Promoter Raw Vision Collective expects up to 77,000 fans at the show, which will feature Ye's trademark 360-degree Globe Stage. The Ye Live Concert Tour is his first standalone tour in 10 years and promotes "Bully," which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

At an October 22 press conference, the promoter reported that 20,500 overseas fans had purchased tickets. Australia represented the largest share of international buyers, followed by Malaysia and Singapore. Raw Vision Collective also expected more than 30,000 domestic visitors from outside Jakarta during concert week.

For concertgoers traveling by road, the Jakarta Transportation Office has arranged parking at 19 locations and a shuttle bus service.

MRT Jakarta has extended its operating hours to support the concert, according to PT MRT Jakarta operations director Mega Tarigan. Saturday service runs from 5 a.m. to midnight, with trains every 10 minutes. Additional service continues from midnight to 1:30 a.m. Sunday, October 25, with trains every 14 minutes.

Hwang In-Youp returns to meet fans

Jakarta Concert Hall will host the 2026 Hwang In-Youp Fanmeeting Tour (To You) at 7 p.m. Saturday. The Korean actor, known for the drama "True Beauty," returns to meet Indonesian fans after his previous fan meeting in the country in 2025.

Sunda Kelapa's history at the Maritime Museum

Visitors to Jakarta's Maritime Museum can explore the port's changing role in "Gate of the Sea, Gate of the World: Sunda Kelapa Port Journey Across the Ocean." The exhibition is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and runs through November 29, following its public opening on September 9, 2026.

Five zones follow Sunda Kelapa's development from a Nusantara trading port through the VOC monopoly era to a modern cultural-heritage area. The exhibition forms part of preparations for Jakarta's 500th anniversary.

Sunda Kelapa once brought together ships, goods, people and cultures from around the world. It remains a working traditional harbor today.

Housing designs at M Bloc Space

The free Jakarta Architecture Festival 2026 exhibition at M Bloc Space runs from October 23 through November 1 under the theme "Ambang Ruang." Its displays include designs for 50 low-income homes in Menteng Tenggulun, Central Jakarta, developed by the Indonesian Architects Association's Jakarta chapter, IAI Jakarta, in collaboration with the Ministry of Housing and Settlement (PKP).

These are completed renovations rather than proposals awaiting construction. IAI Jakarta chairman Teguh Ariyanto said the owners had moved back into all 50 homes, with only a ceremonial inauguration still pending. Renovation budgets were roughly Rp20 million to Rp50 million per home.

The festival also displays the Slipi Petamburan Bus Stop design as preparations proceed for the facility's renovation. A walking tour is among the other activities offered.
