Jakarta will keep MRT Jakarta, LRT Jakarta and Transjabodetabek services running later for upcoming Guns N' Roses and BTS concerts, Governor Pramono Anung said. The provincial government is preparing extended operating hours so spectators can use public transport after the performances finish.

Guns N' Roses are scheduled to perform at Stadion Madya GBK on 21 November 2026. BTS will bring their BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' to Stadion Utama GBK on 26, 27 and 29 December 2026.

In remarks cited on 13 November, Pramono said the city's support would also include traffic management and security around the concert sites. He estimated that the BTS shows would draw 60,000 spectators per day, including 10,000 foreign nationals.

Pramono said visits by overseas concertgoers offered an opportunity for Jakarta's hotels, food businesses and retailers. In a video posted on his personal Instagram account, he encouraged foreign visitors to spend money in the city during their stay.
