By: SPATE Magazine According to reports, N.E.R.D. had just finished a performance at the Sunburst KL International festival in Jakarta, when they attempted to head to neighboring Indonesia, to play another date. Shortly after the show, the group was held by police for failing to get a permit from the government of the world’s most populated Muslim country, which has strict guidelines for performing. "Following investigations, we found that the group did not receive permission from the Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Ministry to perform at the concert,” Immigration Director-General Datuk Mahmood Adam told local media.
