Coldplay’s one-day concert pushes Indonesia to simplify permits

Indonesia is considering easing concert permits after international artists including Coldplay decided to hold longer concerts in neighbouring countries. The overwhelming demand for Coldplay tickets led many Indonesians to look to Singapore, where the series of concerts were extended to six days, and even Japan to watch the show. Taylor Swift skipped South-east Asia’s biggest economy entirely, which is known for its complicated licencing process, opting to perform in neighbouring Singapore.
