KUALA LUMPUR: Following the cancellation of the Good Vibes Festival 2023, day three headline act The Strokes have come out to reassure Malaysian fans.
In an Instagram post yesterday lead singer Julian Casablancas apologised to fans who have waited decades for a concert.
"So sorry Malaysia, just heard that the festival was cancelled," Casablancas wrote.
"I know you've been waiting 20 years for The Strokes to come and play. Currently trying to figure something out, will let you know soon."
Malaysian fans thanked Casablancas in the comments for his kind words and cultural event space Rumah Tangsi even invited the band to perform for free.
The remaining two days of Good Vibes Festival 2023 (July 22 and 23) were cancelled by Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil on Saturday.
This was after UK band The 1975's lead singer Matty Healy ranted about Malaysia's anti-LGBT laws before kissing bassist Ross MacDonald on stage on Friday night.
The cancellation caused many local vendors and music acts to find support online as they were heavily impacted.
One of the music acts of day two, Australian singer The Kid Laroi, was able to hold an improvised mini-concert at a hotel lounge on Saturday.
