CHVRCHES cancel show in Jakarta, fans left heartbroken

CHVRCHES' concert in Jakarta tomorrow is cancelled, promoter Sonic Live Asia announced yesterday.

The highly anticipated Indonesian concert, which was officially announced in May, was supposed to be CHVRCHES' only stop in Southeast Asia this year. The date is not listed on CHVRCHES' official tour page.

The show had been cancelled due to "unforeseen circumstances," Sonic Live Asia said in a statement on Instagram. "We sincerely apologize to all the fans who have been waiting to see CHVRCHES this Wednesday."

When Bandwagon asked Martin Doherty about the Jakarta show in an interview some months back, the CHVRCHES member had this to say: "I know we intend 100% to maintain our investments in Southeast Asia because the fans there are so different from the fans from the rest of the world. There's a special kind of energy we get from Southeast Asia that we don't get anywhere else."
