Last-Minute Cancellation: Black Coffee's Goa Concert Stopped Over Good Friday Respect

The much-anticipated Goa leg of Grammy-winning DJ Black Coffee's India tour was abruptly canceled on Friday evening. Authorities revoked the No Objection Certificate, citing the need to respect Good Friday's solemnity.

Officials from the Communidade of Anjuna, who had initially granted permission, withdrew it after local residents and the Congress party raised objections. They noted the significance of the day as a reason for cancellation.

Goa Pradesh Congress Committee President Amit Patkar condemned the event as insensitive. The Congress demands a probe into the sale of tickets without requisite permissions, spotlighting concerns over cultural sensitivity and regulatory practices.
