JAKARTA - A number of music festivals in Indonesia are in danger of being canceled until the end of 2022. This is the impact of the crowd capacity of last week's Berdendang Bergoyang event. The Association of Indonesian Music Promotors (APMI) confirmed this possibility. The reason is, due to the incident of shaking, many concert permits have begun to be hampered by their expenses. "The condition is more or less like that," said Emil Mahyudin as Secretary General of APMI today, Thursday, November 3. Several concerts that will run this month are starting to experience problems in obtaining licenses. Emil admitted that there were several promoters who began to communicate with APMI regarding obstacles. “ Now we are in a state of uncertainty. Is that permit allowed to work? If possible, can't it work? Is it allowed indoor, can it be outdoors? Can it be up to 12.00 at night? Now it's full of uncertainty," he continued. “For example, Bekasi's SoundsFest on Saturday, Joyland Festival, and Market Shocked. Not to mention the pensi, corporate, ” Emil said. The hampered considerations consist of the capacity of the audience to the venue that adjusts to the audience. It is known that one of the cases with a shaking ring is the capacity of the audience which exceeds the number of reports. Therefore, APMI hopes that the authorities will not generalize all concerts and promoters. "Well, we don't want it, for example, if there is an incident in football, for example, it is the same as the incident at the concert, because the concert he has an SOP. People who enter are also also checked very well, we have crowd control, and we ourselves also had the same time together with the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy have compiled the CHSI Event, so the standard procedure for implementing the event is like that," said Emil. "Now we do advocacy but we hope everyone can join APMI so that they have one thing in common," said Emil again.
