Dua Lipa will not perform in Jakarta this weekend over what the singer referred to as ‘a safety issue with the staging.’

Dua Lipa has cancelled her upcoming performance in Jakarta on November 9, citing “a safety issue with the staging.” Ticket refunds will be made from the point of purchase.

On Friday (November 8), the pop star took to Instagram to announce the cancellation of her show in the Indonesian capital this weekend:

“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.”

“Was so looking forward to this night, and it pains me that we cannot perform for you all, especially after such a long time since my last performance in Jakarta,” her statement continues. “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.”

The performance was meant to take place at Jakarta’s 16,500-seat Indonesia Arena. Ticket holders for the show will receive refunds through their point of purchase.

The “Levitating” singer’s next tour stop is November 13 in Manila, Philippines. Her stops throughout Asia in November and December, ending with a show in Seoul at the end of the year, precede her 2025 Radical Optimism Tour, a 43-date run that kicks off on March 20 in Melbourne, Australia. The tour hits New Zealand before heading to Europe for arena shows in Spain, France, Germany, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, and England, and then hops over to North American in the fall.

It’s an unlucky season for the singer, who was recently revealed not to be up for any Grammy Award nominations in 2025 for her latest album, Radical Optimism.
