Dua Lipa will not perform in Jakarta on Saturday due to what the singer calls a “security issue with the stage”.
On Friday (November 8), the pop star posted a message on her Instagram Story saying that “I'm sad to share that I won't be performing in Jakarta this Saturday, November 9. I am here in your amazing country and ready to perform, but I am disappointed to share that it has been determined that it is not safe for the show to continue due to safety issues with the staging.”
The show was to be held at Jakarta's 16,500-capacity Indonesia Arena. Lipa's statement continues that ticket holders for the show will be refunded at the point of purchase.
“I was so looking forward to this night,” the statement continued, “and it hurts that we can't play for all of you, especially after so long since my last performance in Jakarta. … I love you all and I really can't wait to get back together in the same room with you, singing and dancing our hearts out as soon as possible.”
Dua Lipa's next tour stop is November 13 in Manila, Philippines. Her November and December tour of Asia precedes the Radical Optimism tour 2025, a 43-date run scheduled to kick off on March 20 with a show at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia, and hit New Zealand before moving in Europe for arena shows in Spain, France, Germany, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium and England, and then we'll move on to North America for a fall run.
