Ne-Yo made the trek to Jakarta, Indonesia, to play a sold-out show last month. Backed by a full band, the “Closer” singer packed a full house at Istora Senayan, where he was also honored with a platinum plaque for sales in the country and traveled around the city with a police escort.

“It was my first time in Jakarta, Indonesia, but definitely won’t be my last! The love and hospitality of the people there has gone unprecedented. With immense energy filling the arena, it clearly reminded me of why I do this. And Jakarta…it’s all because of you. Tarima kasi!!” wrote the R&B gentleman.
