Beyoncé avoids dress code in Indonesia

Beyoncé has avoided having a strict dress code placed upon her when she performs in Indonesia next month, by moving her concert to Jakarta.

The 'Baby Boy' singer cancelled her scheduled performance in Malaysia because she refused to be inhibited in terms of both dress code and performance style.

She has now decided to play in the Indonesian capital on November 1 instead, and has been told that authorities would not be requesting that she cover up to keep Muslim groups happy.

A spokesperson for the concert promoter, Nia Zulkarnaen, said: "I expect Indonesians to see this in a positive light. She is a great singer and her stage act is entertaining. Why should we say no to the way she dresses?"

Beyoncé said: "Praise be to God, there has been no such demand. They realise it's positive entertainment for the youth."
