Surprise from the 2026 Prambanan Jazz Festival: NIKI as Headliner

JAKARTA - Indonesian pride singer who is now working under the auspices of 88rising, Niki Zefanya or commonly known as NIKI, is confirmed to shake the stage of the Prambanan Jazz Festival (PJF) 2026 which will be held on July 3 - 5.

The "lowkey" singer was appointed as the main performer (headliner) on the second day of the event. NIKI's presence at the Prambanan Temple grounds was a special moment, considering that he has been traveling for a long time on international prestigious stages, such as Coachella and his personal world tour.

CEO of the Prambanan Jazz Festival, Anas Alimi, said that the selection of NIKI was not without reason. Entering its 12th year of implementation, PJF carries the big theme "Celebrate the Joy" as a form of gratitude for the long journey of the music festival set against the cultural heritage.

"In this 12th year, we want every audience to go home with a smile. NIKI is the right person to represent 'Celebrate the Joy' - a world talent who brings great pride and happiness when he returns home," said Anas through a press release received by VOI, Tuesday, January 27.

NIKI's return to Indonesia to perform on the iconic stage of Yogyakarta is a special gift for his loyal fans, especially for PJF Lovers.

The organizer emphasized that NIKI's appearance will not only be a regular music concert, but an effort to build a deep emotional connection between musicians, audiences, and the grandeur of Prambanan Temple.

The atmosphere of Yogyakarta at night is predicted to magically merge with the honest lyrics and melodies brought by NIKI.

The festival strives to maintain international standards while still highlighting the values of thick local culture - creating a space for art appreciation that can be enjoyed by thousands of pairs of eyes.

For information, Prambanan Jazz consistently brings big names - both from within and outside the country - to promote event-based tourism in the Central Java and Yogyakarta regions.

Tickets to watch NIKI's stage performance at the 2026 Prambanan Jazz Festival can be obtained through TipTip or by visiting the official Prambanan Jazz social media account.

PJF Lovers are advised to continue to monitor the official channel so as not to miss other information and the complete list of other event participants which will be announced gradually.
