Andrea Bocelli arrives at Borobudur, bringing a world-class musical experience to Indonesia's heritage destination.
The Borobudur Temple area will be a special stage for Andrea Bocelli's concert on his world tour titled " Romanza 30th Anniversary World Tour ". The world-class tenor maestro from Italy is scheduled to perform at Lumbini Park, Borobudur Temple on October 31, 2026, presenting a world-class musical experience in the atmosphere of one of Indonesia's cultural heritage destinations.
This concert is part of the 30th anniversary celebration of the album Romanza , a work that marked Andrea Bocelli's landmark career and introduced his vocal style to music lovers around the world. The choice of Borobudur as the venue brings together world performing arts with Indonesian culture and heritage.
InJourney's President Director, Maya Watono, stated that this world-class concert is dedicated to strengthening Indonesia's national brand on the global stage. Through this strategic collaboration, Borobudur Temple will not only be positioned as a world heritage site but will also be sustainably developed as a center for international spiritual, cultural, and pilgrimage tourism.
"We believe that the Borobudur area is ready to host a concert that will become a momentum for Borobudur and Indonesia's nation branding in the eyes of the world," said Maya.
More than just a musical performance, Bocelli's presence at Borobudur demonstrates the potential of Indonesian heritage destinations to become part of the international stage. Hosting a world-class event in the Borobudur area also represents an effort to provide diverse experiences that connect art, culture, and tourism within a single ecosystem.
Indonesian Minister of Culture Fadli Zon stated that the performance at Borobudur provides an opportunity to bring together the richness of world music with one of Indonesia's most important cultural heritages. This also opens up opportunities for broader collaboration between international and local artists.
Indonesian Tourism Minister Widiyanti Putri Wardhana believes that hosting a world-class event in a destination like Borobudur can provide a more comprehensive experience for tourists. Visitors are invited to enjoy the rich culture and experiences that accompany it, thereby strengthening Indonesia's competitiveness and tourism image globally.
Indonesian Minister of Creative Economy Teuku Riefky Harsya believes large-scale concerts have the potential to drive the national creative economy ecosystem. The impact will be felt not only by musicians but also extends to various supporting sectors, from production teams, culinary, fashion, and digital content creators involved in the event's events.
Through its international events, InJourney continues to promote destination development that focuses not only on tourist visits but also on enhancing the quality of experiences, preserving cultural values, and collaborating with various stakeholders. This approach aligns with efforts to establish Borobudur as a destination capable of providing meaningful experiences while remaining globally competitive.
Bocelli's presence is expected to further strengthen the area's appeal as a heritage destination, combining Indonesian cultural heritage with international-class art. This momentum also opens up opportunities for tourists to experience Borobudur through more diverse and meaningful experiences.
