Hundreds of Muslims Protest Coldplay Concert in Indonesia, Claim They are LGBTQ ‘Propagandists’
Hundreds of Muslims protested the Coldplay concert in Indonesia, claiming that the band are LGBTQ “propagandists.”
An estimated 300-500 people participated in the protest at Gelora Bung Karno stadium in Jakarta on Wednesday after calls for the concert to be cancelled failed.
Over 70,000 people attended the concert, the band’s only stop in Indonesia during their “Music of the Spheres World Tour.” It had sold out within hours of tickets going on sale.
