The band announced this week they would also perform at Zayed Sports City Stadium on 9, 12 and 14 January, 2025.
Just as the hype around Coldplay’s upcoming concert in Abu Dhabi was escalating, Live Nation Middle East went ahead and announced three more shows. It’s true — following the incredible response to its first UAE concert announcement, set to take place on 11 January 2025, Coldplay will also perform at Zayed Sports City Stadium on 9, 12 and 14 January, so even more fans will experience its record-breaking Music of the Spheres World Tour.
In case you missed it, the pre-sale went live on Wednesday 25 September, followed by the Live Nation pre-sale on Thursday 26 September, and the general sale kicked off on Friday (both via www.livenation.me). And true to Coldplay’s fans-first approach, tickets were priced at an affordable AED 195. It goes without saying that tickets for the extra shows were expected to go just as fast, and they did!
Dubbed “the greatest live music show ever” by The Times, the Music of the Spheres World Tour is the British band’s eighth concert tour, earning rave reviews for its feel-good spectacle of familiar melodies, dazzling fireworks, confetti cannons, inflatable planets, and even LED wristbands synchronised with the music’s beat — all enhanced by Chris Martin’s gigawatt energy, of course. It’s essentially one big, fun singalong that has sold over ten million tickets worldwide.
Since kicking off, the tour has thrilled fans across Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, making it the most highly attended tour by a group of all time. Adding to its extensive two and a half year outing, along with Abu Dhabi, the tour is also travelling to Mumbai, Seoul and Hong Kong between January and April of 2025. The dates announced will see the band continuing to make good on their efforts to reach every corner of the globe.
Unsurprisingly, the tour has also picked up accolades such as Favourite Touring Artist at the 2022 AMAs and Tour of The Year at the 2023 iHeartRadio Awards. In addition to performing several hits from their Album of the Year-nominated Music of the Spheres and new singles “We Pray” and “feelslikeimfallinginlove” off their upcoming album Moon Music, the band will incorporate anthems from its incredible catalogue — “Yellow”, “The Scientist”, “Clocks”, “Fix You”, “Paradise”, “A Sky Full of Stars” and “Adventure of a Lifetime” included.
