The story

Synchronize Fest in Jakarta

Synchronize Fest grew from a 2000s electronic-music initiative into a three-day festival, taking its current large-scale form in 2016 through a partnership between record label demajors and organizer Dyandra Promosindo. Held each October at Gambir Expo in North Jakarta, it deliberately spans genres from pop and rock to jazz, punk, metal, hip-hop, reggae, and ska, with artists from the 1960s through the 2000s on the same bill.

Synchronize Fest's roots trace to a 2000s electronic-music initiative that grew into a three-day festival by 2009 at the Plaza Indonesia Entertainment X'nter, but the event took its current large-scale branded form on October 28 to 30, 2016, through a collaboration between record label demajors and organizer Dyandra Promosindo, a partnership that marks the effective founding of the festival as it exists today.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Synchronize Fest's deliberate generational and genre breadth, programming artists from the 1960s through the 2000s across pop, rock, jazz, punk, metal, hip-hop, reggae, and ska on the same bill, is its clearest distinguishing feature among Jakarta's music festivals

02

The mystery stays covered

Rather than targeting a single music scene or demographic, its lineup is built to give older and younger audiences a shared reason to attend

03

The city starts moving

The festival's pandemic-era interruption, skipping in-person editions in 2020 and 2021 and instead broadcasting a 2020 edition on national television via SCTV, is a documented gap worth noting in its otherwise continuous annual run since 2016
