Dua Lipa cancels Indonesia leg of tour over unsafe staging

Due to dangerous staging, Dua Lipa, the main act at Glastonbury, has cancelled the Indonesian portion of her Asian tour.

Due to safety concerns at the 16,500-seat Indonesia Arena in the capital, the 29-year-old pop sensation cancelled her scheduled performance for Saturday in Jakarta.

“I’m heartbroken to share that I won’t be able to perform in Jakarta this Saturday,” she wrote in a social media post late Friday.

“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 had just performed in Singapore but her tour will now skip past Southeast Asia’s biggest economy and home to about 280 million people, moving on to the Philippines, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia and Thailand.

“I was so looking forward to this night, and it truly pains me that we cannot perform for you all, especially after such a long time since my last performance in Jakarta,” she said.

“I love 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.”
