Following the sellout success of Coldplay’s summer 2024 European stadium shows and the announcement of eight new shows in the UK, Coldplay takes their Music Of The Spheres World Tour to unprecedented heights by announcing an exclusive performance in the UAE, with a massive show in Abu Dhabi, making it the only show for the full Middle East region.
The Grammy Award-winning band, known for their electrifying performances and timeless hits, will perform one show in Abu Dhabi on January 11th, 2025, at the iconic Zayed Sports City Stadium. This announcement marks a historic moment for UAE fans, who have been eagerly awaiting Coldplay’s return to the capital since 2016. Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour show in the UAE is presented by Live Nation, the global producers of the tour.
Since kicking off in March 2022, the Music Of The Spheres World Tour has sold over 10 million tickets 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.
Coldplay’s upcoming new album, Moon Music, lands on October 4, 2024 and notably will set new standards for sustainability, with each LP made from 100 per cent recycled plastic bottles (nine per record).
“I think what this album is about is a response to struggling with all the conflict within oneself, within myself, and also all the conflict outside, and working out what the best response is. And I think what Moon Music is trying to say is maybe love is the best response.”
– Chris Martin
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 release Moon Music, the group will incorporate anthems from the band’s incredible catalogue, including “Yellow”, “The Scientist”, “Clocks”, “Fix You”, “Viva La Vida”, “Paradise”, “A Sky Full Of Stars” and “Adventure Of A Lifetime” into the spectacular stadium show bursting with lasers, fireworks, and LED wristbands. The UAE show promises to deliver an unforgettable experience with mesmerising lights, pyrotechnics, dreamy experiences and larger-than-life performances that fans have come to love and expect from the band.
Tickets for Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour in Abu Dhabi will be available from September 25, 2024.
