Beloved British pop band Coldplay have announced the 2025 dates for their “Music of the Spheres” world tour, with Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium set to host them on January 19 and 21. The announcement sparked a frenzy of excitement among Indian fans, who crashed the servers of the BookMyShow website and app on Sunday (Sep 22) when ticket sales opened. For those who were unable to secure a seat, fret not. The band is playing in venues across Asia and the United Kingdom, and bookings for these places are yet to open.
Here are five places where you can catch Coldplay live next year.
The British band is playing at the Zayed Sports City Stadium on January 11, 2025. It is the largest stadium in the United Arab Emirates with 44,260 seats and was inaugurated in 1980.
