In our second report of immigration issues this week, we take a look at Indonesia and Rise Records band, This is Hell.
After some flight delays by Jetstar Airways much earlier today, their connecting flight was missed and they had to wait it out for a 7:30am flight to Indonesia. Now, the band is currently stuck in Indonesia with tickets back to Singapore, where the band landed just 16 hours ago.
At roughly 2am EST, This is Hell let their fans know of their current situation by tweet.
Indonesian immigration just denied us cause one of our passports was out of pages to stamp. Had to spend $800 on flights back to Singapore.

The band continued to call the officer on duty there a “piece of unhelpful shit.”
Unfortunately, the American Embassy in Indonesia is closed until tomorrow. So while they are trying to sort out their visas, it looks like they will be headed back to Singapore.
This is a pretty terrible start to a South East Asia tour. We wish the band the best and will continue to report as the story develops.
