Dua Lipa was forced to cancel her show in Jakarta due to safety concerns

Indonesian fans have Dua Lipa don’t feel radically optimistic. After patiently waiting “Happy for you” singer to perform live in the country, Dua Lipa’s concert scheduled for today (November 9) has been cancelled.

In a post shared to X (formerly Twitter), Dua Lipa announced that she was forced to cancel her performance in Jakarta due to safety concerns.

“I’m here in your amazing country and I’m ready to sing,” she wrote. “But I am disappointed to say that it has been determined that it is not safe for the show to go ahead due to safety issues with the set-up. I’ve been looking forward to this night and it really hurts that we can’t perform for all of you, especially after so long since my last performance in Jakarta.”

On web page for the show, organizers shared additional information on the decision.

“Despite the fact that Dua Lipa is ready to perform and the diligent efforts of the entire team to resolve critical production issues related to the stage structure provided by Mata Elang Productions, it is not certain that the show will go ahead,” the statement said. “This very difficult decision to cancel has been made with the utmost care and consideration for the safety of both the audience and the artist.”

According to the website, “all ticket holders are eligible for a refund.” However, they must submit official refund applications, which will be available between November 11 and 30. The organizers say that the refund request form will be sent to the email address shown when purchasing the ticket.

A new performance date has not yet been announced. But fans are hoping that the scheduled performance will take place before Dua Lipa’s 2025 The Tour of Radical Optimism.
