Dua Lipa will not perform in Jakarta on Saturday due to what the singer is calling “a safety issue with the staging.”
On Friday (Nov. 8), the pop star posted a message on her Instagram Story saying that “I am heartbroken 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 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.”

The show was meant to take place at Jakarta’s 16,500-capacity Indonesia Arena. Lipa’s announcement continues that ticket holders for the show will have their payments refunded to point of purchase.
“I was so looking forward to this night,” the statement continues, “and it pains me that we cannot perform for you all, especially after such a long time since my last performance in Jakarta. … 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.”
Dua Lipa’s next tour stop is on Nov. 13 in Manila, Philippines. Her November and December run through Asia precedes the 2025 Radical Optimism Tour, a 43-date run that’s scheduled to launch March 20 with a show at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia, and hit New Zealand before hopping to Europe for arena shows in Spain, France, Germany, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium and England and then moving on to North America for a fall run.
