Official Announcement
On August 26, Maryhouse Media, the local promoter for CLOSE YOUR EYES’ Jakarta tour stop, released an official statement announcing the cancellation of the group’s “BEYOND YOUR EYES” concert. The announcement was made just four days before the scheduled performance date of August 30.
The promoter stated that the decision came after receiving “the latest security advisories and official risk assessments regarding enhanced security controls, road closures, and movement restrictions in the areas surrounding Senayan and DPR RI during the week of the event”. Maryhouse Media emphasized that “our highest priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of all attendees, artists, venue personnel, and staff”.
The full official announcement was also shared through Maryhouse Media’s social media channels, expressing sincere apologies to all CLOSERs (CLOSE YOUR EYES’ fandom) for the disappointment and inconvenience caused.
Full Details
Safety Concerns Behind the Decision
The cancellation stems from security-related issues beyond the promoter’s control. According to Maryhouse Media, enhanced security measures in the Senayan area and around the Indonesian parliamentary complex would have made it difficult to safely proceed with the performance. The promoter determined that “it would be difficult to safely proceed with the performance scheduled for August 30” and made the “difficult decision to cancel the event”.
Refund Information
For fans who purchased tickets, Maryhouse Media has confirmed that refunds will be processed. The promoter stated they will “protect the rights and interests of all ticket purchasers” and proceed with refunds according to relevant procedures. Specific details regarding the refund process will be sent to registered ticket buyers via email within three business days.
Previous Cancellations in Indonesia
This is not the first CLOSE YOUR EYES concert cancellation in Indonesia. The group’s Surabaya concert, originally scheduled for August 28, was also canceled earlier. At that time, Maryhouse Media cited “unexpected local circumstances beyond the organizer’s control” as the reason. Ticket holders for the Surabaya show were given two options: a full refund or transferring their tickets to the Jakarta concert, with an additional seat provided per transfer. With the Jakarta concert now also canceled, all of CLOSE YOUR EYES’ scheduled Indonesia tour stops have been called off.
Earlier Kuala Lumpur Cancellation
The CLOSE YOUR EYES concert cancellation pattern extends beyond Indonesia. In March 2026, the group’s Kuala Lumpur concert, originally scheduled for March 28 as part of the same “BEYOND YOUR EYES” tour, was also canceled. Agency UNCORE announced at the time that the cancellation was “due to local circumstances”. Refund details were to be provided through the ticketing platform.
