Joyland Sessions 2025 Debuts, Featuring TV Girl to L'Impératrice

Kapanlagi.com - After confirming that the Joyland Festival will not be held in 2025, Plainsong Live, a concert promoter from Jakarta, presents a new program titled Joyland Sessions. The event, taking place on November 29-30, 2025, at GBK City Park, Jakarta, is a smaller and more intimate version of the Joyland Festival, while still carrying the distinctive spirit that has always characterized the main event of Plainsong Live.

With the cancellation of the Joyland Festival 2025, the presence of Joyland Sessions is expected to help alleviate the public's sorrow through an event that is similar in spirit, although different in execution. "Joyland Sessions is not the same as Joyland Festival. The scale is very different and it would not be fair to treat it as the same program. Although the scale of Joyland Sessions is smaller, the ticket prices are comparable to Joyland Festival because it will still feature international artists, complete production quality, and the attention we put into each Joyland event," said Ferry Dermawan, Program Director of Plainsong Live.

In its inaugural edition, Joyland Sessions is sure to be memorable thanks to the great musicians who will perform at this two-day event, such as L'Imperatrice, the nu-disco band from Paris, France; TV Girl, the indie pop group from San Diego, USA; Bright Eyes, the indie rock group from the USA led by Conor Oberst; The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, the indie pop group from New York reactivated by Kip Berman and performing in Jakarta for the first time since 2012; American singer-songwriter Sophia Regina Allison, aka Soccer Mommy; Canadian electronic music artist Luna Li; American rapper and producer Oddisee along with his backing band Good Compny. Several names that prove the diversity of Indonesian music today will also showcase their talent, including singer-songwriter Bernadya, the Indonesian trio that frequently tours abroad, the Arab-influenced funk group Ali, the romantic indie rock band Reality Club, the senior indie rock group Jirapah, the R&B duo Galdive, the charming classic pop group The Cottons, and the soul music proponents from Surabaya, Thee Marloes.
