Indonesian musician Indra Lesmana has commented on airline baggage policy following a dispute involving the band Juicy Luicy, according to Kompas.com. His remarks, reported on Friday, September 11, 2026, came after the band failed to appear at a music festival at XYZ Liveground in Batam.
Juicy Luicy has issued a clarification about the cancellation, ANTARA News Megapolitan and Okezone's celebrity desk reported. The band's explanation centered on a baggage issue that prevented them from performing as scheduled.
The dispute drew wider attention after reports of a baggage charge. Detikcom reported on Juicy Luicy's response to a figure of Rp64 million cited as an excess baggage cost. TribunStyle.com, meanwhile, described the matter as stemming from baggage fees and also noted that an account belonging to Uan Kaisar disappeared.
The episode has turned a single missed performance into a broader conversation about how carriers apply their baggage rules, particularly for touring performers who travel with equipment and other items. Indra Lesmana's entry into the discussion, as reported by Kompas.com, adds a prominent industry voice to that debate.
Juicy Luicy has maintained that the baggage matter was behind the canceled Batam appearance, per the clarifications carried by ANTARA News Megapolitan and Okezone. The band has not, in the material available, disputed the reported charge figure directly beyond responding to it.
What remains to be seen is whether the airline involved or Indonesian aviation authorities respond to the questions the case has raised about baggage fees and how they are communicated to passengers. Further statements from Juicy Luicy or Indra Lesmana may clarify where the discussion goes next.
