JAKARTA - The Association of Indonesian Music Promoters or APMI opened its voice about the incident that occurred at the Bring Me The Horizon concert at the Beach City International Stadium Ancol, North Jakarta on Friday, November 10.

The British band concert had to stop in the middle of the event, and then ended in chaos. Furthermore, the second day of concert on Saturday, November 11 must also be canceled.

Through the official Instagram account, APMI stated that it had coordinated with Ravel Entertainment as the member promoter who brought in Bring Me The Horizon.

"In response to what happened at the Bring Me The Horizon concert held by Ravel Entertainment as our member, APMI as an Association is conducting confirmation and coordination regarding the incident to related parties, namely Ravel Entertainment," reads APMI's statement, seen Monday, November 13.

"Hopefully the incident can be resolved properly by all parties, so that the performance and festival industry in Indonesia will improve," he continued.

In addition, Kemal Palevi, a public figure who was at the scene, again spoke via Instagram account about the condition of the concert location which was quite worrying that night.

Clarification from @bringmethehorizon. Make sure if you remove BMTH about venue security. The shake venue, hot venue, the high stage shakes the fear of collapsing. Because the class of BMTH (who brings their own tools), and EO, who has made music festivals several times, should have had a thin chance of missing about the dead sequencer with the videotron. Moreover, the H-7 tool has already entered. It must have been a ditrial many times, "wrote Kemal Palevi.

"And that opinion is reinforced by the opinion of the person who watched it in the middle of last night (I don't know if it's a real person watching it in the middle or not), but the situation of the audience in the middle is really that bad. In the fainting. If the show is continued, well, it could be real overnight," he continued.

Kemal also highlighted the behavior of the audience who had gone on stage after it was announced that the concert was stopped. According to him, this action cannot be justified. He hopes that what happened will not be repeated at other music concerts.

"Yes, I hope this BMTH concert can be a lesson together, especially from the promoter, and us as spectators. The point is, if you want to go berserk, don't go up and down the stage. I'm waiting for the band idol to perform, already save, not from out of town, then cancel in the middle of the event, it's amazing. But don't just go up to the stage and play with the original property of the band that performs too. That's the one on the original stage property of BMTH who tour Church of Genesis. Bete for sure the band if their tools ori are played. Yes, just make it a lesson for the next one, "concluded Kemal Palevi.
