The man who was once voted “The Greatest Frontman of All Time”, Liam Gallagher, was supposed to come to Jakarta for a concert on August 8, but, obviously, that didn’t happen. According to the concert promoters, the rescheduling was “not the initiative of the promoter but a unilateral decision by Liam Gallagher and his management due to scheduling conflicts and internal problems of their own.”
Well, whatever those internal problems were, the former Oasis frontman has not forgotten about his Indonesian fans and it looks like his rescheduled concert this Sunday at the Ecopark Convention Center in Ancol is actually going to happen. For more info and tickets.
