JAKARTA – The Berdendang Bergoyang music festival, which violates the rules, will have a negative impact on a number of subsequent concerts in Jakarta. The Central Jakarta Metro Police, with the violation in the music concert Berdendang Bergoyang, will tighten the next licensing process.

"Of course, we will tighten licensing. This is to ensure that the organizing committee really complies with various applicable laws and regulations," said Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Komarudin when confirmed by VOI, Friday, November 4.

Kombes Komarudin hopes that the issue of the case of the Disbandment of the Rocking Music concert by the Police will be a special reflection for the organizers of a number of performances to comply with existing regulations. This problem, he continued, should be used as a lesson and pay more attention to other factors.

In accordance with the instructions of the Minister of Home Affairs No. 45 of 2022, namely the status of the capital that is still at a level where it is included for arts, culture, sports, social, and community activities with locations that can cause crowds are permitted with a capacity of 100% which needs to be complied with.

"The organizing committee must also comply with the policies issued by the government, both central and regional. Moreover, at this time we are still at PPKM level 1, which means in the clause it is explained that it can be 100 percent capacity, but how much is 100 percent. It must be adjusted to the capacity of the place, should not be beyond the capacity of the existing place," he explained.

Kombes Komarudin also asked the organizers not to force more and more visitors.

"Because the impact will be very bad, of course for the visitors themselves," he said.
