More than 200 conservative Muslims marched in Indonesia's capital, calling for the cancellation of a Coldplay concert over the British band's support for the LGBTQ+ community. The protesters, marching about half a mile away from the concert venue in Jakarta, held a large banner demanding the cancellation of the Coldplay concerts. It described the band as an LGBTQ+ propagandist, damaging faith and morals. Indonesia is secular and has a long history of religious tolerance, but a small extremist fringe has become more vocal in recent years. Earlier, this year, The 1975 also had to cancel its shows in Jakarta and Taipei after the Malaysian government cut short a music festival when the band's lead singer slammed Malaysia's anti-LGBTQ+ policies.
