Lady Gaga indonesia,The Islamist FPI had threatened violence if the concert went ahead, calling Lady Gaga a "devil's messenger" who wears only a "bra and panties".
Habib Salim Alatas, the group's FPI Jakarta chairman, said the cancellation was "good news" for Indonesia's Muslims.
"FPI is grateful that she has decided not to come. Indonesians will be protected from sin brought about by this Mother Monster, the destroyer of morals," he told AFP news agency.
He added: "Lady Gaga fans, stop complaining. Repent and stop worshipping the devil. Do you want your lives taken away by God as infidels?"
Indonesia's conservative Religious Affairs Minister, Suryadharma Ali, also welcomed the cancellation.
"I strongly believe this cancellation will benefit the country," he said.
"Indonesians need entertainment and art which have moral values."
Following the cancellation, Lady Gaga took to Twitter again to apologise.
"We had to cancel the concert in Indonesia," she said. "I'm so very sorry to the fans and just as devastated as you, if not more. You are everything to me."
This is not the first time that the 26-year-old performer has faced objections during her Asian tour.
Her concert in South Korea in April was made an adults-only event following protests from Christian groups.
Protests also took place in the Philippines, with Christian groups accusing her of being blasphemous.
She is scheduled to play three shows in Singapore this week before moving on to New Zealand and Australia.
