TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Reports suggested that President Joko `Jokowi` Widodo would attend Guns N Roses` concert after the rock band announced the upcoming concert at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Senayan, Central Jakarta. Jokowi is known as an avid fan of rock music.
However, confirmation from the country’s number one man did not give a certain answer; “The decision [to attend the concert] will be at the last minutes. So, maybe yes, maybe no,” said President Jokowi at the Merdeka Palace today, Nov. 8.
He maintained that his tight schedule would be the main reason if he would eventually decide to miss the concert.
“Who in here followed my schedule from dawn to dawn? I’d like to know if there is a spare time between official activities,” Jokowi said to journalists.
Guns N Roses’ “Not in This Lifetime Tour” is considered by many to be the comeback of the legendary rock band after the return of its renowned guitarist Saul “Slash” Hudson and bassist Duff McKagan that will share the same stage with the rest of the band.
