Lady Gaga snubs ‘old-fashioned’ Indonesia for Singapore amid rising religious intolerance
Lady Gaga fans in Indonesia are blaming religious hardliners for the pop star's decision to only include Singapore as a regional stop on her "Mayhem" tour. The singer will perform multiple shows in Singapore in May, leaving Indonesian fans disappointed after a previous concert cancellation in Jakarta over a decade ago.
Many Indonesian fans expressed their frustration on social media, recalling the 2012 cancellation when conservative groups protested Lady Gaga's performance, citing concerns about her provocative attire corrupting the youth. Over 50,000 tickets had been sold for the Jakarta show, including to fans from Southeast Asia and Australia, highlighting the scale of the disappointment.
