Java Rocking Land!

So not only we Jakartians are going to be entertained by Frenchmen Phoenix on August 1 - we will also have CUT/COPY on August 7 and… Java Rocking Land! The event will be held in Carnaval Beach, Ancol, from August 7 to August 9. The line-up boasts of the likes of Mew, Mr Big, Vertical Horizon, and also local/national kings and queens like Holy City Rollers, The Upstairs, Sore, Zeke and the Popo, Efek Rumah Kaca, Sajama Cut, Superman Is Dead, and many others. It’s going to kick ass!

I was astonished by how quick and easy their online ticketing is. First, you go to their official site. Click Tickets >> Ticket Order. Fill in your data, state how many tickets you want (the price keeps on rising as the D-Day gets near, so hurry and get your ticket now!).

Choose whether to pay by transferring money to the bank account of Java Festival Production (the name behind Java Jazz) or by credit card. I chose to transfer money (because I’ve spent too much with my credit card this month, haha). Then I faxed the receipt to them, and voila! Only a couple of minutes later, in my inbox I already got the validation code to download my tickets (which I should print on my own). Amazing!

So, I’ll see you there then guys. Somehow the names of Peter Gontha and Java Festival Pro (and Gudang Garam) make me sure that the festival won’t end up horrible like last year’s Jakarta Rock Parade.
