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.
