BABYMONSTER’s CHOOM World Tour Arrives in Jakarta on October 17
The YG Entertainment group is due onstage at Indonesia Arena in Jakarta on October 17 at 6:30 p.m. local time for the CHOOM world tour.
Jakarta is one of the first major stops of BABYMONSTER’s 2026–27 world tour ‘춤 (CHOOM)’. YG Entertainment’s official announcement sets the Indonesia concert for Saturday, October 17, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. WIB at Indonesia Arena in Jakarta.
The performance also appears on EKRAF Hub, Indonesia’s Ministry of Creative Economy platform, which identifies October 17 and Indonesia Arena as the tour date and location. That provides a local public listing alongside the agency’s own notice. The event is scheduled for today, but a listing alone should not be described as evidence that the concert has already begun.
A major stop for Indonesian MONSTIEZ
Indonesia has an active K-pop concert audience, and a stop at Indonesia Arena brings BABYMONSTER’s stage show into a dedicated large event venue. For fans, the practical details are the two separate types of information provided by organisers: the official concert time and the ticketing arrangements.
YG lists Tiket.com as the authorised ticketing channel. The earlier MONSTIEZ membership presale took place in June, with general admission sales opening on June 5. Those presale dates are historical information; they should not be mistaken for a newly opened October presale.
Why the CHOOM tour is notable
‘춤’, read CHOOM, is the Korean word for dance. The tour title places movement and performance at the centre of its identity. For an act whose concerts have to translate recorded vocals, rap and choreography into a shared live experience, that title sets an expectation of energy without confirming any particular stage or song arrangement in advance.
The Jakarta schedule forms part of a wider itinerary spanning cities across Asia and Oceania. Indonesia’s government creative-economy listing refers to a tour covering 18 cities, a helpful reminder that the Jakarta concert is part of a larger route rather than a one-night announcement.
Plan around Jakarta local time
6:30 p.m. WIB is Jakarta local time, which is two hours behind Seoul. International readers checking updates from Korea should distinguish the local venue schedule from Korean publication dates. Confirm the official entry instructions, transport and any bag or camera restrictions with the event organiser on the day of travel.
No verified set list or first-hand performance review has been included here, because the show has not been independently documented as completed at the time of this report. After the concert, official photographs or a verified local review would be appropriate sources for a separate follow-up.
