Set to take place from June 2 through June 4 at the JIExpo Kemayoran in Jakarta, Indonesia, the current performance line-up for this year’s Java Jazz sees a tonne of new additions, along with the removal of one artist. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased here.

New additions to this year’s Java Jazz line-up include Icelandic-Chinese artist Laufey, Indonesia’s own Reality Club, Ardhito Pramono, Teza Sumendra, Bilal Indrajaya, GAC and more.

Meanwhile, Ginger Root, who was first announced for the festival in March, has withdrawn from the festival. “They hope to return to Indonesia as soon as possible,” Java Jazz wrote on Instagram.

Headliners Stephen Sanchez, The Chicago Experience featuring Danny Seraphine & Jeff Coffey, Cory Wong and Max are all set to play special shows, which will require an additional ticket apart from general festival admission passes.

Java Jazz has also shared the daily line-ups for each day of the festival, with more acts set to be announced in the coming weeks.

Last year’s edition was headlined by acts including pop singer JoJo, The Temptations Revue featuring Glenn Leonard, and Grammy-Award winner and Maroon 5 keyboardist PJ Morton. Other International acts that played also included Emma Jean-Thackray and Dirty Loops.

Meanwhile, Indonesian acts in last year’s line-up included Dewa 19’s Ahmad Dhani featuring Ron King Big Band, Maliq & D’Essentials, Afgan, Danilla Riyadi, Lomba Sihir,  Romantic Echoes, Nadin Amizah, Tiara Andini, Basboi, Vira Talisa as well as Candra Darusman.
