JAKARTA – British pop-punk musician Josh Holmes officially announces his first-ever concert in Indonesia. He schedules the performance for May 2, 2026, at COMA, M Bloc Jakarta. This event creates a massive buzz because all 350 tickets sold out in just five days. Interestingly, the artist achieved this milestone without any support from major labels or local promoters. Over 900 fans registered for tickets before the official sale even began. Consequently, this high demand proves the strong loyalty of his Indonesian fan base.
Josh also celebrates a new musical release alongside his Jakarta visit. He launches his latest single, Last First Kiss, on May 1, 2026, across all major streaming platforms. This song carries the classic pop-punk energy of the early 2000s. It reminds many listeners of legendary bands like Blink-182 and Simple Plan. Furthermore, the lyrics explore the deep theme of finding a soulmate.
A Personal Journey from Bali to the Jakarta Stage
The creative process for Last First Kiss actually started in Indonesia three years ago. Josh began writing the track in Bali but struggled to finish it at that time. Eventually, he completed the song after meeting his current partner. This personal connection gives the track an honest and emotional feel. He feels a deep bond with Jakarta because the city welcomed him so warmly. Even before landing in the country, the musician already describes Jakarta as his second home.
The Power of Independent Music Communities
Josh brings a reputation for high energy and sincere songwriting from Warwickshire, England. He previously gained significant attention from major media outlets like BBC Introducing and FAME Magazine. His other popular tracks include Say Yes and Everything’s Changing. However, this Jakarta concert serves as a unique testament to independent music communities. These fans do not wait for big industry promotions to support their favorite artists. Instead, they build international momentum through direct action and passion. Therefore, Jakarta marks a vital starting point for Holmes’ global journey as an independent musician.
