September 11, 2024, was the first day of Bruno Mars’ concert in Jakarta, Indonesia. The concert that many people have been waiting for was successfully held at the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS).

Bruno Mars performed energetically by performing more than 18 songs for almost two hours. He performed some of his hit songs, such as “Treasure”, “Finesse”, “Leave Open the Door”, “It Will Rain”, “Just The Way You Are”, “Uptown Funk”, and many more. Several exciting events occurred during Bruno Mars’ concert.

One of the most memorable and widely shared moments from the concert was when Bruno Mars spontaneously sang an Indonesian lyric. The audience’s reaction was priceless, as they were both surprised and delighted by his unexpected tribute.

During the performance of ‘Calling All My Lovelies ‘, Bruno Mars did something intriguing. He seemed to be calling out to a woman, but what caught everyone’s attention was his use of Indonesian. In a unique cultural exchange, he expressed his longing for the local language, which was a delightful surprise for the audience.

As Bruno Mars pretended to call out to someone, he uttered the words, ‘Aku kangen kamu sayang.’ The audience, caught off guard by his use of Indonesian, responded with boisterous shouts, creating a moment of shared excitement and engagement.

“Aku mau duit, duit banyak,” said Philip Lawrence on stage.

During the concert, Bruno Mars performed approximately 23 songs, some of which were performed in medley. His latest song with Lady Gaga, Die With A Smile, was also performed at the concert. The song was performed by Bruno with piano accompaniment.
