Due to “unforeseen safety and logistical issues” with the stage, Dua Lipa’s planned concert in Jakarta, Indonesia, has been canceled, according to the event organizers. On social media, the singer shared how disappointed she was by the cancellation, saying she was “heartbroken” because she had been looking forward to performing for her Indonesian fans.
In her message on X (formerly Twitter), Lipa explained, “I am here in your amazing country and ready to perform, but I am gutted to share that it has been determined that it is not safe for the performance to carry on due to safety issues with the staging.” She expressed how much she had been looking forward to the concert, especially since it had been a long time since her last show in Jakarta.
She said that she deeply regretted the circumstance and that she “loves you all and truly can’t wait to be back together in the same room with you singing and dancing our hearts out as soon as possible.” The safety of the stage was a worry that could not be addressed in time for the performance, therefore it was canceled.
The cancellation was confirmed in a joint statement posted on Lipa’s website by the organizers, TEM Presents and PK Entertainment. They clarified that the structure supplied by Mata Elang Productions was judged hazardous in spite of “diligent efforts” to address the stage’s problems. They stressed that “the utmost care and consideration for the safety of both the audiences and artist” went into the decision.
The message also acknowledged the disappointment experienced by those who had been anticipating the concert and apologized to fans for any inconvenience the cancellation had caused. Although Lipa’s team put a lot of effort into making the concert happen, safety had to come first.
A lot of well-known incidents of performers having safety issues on stage during this cancellation have occurred. Recently, Olivia Rodrigo collapsed during a performance in Melbourne, while Chris Martin, the lead singer for Coldplay, fell into a hole in the platform during a show in Sydney. “Oh my God, that was fun.” She reassured her admirers that in spite of this, she was fine.
Lipa’s followers are still behind her in spite of this setback, and she promised them she will return for more shows. She is still eager to take the stage again when the situation permits, despite the cancellation.
After achieving notable success with her albums Future Nostalgia and Radical Optimism, Lipa, who received a Brit Award for best pop performer earlier this year, is still regarded as one of the biggest names in the music business. After safety concerns are addressed, fans can anticipate her returning to Indonesia and other places.
