Dua Lipa ‘gutted’ to cancel concert

Dua Lipa was forced to cancel a gig on Saturday (09.11.24) due to safety concerns.

The ‘Levitating’ hitmaker had arrived in Indonesia for her ‘Radical Optimism’ show at the Indonesia Arena in Jakarta but was left “gutted” when she was advised the performance couldn’t go ahead because of problems with the staging.

She said in a statement shared on X: “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.

“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.”

Dua vowed to return to the country “as soon as possible”.

She concluded: “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.”

Organisers TEM Presents and PK Entertainment admitted it had been a “very difficult decision” to cancel the gig but were forced to do so due to “critical production issues”.

They said in a joint statement: “Despite Dua Lipa’s readiness to perform, and the team’s diligent efforts to resolve critical production issues related to the stage structure provided by Mata Elang Productions, it is not safe for the performance to carry on.

“This very difficult decision to cancel was made with the utmost care and consideration for the safety of the audiences and artist.”

The 29-year-old star will next fly to the Philippines for her concert in Manila on Wednesday (13.11.24).
