Prambanan Jazz Festival 2020 Still Held, Here's the New Schedule and Line Up of Performers!

Kapanlagi.com - One of the biggest annual jazz music events, Prambanan Jazz Festival, will enter its 6th edition this year. This festival consistently presents the collaboration of the Prambanan Temple as a world heritage site and the musical masterpiece of legendary musicians at the same time.

In previous years, a series of world-renowned musicians have participated, including names such as Kenny G, Rick Price, Sarah Brightman, Boyz II Men, Boyzone, YANNI, Brian McKnight, and Calum Scott. In addition, a number of top Indonesian musicians have also consistently performed at the Prambanan Jazz Festival year after year.

For the 6th edition to be held this year, there are some obstacles that arise. As we know, we are currently fighting against the Covid-19 pandemic, which has caused various entertainment events, including music events, to be canceled. However, it seems that Prambanan Jazz Festival #6 will still take place.

1. Rescheduled

Initially, the Prambanan Jazz Festival 2020 was scheduled for July 3, 4, and 5, 2020 at the Prambanan Temple Complex. However, the promoter has decided to reschedule it to October 30, 31, and November 1, 2020.

Considering the health and safety of the audience, artists, performers, crew, and everyone involved in the festival, Rajawali Indonesia as the promoter prioritizes it. Of course, Prambanan Jazz Festival 2020 will be held
while still adhering to the government's health protocols.

"We apologize for this rescheduling, we are concerned about the Covid-19 pandemic, but we still strive to present this annual festival even if we have to change the schedule and hopefully this pandemic will end soon," said Anas Syahrul Alimi, CEO of Rajawali Indonesia and Founder of Prambanan Jazz Festival.

2. Line Up Prambanan Jazz Festival 2020

The question is, who will be the line-up for Prambanan Jazz Festival 2020? That information was finally obtained by KapanLagi.com from a press release issued by the promoter recently.

On the first day, Fourtwnty, Hindia, Pamungkas, Andmesh, Nadine Amizah, Reality Club, Once Mekel, Joey Alexander, and Kunto Aji will entertain music lovers. In addition, the line-up can still be added.

On the second day, the Festival Show stage will be filled by Eva Celia, Isyana Sarasvati, Joko in Berlin, Egha De Latoya, and other artists will be updated.

Meanwhile, on the last day, visitors will be entertained by performances from Reza Artamevia, Sinten Remen (Tribute To Djaduk F), Ardhito Pramono, Janapati (Dewa Budjana and Tohpati), and Yura Yunita.

The Special Show stage itself will present a series of international musicians. One of them, Postmodern Jukebox, will perform on the third day. Postmodern Jukebox is a jazz/swing genre group of musicians founded by Scott Bradlee.

Some of the Special Show artist line-ups will be a surprise, such as a Grammy's award winner on the second day, as well as a dream pop music group that made their debut through SoundCloud and has many fans in Indonesia, it would be a pity to miss.

3. More Mature Concept and Stage Design

Co-Founder of Prambanan Jazz, Bakkar Wibowo, stated that rescheduling the Prambanan Jazz Festival 2020 will bring some changes. One of them is the presence of a more mature concept of stage design and venue. Like in previous years, Prambanan Jazz Festival 2020 will also collaborate with commissioned artists and always bring something different.

Meanwhile, for ticket holders, Prambanan Jazz informs that the tickets are valid for upcoming concerts, of course, with a lineup of artists that will be even more extensive than what has already been announced.
