Over the years, Jakarta, with its many loyal A7X fans, has become one
of our favorite cities to visit. And so it is with the deepest regret
that we announce tonight's (May 1) concert in Jakarta, Indonesia has
been cancelled.
Upon arriving at the venue in the morning and consulting with local
production staff it was determined that the stage at Carnaval Beach was
not safe and would endanger the band and the thousands of fans who had
purchased tickets. Although the building of a stage is the
responsibility of the promoter, not the band, our production crew made
every effort to work with local staff to find a way to overcome concerns
and put on a safe event. Unfortunately the safety concerns were too
great and made it impossible for us to perform.
You may read reports from others that the show was cancelled because
the band was worried about its security. Do not believe it. There is
only one reason the show was cancelled: the stage had numerous defects
and was not safe and our fans, as well as the band and crew, could have
been hurt.
Words cannot adequately express how disappointed we are at missing the opportunity to play in Jakarta.
**UPDATE**
We have been advised by the promoter that full refunds will be issue to
ticketholders at the Twin Plaza Hotel Ballroom on May 5 between the
hours of 10:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M.
