BMTH live in Jakarta 2024

This time around Ravel gets it right and BMTH (Bring Me The Horizon) are headlining the Nexfest festival in Jakarta which also features Babymetal. In this format there is no seating - which makes for a much more intimate experience - although you do have to arrive really early if you want to pick a spot right up close to the stage.  We arrived about six hours before BMTH were scheduled to start their performance and bought plenty of drinks to stay hydrated in the tropical afternoon heat (mind you, some of those were Iceland vodka mix!)

Sri Ratu Hotel, Legian

The hotel can also be a rather difficult place to find as it is tucked away down a little alley off the main street. All in all, this place is okay for one or two nights if you are in need of somewhere to stay. Any longer, look elsewhere!
