Simply put, the place for music lovers to be is at Joyland Festival Jakarta on 22-24 November 2024. If the initial lineup that included Bombay Bicycle Club, Blueboy, MONO, Real Estate and more wasn’t enough to entice you to come to GBK Senayan, Jakarta for the three-day festival, Plainsong Live has now announced its latest lineup that includes a couple of huge headliners and more exciting attractions in store.
Leading o the announcement is Annie Clark a.k.a. St. Vincent, the iconic multi-talented American artist known for her boundary-pushing work, her searing guitar-playing and her influence over today’s pop superstars such as Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo. “It’s a Joyland and personal milestone to bring St. Vincent to Joyland Festival Jakarta! We admire her delicate works and are dying to see her performance in a few months,” says Ferry Dermawan, Program Director of Joyland Festival. St. Vincent’s set will showcase her acclaimed 2024 album All Born Screaming that includes songs such as “Big Time Nothing”, “Flea” and “Broken Man”, as well as her older classic material including “Pay Your Way in Pain”, “Digital Witness”, “Cheerleader” and “New York”.
Rounding out the headliners for Joyland Festival Jakarta 2024 are legendary French atmospheric pop duo Air. In addition to performing tracks such as “La femme d’argent”, “Sexy Boy” and “Kelly Watch the Stars” as part of the celebrations for the 25th anniversary of their seminal debut album Moon Safari, Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel will also play other highlights from across their career of almost three decades, including “Cherry Blossom Girl” and “Electronic Performers”.
