TikTok Live Streamers Perform Live Music In Indonesia

In Jakarta, Indonesia, on May 17, 2025, Indonesian TikTok live streamers perform live music at the East Flood Canal (Banjir Kanal Timur). Many of these creators rely on real-time virtual gifts from viewers--a monetization feature of TikTok Live--to support their livelihoods. According to reports from We Are Social and Meltwater as of early 2025, Indonesia ranks second globally with 107.68 million TikTok users. Informal public spaces like this flood canal become creative stages for grassroots performers, blending entertainment with digital work in one of Southeast Asia's most active social media ecosystems.
