JAKARTA - Jazz music performances in the open air are back to greet Indonesian music lovers. Entering its 18th year of implementation, Jazz Gunung Indonesia (JGI) officially launched a complete list of musicians who are ready to shake the BRI Jazz Gunung Series 2026 stage.
This annual event is scheduled to take place in two mountain destinations in Indonesia, namely Mount Slamet in Banyumas, Central Java and Mount Bromo in Probolinggo, East Java.
Carrying the big theme "Jazztination", this festival combines the harmonization of jazz music with the attraction of a flagship tourist destination. The concept was deliberately designed so that this event would not only be a stage for conventional music performances, but also a strategic meeting space that combines art, local culture, natural landscape beauty, and the development of the national tourism sector.
One of the founders of Jazz Gunung Indonesia, Sigit Pramono, emphasized that the essence of this year's implementation has moved beyond the boundaries of jazz music itself. The existence of all stakeholders plays a crucial role in reviving the economic wheel of the mountainous area where the performance takes place.
"What we do is beyond jazz, the stakeholders involved in the BRI Jazz Gunung Series are not only limited to mere music concerts, but also creative economic actors, tourism, MSMEs, local communities, to the local community who play an active role in moving and bringing to life the ecosystem of these activities," said Sigit in a press conference in Thamrin, Central Jakarta, recently.
Meanwhile, for Aquarius Rudianto as Director of Network and Retail Funding of BRI, the active involvement of the banking industry in this creative industry is a tangible step to create a comprehensive economic impact around the event location. This commitment, which has been running for three years, is expected to be able to boost the local culture-based tourism ecosystem.
"BRI believes that culture-based festivals such as Jazz Gunung have a large multiplier effect, not only for creative industry players, but also for local communities and the tourism sector," said Aquarius.
The series of this year's festival will be opened by the BRI Jazz Gunung Slamet event which will be held in the Baturraden Tourism Area on June 27. A series of performers who are confirmed to be involved include Amelia Ong, Emptyyy, Mocca, NonaRia, and Kevin Yosua Big 6 who collaborated with Gracy Tamangendar.
Furthermore, the excitement shifted to East Java through the implementation of BRI Jazz Gunung Bromo which took place from July 18 to 25 at the Amfiteater Jiwa Jawa Resort Bromo.
A number of cross-generational and international musicians are confirmed to fill the stage at Bromo, ranging from Indra Lesmana LLW feat. Eva Celia & Teza Sumendra, Isyana Sarasvati, Bilal Indrajaya, Ali, Littlefingers, to international collectives such as Ring of Fire feat. Simone Prattico (Italy) & Sri Hanuraga, Plutato feat. Cait Lin (Taiwan), and Watchdog (France).
Furthermore, Assistant Deputy Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Economy, Ms. Ayu Astiwi, said that the success of maintaining the concept of environmentally friendly which led this festival to receive the "Green Event of the Year 2025" award is expected to be an example for other regions in Indonesia in developing sustainable tourism based on local wisdom.
