‘Heartbroken’ Dua Lipa Cancels Jakarta Show Over Unsafe Stage

Dua Lipa is having an unlucky Friday. Several hours after the Recording Academy revealed she wasn’t up for any Grammys for her third album Radical Optimism, the singer announced that her performance in Jakarta on Saturday has been cancelled due to “safety issues with the staging.”

“I’m heartbroken to share that I won’t be able to perform in Jakarta this Saturday,” she wrote. “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 singer was scheduled to perform at Indonesia Arena, Jakarta’s 16,500-capacity venue on Saturday.

“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 added. “I love you all and truly can’t wait to be back together in the same room with you signing and dancing our hearts out as soon as possible.
