Anita said the cancellation came after an incident that happened last week between Rihanna and boyfriend, singer Chris Brown.

Brown was booked on a suspicion of making a criminal threat after he and an unidentified woman had an argument that escalated into a fight in a ritzy Los Angeles neighborhood, according to police; Rihanna and Brown pulled out of the Grammys hours before the Sunday telecast.

Anita said the cancellation was beyond the promoter’s control. However, she said, all paying customers would get a full refund plus Rp 200,000 worth of phone credit each from the main sponsor, GSM telecommunication service provider Axis.

Customers would also be given priority sales offer for a ticket to see the life performance of Jazon Mraz at the Axis Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival on March 7.
