For rock music enthusiast, JRL Festival is one event that you surely don’t want to skip! Held in the course of 3 days, the event was reportedly packed with so many people. Day 1 was accounted by over 10.000 visitors! Don’t have an actual number over Day 2 & 3, but Dewi Gontha, as the Producer of the event, targeted 60.000 visitors for the whole event.

Local & Internatinal rock band were listed, such as PAS band, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Edane, God Bless, Ed Kowalczyk of LIVE, The Cranberries, Edane, Good Charlotte, Helloween, and a lot more of it!

We attend the event only at Day 2, and made some 360° panoramic shots of the concert. Power Slaves, Konspirasi, Kunci, God Bless, G-Pluck Beatles are some of the bands that we’ve had capture quite successfully. Unfortunately its not our luck to get a good capture during Ed Kowalczyk and The Cranberris performance. (more…)
