Bali lovers can expect to see even more incredible live acts coming to the island and Indonesia more broadly in the coming months and years.

The Minister for Tourism and Creative Economies, Sandiaga Uno, has established the Indonesian Tourism Fund, which he hopes can help secure more international artists to come and perform. 

Speaking to reporters in Australia last month, Minister Uno said, “This year, the government will disburse 2 trillion Rupiah through special tourism funds or the Indonesia Tourism Fund (ITF).”

He added, “I’m sure we will start [attracting more artists] with the Indonesia Tourism Fund. It is hoped that with this tourism fund, we can bid for good events in the coming years.”

Minister Uno joked “We need several incentives first; we need what the Singapore government and the Australian government did, namely bringing in Taylor Swift.

We need ‘Swiftnomics’ (the economic boost seen by a visit from Taylor Swift) in Indonesian tourism.”

Leading entertainment venues in Bali are already hosting international superstars on a regular basis.

Tourists only have to look at the events schedule for venues like Savaya in Uluwatu, Finns in Canggu, Atlas Beach Club in Canggu, and many more to see their favorite artists topping the bill. 

There is also hope that music festivals will grow in Bali. The first weekend of March saw the return of the Joyland Festival to Nusa Dua, and the Suara Festival is set to return to Nuanu City in Tabanan in late July.
