Dua Lipa cancels concert in Indonesia over ‘safety issues’

Dua Lipa announced the cancellation of a concert scheduled for Saturday night in Jakarta, Indonesia, telling fans that the decision “really hurts her.”

The English/Albanian singer was due to perform on her global Asia tour for her third album Radical optimism. The Daily Mail The newspaper reports that she shared a statement on social media Friday, with her fans explaining why she wouldn’t go ahead.

She wrote: “It breaks my heart to say that I will not be able to perform in Jakarta this Saturday, November 9.

“I’m there in your amazing country and ready to perform, but I’m sad to say that it’s been determined that it’s not safe for the show to go ahead due to safety issues with the set-up.

“We were 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.

“Refunds will be made from your point of purchase. I love you all and I can’t wait to be in the same room together again singing and dancing our hearts out as soon as possible.”

Lipa has seen her star rise this year since headlining at Glastonbury Festival. She has sold out two nights at London’s Wembley Stadium for next summer. Time magazine included her in its list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2024.
