According to him, out of a total of 3,000 events including international concerts in 2023, the economic achievement target is around IDR 162 trillion or more than US$10 billion.

Reporting from KompasTV news, Coldplay's concert plans are in the spotlight of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI).
MUI Deputy Chairperson Anwar Abbas believes that the Coldplay music concert in Indonesia which is scheduled for November 15 2023 at the Bung Karno Main Stadium (GBK) is contrary to Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution, especially Article 29 paragraph (1).
Therefore, Anwar asked the government not only to think about the economy, but also to pay close attention to morals, morality and national culture which could be eroded by presenting a music group supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT).
"In our country's constitution, Article 29 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution clearly states that the state is based on Belief in One Almighty God. This means that there should be no activities that we carry out in this country that conflict with religious teachings," Anwar said in a written statement received by KompasTV, Thursday (18/5).
Anwar revealed that not one of the six religions recognized by the state justifies and tolerates LGBT practices.

Dilansir dari pemberitaan KompasTV, rencana konser Coldplay menjadi sorotan Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI).
Wakil Ketua Umum MUI Anwar Abbas menilai konser musik Coldplay di Indonesia yang diagendakan pada 15 November 2023 di Stadion Utama Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) bertentangan dengan Pancasila dan UUD 1945, terutama Pasal 29 ayat (1).
Oleh karenanya, Anwar meminta pemerintah tidak hanya memikirkan ekonomi, tapi juga mencermati akhlak, moralitas, dan budaya bangsa yang bisa terkikis dengan menghadirkan grup musik pendukung lesbian, gay, biseksual, dan transgender (LGBT).
"Dalam konstitusi negara kita Pasal 29 ayat (1) UUD 1945 jelas dikatakan Negara berdasar atas Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa. Artinya, tidak boleh ada di kegiatan yang kita lakukan di negeri ini yang bertentangan dengan ajaran agama," ujar Anwar dalam keterangan tertulisnya yang diterima KompasTV, Kamis (18/5).
Anwar mengungkapkan, tidak ada satu agama pun dari enam agama yang diakui oleh negara membenarkan dan menoleransi praktik LGBT.
