The disaster occurred when music fans tried to leave a concert hall in the city of Bandung as hundreds of others were surging in, witnesses said.
Most of the victims are said to have been teenagers, and concert organisers are being questioned by police.
The venue had more than twice as many people inside as was permitted, local media suggested.
"Outside, there were hundreds of people pushing to enter," one 19-year-old witness told the local Pikiran Rakyat newspaper.
"They were pushing at the gate.
"Inside, there were also a lot of people who wanted to leave, because the hall was so packed that it was difficult to breathe."
