To say that Coldplay is a band loved universally would be an understatement. Their songs and performances keep making our days in this mad, rushed world, and this Thursday morning is no different. After a nine-year gap, there’s gonna be a Coldplay concert in India, and we could have not expected a better solution to mid-week blues.
Eagerly awaited by many, the announcement about the Coldplay concert in India, was made on Wednesday through a teaser shared by BookMyShow Live. As per this announcement, Mumbai folks can expect to see Coldplay live in January 2025, at the DY Patil Stadium.
Tickets for Coldplay concert in India
The Coldplay concert dates are the 18th and 19th of January, and the tickets are expected to be available from September 22, 2024, at noon IST on BookMyShow with the starting price for tickets being Rs 2,500.
Bookmyshow also clarified that fans will be able to buy up to 8 tickets at once, which means that your long pending bucket list dream of watching Coldplay tour with your friends can come true this time. The two shows of the Coldplay concert in India will be part of the ongoing Music Of The Spheres World Tour, which has seen the beloved band perform across continents since March 2022. This Coldplay tour also happens to be one of the most attended tours by a group in history.
Coldplay’s last tour in India
Prior to the Coldplay tour 2025, the band has performed in India once. Back in 2016, the band performed in India as a part of the Global Citizen Festival, with many other performances. Chris Martin had however stolen hearts back then too. Not only with their songs and performances but also the once-in-a-lifetime moments that Coldplay gave us.
Even with a lineup that included their biggest hits like 'Head Full Of Dreams', 'Yellow', 'Paradise' and ‘Hymn For The Weekend', any fan will tell what the best part of the Coldplay concert in India in 2016 was ‘Fix You’. Loved the world over, ‘Fix You’ is an anthem for fans, and if you’ve ever experienced it being sung by Coldplay live, you can easily understand why.
Coldplay in Abu Dhabi
Right after the announcement, Coldplay's tickets went on sale in India and sold out before one could blink. While the Coldplay concert in India is scheduled for the 18th, 19th, and 21st of January 2025, the one in Abu Dhabi is on the 11th of January, and the tickets will be available on the Grammy-winning band's website from the 25th to the 27th of September, 2025.
For the Indian fans of Coldplay, who had high hopes, a quick trip to Abu Dhabi where they can see their favourite band play, in addition to all the places to visit in Abu Dhabi we have written about would be a great way to start the year. Coldplay concert in Abu Dhabi will be hosted in the Zayed Sports City Museum, which happens to have a capacity of 45,000 but given that it is their only show in GCC, the rush for tickets is expected to match that of India. While the opening guest musician for India has yet to be announced, Palestinian Chilean musician Elyanna will be opening for a Coldplay concert in Abu Dhabi. The fact that Abu Dhabi was recently announced as the safest city in the world, only makes it better.
Coldplay in South East Asia
If Abu Dhabi is not where you want to be, well, there are other places to see Coldplay live. The beloved band, in their Asia leg of the tour, will also be performing in Hong Kong and South Korea. For Hong Kong, the dates announced are 9th, 11th, and 12th April, and the venue will be the Kai Tak Stadium. Built in the space where the old airport used to be, Kai Tak Stadium can seat 50,000 people and is perfect for a Coldplay concert. The tickets go on sale on the 7th of October, and if you are planning to head there, be sure to check our quick guide to Hong Kong.
The Coldplay concert in Seoul is also a great option if you are considering combining travel and concert. In Goyang Stadium, with a seating capacity of 41,000 people, Coldplay will be doing 5 shows. The dates initially announced for the Coldplay concert in Seoul were 16th, 18th, 19th, and 22nd of April, 2025. Recently the band announced that they'll do an extra day on the 24th of April.
