JAKARTA - British group Westlife is conducting a tour of The Wild Dreams in several cities. However, an incident in Yogyakarta has disappointed fans with the promoter.

On Sunday, October 2, Westlife held a concert at Prambanan Temple, Yogyakarta. They are ready to greet fans with various hits ranging from Uptown Girl to Flying Without Wings.

Westlife did perform on that day, but what was different was that they were sitting in the middle of a dark stage. There is no large screen that displays graphics according to the concept of the song, as well as lighting.

It made the audience feel confused because the only thing that was clear from the concert was Westlife in their colorful clothes. As a result, the promoter gave a statement on the same day.

"With this, Rajawali Indonesia as the promoter wants to clarify and apologize profusely for not lighting systems and Screen LEDs during the Westlife concert," wrote Rajawali Indonesia today, Monday, October 3.

The promoter reasoned that the rain that had fallen since the afternoon made the stage wet. They also discussed with Westlife management to turn off the entire screen and lighting system for the safety of Westlife and the audience present.

Dave Moffat and D'Masiv with Nania who were scheduled to open up also failed to appear. Because the rain didn't stop until 20.10 WIB.

Precisely at 20.30 WIB, Shane Filan, banyak media, Kian Egan, and Mark Feehily opened a surprise concert where Shane started an apology for the condition of the show that couldn't be done with artistic visuals and lighting, they said.

"This Westlife show at Prambanan Temple is indeed far from everyone's expectations, where these weather constraints are unavoidable," he continued.

The promoter is also responsible for refundating 100% of Westlife ticket buyers at Prambanan Temple, Yogyakarta. Later information will be given by the promoter through Rajawali Indonesia's official Instagram.

This post was enlivened by the audience. According to them, the promoter should have anticipated considering that Yogyakarta is raining heavily every day.

Earlier, we saw the IGs in the afternoon. The stage did not have a cover on it, why is that right?? It's been raining every afternoon for 3 days, why doesn't it anticipate that! wrote one audience.

This is not a force majeure, the promoter should be able to predict the situation especially now that Indonesia is entering the rainy season. It must be monitored until the disbursement process is complete," added another audience.

You should be able to anticipate, right? Jogja has been raining for 3 days. Isn't that the stage made in just a few hours??? H-1 must already be there and already feels rainy too?? Honestly, apart from being sorry for those from outside Jogja, it's also a pity for other artists. It's really bad, I'm really sorry," said another audience.
