JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — More than 200 conservative Muslims marched in Indonesia's capital on Wednesday, calling for the cancellation of a Coldplay concert that night over the British band's support for the LGBTQ+ community.
Coldplay is renowned for interlacing its values with its shows, such as the band’s push for environmental sustainability.
The Asian leg of Coldplay’s “Music Of The Spheres World Tour” includes Wednesday's concert at Gelora Bung Karno stadium in Jakarta.
Jakarta is one of the band’s top streaming hubs, with 1.6 million fans in the city.
