Jakarta. Around 130,000 people are expected to visit Jakarta’s Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) sports complex on Saturday as a Kanye West concert and several other major events take place simultaneously, raising concerns over traffic congestion and access to the venue.

Crowds are expected to build between 3 a.m. and midnight on Oct. 24, as the complex in Central Jakarta hosts the Ye Live in Jakarta concert, the Jakarta Running Festival 2026, a graduation ceremony for Universitas Nasional, BSI Expo, Agrinex Expo, and other activities.

The Bango Food Festival 2026, held at GBK’s City Forest, is also expected to draw visitors over the weekend, adding to the number of people in the area on Saturday and Sunday.

Visitors have been advised to check entrance gates and parking arrangements before traveling to the complex, as access schedules vary by event.

Visitors are advised to plan their journeys in advance, use the entrance designated for their event and follow instructions from officers on site to help keep traffic and pedestrian movement running smoothly throughout the weekend.
