Coldplay is set to make history at Wembley Stadium in 2025. The popular band made an exciting announcement by adding four more shows to their Music of the Spheres world tour. With this addition, Coldplay will become the first band to perform ten nights at Wembley Stadium during a single tour, breaking the previous record held by Taylor Swift and Take That.
The announcement was made on their official Instagram handle with the caption stating, "Due to phenomenal demand in the presale, ninth and tenth Wembley Stadium shows have just been announced, for 7 & 8 September, 2025." Initially, the band planned for six nights at the iconic venue, but due to high fans demand, they extended their stay. The new dates will be September 7 and 8, 2025, and presale tickets will soon be available.
On the other hand, they will also perform at Craven Park in Hull in August 2025, with a special guest yet to be announced. Earlier this year, Coldplay headlined the Glastonbury Festival, sharing the stage with renowned artists such as Little Simz and Femi Kuti.
Coldplay’s Record-Breaking Wembley Residency
The band's decision to play 10 nights at Wembley Stadium, a record previously held by Taylor Swift and Take That, comes as a surprise to many. The band's popularity has exploded in recent years, with their last album, Music of the Spheres, becoming a global success. The album topped charts worldwide and spawned several hit singles, including "My Universe" and "Higher Power."
This increase in popularity, however, hasn’t been met with equal enthusiasm from fans who are attempting to secure tickets for the band’s upcoming shows.
Fans Express Frustration Over Ticket Availability
The pre-sale tickets for Coldplay's upcoming UK concerts have proven to be unlucky for many fans. Tickets went on sale at 9am on Thursday for those who pre-ordered Coldplay's most recent album, with limited numbers available. Many, however, were disappointed when they tried to get their tickets since they saw lengthy lines when they logged onto Ticketmaster.
Fans talking about the concerts on social media also claim that the pre-sale tickets sold out in just 20 minutes. One person reported seeing the following notice flash up at 9.22am on the Ticketmaster website: "UPDATE: There are currently no available tickets in this pre-sale."
One angry fan wrote: “I just don’t understand. I know 99 per cent of them are scams but it’s so f****** unfair. I’m just a normal Coldplay fan with a code in at 9am, like I was told to and I’m 163,000th in the queue but yet there’s people already selling f****** tickets.”
Another fan added: “First pre sale for Coldplay earlier I started at 49,000, obviously didn’t get tickets. The latest pre sale, 85,000. I hate Ticketmaster so much”.
A third added: “This is my 3rd queue today trying to get Coldplay tickets…pissed off isn’t the word…Hate Ticketmaster with a vengeance. All I want is one ticket & I’m not paying £800-£1000 as ‘some’ are advertising.”
Another furious fan added: “Absolutely ridiculous on @TicketmasterUK again. Priority Access code, joined pre-queue at 08:30, into queue at 9am to be 38k in queue. Wait for 3 1/2 hours to get down to 990 then then informed that it’s closed and all pre sale tickets have gone. Fuming. @coldplay”.
Ticket Prices and Availability
The general sale tickets for all dates go on sale tomorrow, Friday, September 27, at 9am. Tickets can be bought via Ticketmaster. General admission standing tickets are priced £112.75 per ticket, while seated tickets range from £57.75 to £195.25 per ticket. The band’s also offering “infinity tickets” priced at £20 for every show. They are sold in pairs and can be placed anywhere in the venue, including some of the best seats at London’s Wembley Stadium.
Wembley Stadium: A Venue of Record-Breaking Concerts
Wembley Stadium holds 90,000 seats. It is classified as the largest sports venue in the UK and the second-largest stadium in Europe. Next summer, Coldplay will play an unprecedented 10 nights at London's Wembley Stadium, shattering the record held by Take That and Taylor Swift. During a fan-only presale on Thursday morning, the band revealed two additional performances in response to "phenomenal demand" for the eight-night engagement at the stadium that was initially scheduled for next summer.
Looking Ahead: Coldplay’s Future and the Music of the Spheres Tour
Fans of Coldplay, however, will not be able to see the band perform outside of the UK. The band has confirmed that their Wembley and Hull concerts will be their only European tour dates in 2025. With a busy touring schedule ahead of them, Coldplay fans will likely be waiting with bated breath to see what the band has in store for them next.
A Final Note: Sustainability and Accessibility
One of the most notable aspects of Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour is their commitment to sustainability. The band has implemented a number of initiatives to reduce their carbon footprint, including the use of renewable energy sources, the reduction of single-use plastics, and the planting of trees. They have also committed 10% of the tour’s proceeds to the Music Venue Trust, a charity that supports grassroots music venues around the UK.
With their record-breaking Wembley residency, their commitment to sustainability, and their continued musical success, Coldplay is set to continue their reign as one of the world’s most popular and influential bands.
What’s Next?
The band has already confirmed that they have plans to release two more albums, meaning that fans will have plenty more opportunities to hear new music from Coldplay in the years to come. And while the band has said that this tour could be their last, they have also hinted at the possibility of collaborating with other artists in the future.
The band’s commitment to sustainability and accessibility is a testament to their desire to create a more inclusive and sustainable world. By implementing these initiatives, Coldplay is setting a new standard for the music industry and inspiring other artists to follow suit.
Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour is a testament to the band’s enduring popularity and their commitment to creating a world-class musical experience. As they continue to tour and release new music, Coldplay is sure to remain one of the most beloved and influential bands in the world.
