range between Rp 500,000 and Rp 550,000.

According to Arey, a promotional staff member for Java Musikindo, tickets can be bought at Aquarius cassette shops here since the organizer does not plan to sell them through the convention center before the show.

It will be the second first-rate show to come to Jakarta over the past two weeks after Singaporean violinist Vanessa Mae entertained local fans last month. -- JP
