Java Rockin'land 2011 Ready to Go
If this was a car race, Gudang Garam Intermusic Java Rockin'land 2011 (GGI-JRL 2011) is at the starting line. The festival's engine has been making revving sounds since Java Festival Production (JFP) completed its mission to hold the "Andrea Bocelli, Live in Concert" project last May 15th.
Actually the tune up of GGI-JRL 2011's engine has been going on since end of March 2011. Paul Dankmeyer (Program Director) has been approaching the management of diverse international groups, whilst Eki Puradiredja (Program Coordinator) and team who are in charge of selecting the Indonesian rock groups due to perform at the festival, have also begun organizing the names of groups to be invited.
President Director of Java Festival Production, Dewi Gontha, stated, "Although we had to prepare and promote Andrea Bocelli's concert, we did not halt our preps for GGI-JRL 2011. We did decide to postpone the announcement of the names of artists due to perform at the festival to avoid overlapping promo activities."
The Art of Inviting Rock Groups
For the last couple of months, rock music enthusiasts in Indonesia have started sending in their wish list of performers they'd like to see perform at Gudang Garam InterMusic Java Rockin'land 2011. JFP has been accommodative of the wish list, although fulfilling it 100% would not be easy. "Scheduling and pricing (of artists –red) are the main challenges in getting the bands on the wish list," shared Paul Dankmeyer. "The fee that comes with getting certain rock bands are high. Festival organizers at first usually bargain for a lower price," continued Paul.
"The thing is, ticket prices for visitors must not be affected by the rocketing fees of the rock bands. That's why we also try to maintain affordable ticket prices for GGI-JRL, so that rock enthusiasts in Indonesia can still come to the event," added Dewi Gontha. At the moment, JFP has received confirmations from a number of international rock groups, including from the Philippines.
Gudang Garam Intermusic Java Rockin'land 2011, scheduled for 22, 23, 24 July at Carnaval Beach Ancol, is due to present The Cranberries (Ireland), Thirty Seconds to Mars (US), Happy Mondays (UK), Neon Trees (US), Blood Red Shoes (UK), Franco (the Philippines) and The Dirt Radicals (Australia) and many more.
Since there are so many Indonesian rock bands that wish to perform at GGI-JRL 2011, the program team are still in the midst of selecting the groups to be invited to perform. They plan to consider great rock bands and bands with the most request by the festival goers to perform at the festival. Just like all of JFP's festivals, Eki Puradiredja will also prepare a special project specially designed for GGI-JRL 2011.
