A few days before the concert was officially announced, Surakata mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka had revealed that Dream Theater would be performing in the state, according to a Liputan 6 report on June 25.

Surakata is the home state of Indonesia’s president Joko Widodo, a known Dream Theater fan. When the band performed in the country in 2012, the politician told reporters that he would be blocking off time in order to catch the concert.
