Several top international musicians, such as Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and Billie Eilish, have not included Indonesia as a destination for their concert tours.
Yet, in terms of audience enthusiasm, Indonesia is not inferior to other countries. What factors might be influencing this?
According to a survey by Kurious-Katadata Insight Center (KIC), 51.2% of respondents believe international musicians are reluctant to perform in Indonesia due to safety concerns.
Furthermore, 42% of respondents attribute this reluctance to the difficult concert licensing bureaucracy. This has also been acknowledged by the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Uno. He stated that the main obstacle for concert promoters is the licensing process.
"Therefore, this will be our basis for improving the licensing process, which now utilizes digitalization," said Sandiaga Uno, as reported by *Katadata.co.id* on Friday, June 23, 2023.
In addition, 30.7% of respondents believe international musicians are hesitant to perform in Indonesia due to the prevalence of ticket scalpers, and 27.2% cite high additional costs.
The Kurious-KIC survey involved 734 respondents spread across various regions of Indonesia, with 52.7% female respondents and 47.3% male respondents.
Data collection was conducted from June 26 to July 3, 2023, using computer-assisted web interviewing (CAWI), with a margin of error of approximately 3.61% and a 95% confidence level.
