In Jakarta, Indonesia, a group of conservative Muslims, organized by the 212 Brotherhood Alumni, staged a protest against Coldplay's upcoming concert, citing the band's vocal support for LGBTQ+ rights as contradictory to Indonesia's moral values. The protesters, rallying after Friday prayers, expressed concerns that the British band's advocacy could negatively influence Indonesian youth. Novel Bamukmin, a coordinator of the protest, emphasized this sentiment, declaring, "Coldplay has long been a strong supporter of LGBT and its lead singer is an atheist. We must reject their campaign, their concert here." This stance reflects a growing tension in Indonesia, a secular nation with a history of religious tolerance but also an increasingly vocal extremist fringe. Despite these protests, Indonesia's Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Uno has assured that the concert, part of Coldplay's "Music Of The Spheres World Tour" and highly anticipated by many Indonesian fans, will proceed without disruptions, highlighting its potential economic benefits in the post-pandemic recovery. The situation mirrors past incidents where international artists faced opposition in Indonesia due to their perceived cultural or moral stances, underlining the complex interplay between global cultural phenomena and local societal values.
