The Difficulty Of Presenting St. Vincent To Perform In Indonesia

JAKARTA - Anne Erin Clark, known for her stage name St. Vincent, will visit Indonesia as a headliner for the 2024 Joyland Festival Jakarta.

The singer who is also known to have a distinctive guitar game will appear at GBK Baseball Stadium Senayan, Central Jakarta on Friday, November 22.

Ferry Darmawan as the Joyland Festival director program said, the presence of St. Vincent is a big achievement.

"Taking St. Vincent to Joyland is a great achievement. We really admire his beautiful works, and we can't wait to see his performance," said Ferry in Menteng, Central Jakarta recently.

Admittedly, it is not easy to present the 42-year-old musician. It took more time to persuade him to appear in Joyland, when compared to other performers.

"Usually (to present musicians takes time) a year, for St Vincent we have tried it since two years ago," said Ferry.

Furthermore, Ferry called St. Vincent as one of the big names, rarely to appear in a country far from the United States, his hometown, only for one show.

"For me personally, maybe St Vincent (most difficult to present), because his level and the number of groups are usually quite large," said Ferry.

"He rarely appears in one-off concerts. Usually he has to go on tours and requires some points so that the post-production can be fulfilled," he said.
