Are you ready for the euphoria? Indonesia's biggest jazz concert is back! This year's Prambanan Jazz Festival (PJF) returns with more than 60 phenomenal guest stars. The concert, now in its 9th year, takes place over two weeks.

The first week of PJF was successfully held on July 7, 8 and 9. While the second week will be held on July 14, 15 and 16, 2023. The theme of this year's PJF is "The Magical Experience". This theme comes from a deep understanding that the existence of culture plays an important role in securing our future. In this digital age, when even art can be produced by artificial intelligence (AI), culture is the foundation that allows us to remain rooted in our human identity and live our lives firmly on this land.

After three years of hiatus due to the pandemic, the Prambanan Jazz Festival (PJF) returned with an unforgettable surprise. This festival presents not only national artists, but also international artists from different parts of the world. Among them are Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox, Lukas Graham, Eric Benet, Faouzia, Gispykings by Andre Reyes, Vertical Horizon, Bond, Conor Maynard, Tunde (Voice of the Lighthouse family), Seafret, Lucky Chops and Gemini. They will all deliver unforgettable performances on stage, promising a night of unforgettable musical magic.

In the first week, which ended yesterday, a number of artists have brought the night at Prambanan Temple to life with mesmerizing excitement. Some of them are Seafret, Gipsy Kings by Andre Reyes, Lucky Chops, Gemini, Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox, Kahitna, Tulus, HIVI! and many more. But don't worry, you can still enjoy performances by other artists in the second week. For a full list of artists, check out the official Prambanan Jazz Instagram account.

Don't worry for parents bringing young children! Prambanan Jazz is very child-friendly. No tickets are required for infants under 5 years old. In addition, children will not be bored because they can play in the Kids Area. For mothers who need a private place to breastfeed, Prambanan Jazz also offers a lactation room. This PJF event is also disabled-friendly by providing special facilities so that disabled friends can enjoy this festival comfortably.

You don't have to worry about getting hungry either. At this festival, there is an MSME market that should not be missed. Pasar Kangen Prambanan Jazz comes with a traditional culinary concept typical of Jogja that will spoil the entire audience in attendance. As in previous years, Prambanan Jazz continues to faithfully invite the Pasar Kangen community as a traditional MSME culinary tenant from Yogyakarta that harmoniously combines the concept and theme of Prambanan Jazz.

There is also good news for all of you! For those who want to get free tickets, we have a number of tickets for jazz fans to enjoy Prambanan Jazz for free. For more information, you can visit the @seasia.news Instagram account or access this link.
