Lokatune Launches Mmanja Tour Across Five Cities with Four Curated Indie Bands
Lokatune has officially announced the inaugural edition of the Mmanja Tour (Main Makin Jauh Tour), sending four curated independent bands across five Indonesian cities starting in October 2026, Gigsplay reported. The routing spans Sukabumi on October 8, 2026, Tangerang on October 27, 2026, Semarang on October 29, 2026, Yogyakarta on October 30, 2026, and Malang on November 1, 2026.
Rigorous Selection Process Behind the Four Tour Acts
The lineup did not come together by chance. Every participating band cleared a strict submission and curation window that opened at the beginning of 2026. Lokatune selected acts based on their completed material, solid stage presence, and the musical resonance needed to connect with wider audiences.
Lineup Details Across the Five Tour Stops
- Deeptalks (Banjarmasin): A modern metalcore unit that recently released a six-song debut EP structured as a sequential, six-part emotional journey.
- Gimme New Rhime (Samarinda): Formed in 2015 out of Sangasanga and rooted in the Samarinda scene, drawing clear influence from Dinosaur Jr., Weezer, and Arctic Monkeys.
- Seetrushkin (Makassar): Born in 2023 from the Makassar hardcore and punk community, blending catchy guitar riffs with heavy drum patterns and nostalgic youth themes.
- Retronics (Ternate): A raw garage rock band active since 2021 that tells direct stories drawn from everyday life.
