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!)

Tyas Mirasih

Hantu Budeg stars (sic) Tyas Mirasih, Keith Foo, Amel Alvie, Awang Sogi, Febriyanie, Zidni Adam, and Anie Klaus.
