A Night of Fire and Farewell: B.I’s The Last Parade Tour Ignites Jakarta

South Korean rapper, singer-songwriter, and producer B.I is come back to Indonesia for The 2025 B.I TOUR: The Last Parade Tour in Jakarta. Held on Saturday, September 13, 2025, The Kasablanka Hall pulsed with fans lined the entrance with their banners and BINBONG lightsticks. The atmosphere felt electric yet intimate, as if the whole city had gathered to send B.I off with love before his upcoming military service.

As the house lights dropped, the crowd erupted in unison, a deafening cheer that rivaled the opening chords of ‘Parade.’ B.I emerged dressed in a white cropped hoodie, its simplicity contrasting the dynamic energy he exuded. His perm-styled hair caught the stage lights as he launched into the title track of his latest album. The moment he stepped onto that stage, the room ignited, hands shot into the air, and chants of “B.I! B.I!” reverberated across the hall. 

Transitioning seamlessly into ‘Cosmos’ and ‘Free Fall,’ he proved from the start why his live performances have earned a reputation for being both technically flawless and emotionally charged. His vocals soared over the hall’s, drawing the audience into every beat. After the first set, B.I paused, the crowd hushed, eager to hear his first words of the night. Then, with a warm smile, he greeted them: “Apa kabar? Long time no see. My name is B.I from Korea.” The room exploded again. 

The setlist was a carefully curated journey through B.I’s discography. ‘Illa Illa’ brought a wave of nostalgia, while ‘Lover Boi,’ ‘BTBT,’ ‘Keep Me Up,’ and ‘Lover’ kept the crowd on their feet. The back dancers’ synchronization elevated the entire production, every spin, jump, and ripple matched B.I’s energy so perfectly that the stage felt alive.

Jakarta’s show had a surprise up its sleeve, the appearance of rapper Coogie as a special guest. Stepping onstage for the first time in Indonesia, Coogie admitted, “I’m so nervous,” a confession that endeared him instantly to the audience. But nerves didn’t hold him back. He delivered electrifying renditions of ‘Movin & Movin,’ ‘Two Pills,’and ‘Alone (Feat. LeeHi).’

When B.I returned after Coogie’s set, he came back swinging. He powered through legendary tracks like ‘Tasty,’ ‘Flame,’ ‘MICHELANGELO,’ ‘Waterfall,’ ‘BE I,’ and the iconic ‘ONE AND ONLY.’ Each performance was executed with the precision of a seasoned performer and the passion of someone who still treasures every moment onstage. For nearly two hours, B.I didn’t just perform, he commanded the stage. He sprinted from one end to the other and danced as though the music coursed through his veins.

Midway through the show, a touching fan project unfolded. As a video tribute played on the screen, showcasing B.I’s journey, the hall glowed with lightsticks spelling out supportive messages. Later, as he read a hand banner from the crowd, his expression softened. “I’m very thankful for the ID’s support all this time,” he said. His words hit home for fans who knew this concert marked his last major performance before his mandatory military enlistment. The realization that this might be their final live moment with him for a while made the atmosphere bittersweet.

Emotions reached their peak during the demo song session. B.I descended from the stage, closing the physical gap between himself and the fans. Leaning casually on the barricade, he took phones from ecstatic fans, snapping selfies with a playful grin. This fan service sent waves of excitement through the hall, proof of his genuine affection for the people who have supported him since his earliest days.

In his closing remarks, B.I reassured the crowd: even though he would soon step away for military service, they shouldn’t worry. “I’m still here,” he said gently, as if to anchor their hearts. It was a simple statement, but in that moment, it meant everything. Then he closed the show at that night with ‘Cosmos.’ The 2025 B.I TOUR: The Last Parade Tour in Jakarta wasn’t just another concert stop. It was an unforgettable chapter in B.I’s story and a reminder of the unbreakable bond between an artist and his fans. It was a precious farewell. Thank you B.I for your stunning performances and Three Mountain Ave for the invitations. See you in another time!
