RANS Entertainment addresses RANS Carnival cancellations and controversies

PT Rans Entertainment Indonesia Tbk (RANS) has addressed several issues regarding the RANS Carnival events. In Yogyakarta, the company confirmed that several performers and tenants withdrew from the event held on October 31 to November 1, 2026, citing personal considerations following recent situational developments.

Management denied allegations of mobilizing residents with payments of Rp50,000, stating they did not instruct, initiate, or fund such activities, nor did they direct police or local village officials to do so. The company noted that Raffi Ahmad’s presence at a Youth Pledge commemoration in Jakarta may have influenced the event's preparations.

Additionally, the RANS Carnival and Cipungland events scheduled for November 14 to 15, 2026, at Plaza Asia Tasikmalaya have been officially canceled. The mall management reported they had not received detailed information regarding the specific performers or MSME participants before the cancellation was announced, noting that RANS was responsible for the event's technical concept.
