Coldplay are coming to the UAE

Coldplay has officially revealed an exclusive concert in Abu Dhabi, as part of their historic "Music of the Spheres" world tour.

Scheduled for January 11, 2025, at Zayed Sports City Stadium, the performance will be the only show in the Middle East, making it a highly anticipated event for fans in the region.

The Grammy Award-winning band has achieved remarkable success with their current tour, selling over 10 million tickets worldwide and setting a new all-time record for fan attendance.

Following the sellout of their summer 2024 European stadium shows and the announcement of additional UK dates, Coldplay's upcoming performance in Abu Dhabi marks a significant moment for UAE fans who have eagerly awaited their return since 2016.

Presented by Live Nation, the Abu Dhabi concert promises an unforgettable experience, featuring spectacular visuals, lasers, fireworks, and a setlist that includes both hits from their Album of the Year-nominated Music of the Spheres and classic anthems like "Yellow," "The Scientist," and "Viva La Vida."

Tickets will be available via Live Nation Middle East, with presales starting on September 25 for fans registered on Coldplay’s website, followed by a general sale on September 27. 

The Music of the Spheres tour, which kicked off in March 2022, is also set to travel to Mumbai, Seoul, and Hong Kong in early 2025, highlighting the band’s commitment to reaching fans around the globe.

Coldplay is also focusing on sustainability, reporting a 59 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions compared to their previous stadium tour and planting over nine million trees worldwide as part of their environmental initiatives.
