Two nights of LANY in Jakarta
LANY is in Jakarta for two nights. The Los Angeles pop band brings The Soft World Tour to the city on October 29 and 30, 2026, part of a run through Asia and Australia. Expect a setlist built around the songs that made them a fixture of Indonesian playlists, including “ILYSB” and “Malibu Nights”.
Two dates in one city tells you something about demand. Few touring acts book a second Jakarta night unless the first one sells hard. Treat this as a show you plan for, not one you decide on that afternoon.
Confirm timing, venue and tickets on the official LANY site and the promoter’s channels. Those are the only sources worth trusting for this page’s details.
Thursday or Friday: picking your night
The two dates fall on a Thursday and a Friday. That shapes your evening more than you might expect in Jakarta.
- Thursday, October 29: a working night, so getting across the city before doors means leaving early. Afterwards, the roads usually empty out faster than on a weekend eve.
- Friday, October 30: the start of the weekend in a city where Friday evening traffic is famously heavy. The upside is no alarm the next morning, and late-night food is easier to justify.
- Flying in: if you are travelling from elsewhere in Indonesia or the region, Friday gives you Saturday to recover. Thursday lets you fly home on Friday.
If you hold tickets for both nights, sit or stand somewhere different on each. Seeing the stage from two angles is half the reason fans double up.
Venue and tickets
The official tour page is where the venue is named. This guide does not name it, because a wrong guess sends you to the wrong side of a city of more than ten million people.
Jakarta’s large international shows are spread widely. Some play the Senayan sports complex in Central Jakarta, and others play convention halls in the satellite cities to the south and west. The difference can be an hour or more in a car. Check the venue before you book a hotel, not after.
For tickets, start from the links posted by LANY and the official Indonesian promoter. Resale offers on social media and from touts (calo in Indonesian) are the main way people lose money on Jakarta concerts. Ticket prices and categories are listed on the official ticketing page.
Crossing Jakarta on show night
Traffic in Jakarta is the real opening act. Give yourself far more time than the map suggests, especially on Friday.
Your main options:
- MRT Jakarta: the North–South line runs from Lebak Bulus to Bundaran HI along Jalan Sudirman and Jalan Thamrin. It is the fastest way through the central business corridor if your venue sits near it.
- TransJakarta: the busway network has dedicated lanes on main roads. It is cheap and wide-reaching, but crowded at rush hour.
- KRL Commuterline: the suburban rail network is useful if the venue is out in a satellite city such as Tangerang.
- Grab and Gojek: ride-hailing cars and motorbike taxis (ojek) are everywhere. A motorbike slips through jams that hold cars still.
After the encore, thousands of people open the same apps at once. Prices surge and drivers struggle to reach the gates. Walking ten minutes away from the venue before you book a ride usually gets you picked up sooner.
Late October sits at the turn into Jakarta’s wet season, and heavy evening downpours are common. A light rain jacket costs you less effort than a soaked commute home.
Redeeming tickets the Jakarta way
Indonesian concerts have their own routine at the gate. Knowing it saves you a stressful queue.
- Bring the ID that matches your ticket. Local promoters commonly tie tickets to the buyer’s name and check identification at redemption or entry. Foreign visitors should carry a passport.
- Expect a wristband exchange. Many Jakarta shows swap e-tickets for wristbands at a redemption booth, sometimes on a separate day or at a separate time. Read the official instructions for this tour closely.
- Pay digitally. Merch stands and food vendors at Jakarta events generally take QRIS codes and e-wallets such as GoPay, OVO and DANA. Many also take cards. Carry some rupiah anyway, in case a signal drops.
- Check the bag rules. Promoters usually restrict large bags, professional cameras and outside food and drink. The official page lists what is allowed.
On the floor, Jakarta crowds sing every word, loudly and in English. Standing-area fans queue early for barrier spots. If you would rather breathe, an area near the sound desk usually gives you a clear view with more elbow room.
The songs the room waits for
LANY’s catalogue rewards fans who know the early records. “ILYSB” is the one the whole room sings first. Its looping synth hook and short title made it a lasting favourite with Indonesian listeners.
“Malibu Nights” goes the other way: slow, piano-led and heartbroken. It is the kind of song where phone torches come up across the arena. Frontman Paul Klein has a habit of talking to the crowd between songs, so expect a few pauses for him to address Jakarta directly.
The setlist itself is not fixed in advance. Fans following the tour through earlier Asian stops are the quickest guide to what the band is playing on this leg.
Making a night of it
Arrive hungry. Jakarta’s street food runs late, and the areas around big venues fill with carts and warung stalls on show nights. Look for nasi goreng, sate ayam and martabak.
If you are staying over, book a hotel on the same side of the city as the venue. A short ride back at midnight beats a long one through Jakarta’s toll roads. Confirm timing and tickets on the official site before you lock in any travel.
