ABU DHABI, 20 days ago
Grammy Award-winning band, Coldplay, will return to Abu Dhabi in January 2025, almost after a decade, as part of their Music Of The Spheres World Tour that is being presented by Live Nation, the global producers of the tour.
Coldplay, known for their electrifying performances and timeless hits, will perform their only show in the Middle East region on January 11, 2025, at the iconic Zayed Sports City Stadium.
Tickets for the Abu Dhabi show will be available on Live Nation Middle East, the Middle East’s leading entertainment platform.
Fans can sign up for first access to tickets via the Coldplay presale at Coldplay.com. The artist presale will begin on September 25, at 12 noon; the Live Nation pre-sale will begin September 26, at 12 noon; and the General On-Sale will begin on September 27, at 12 noon.
Music Of The Spheres World Tour has sold over 10 million tickets across Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, since its launch in March 2022.
Adding to its extensive two and a half year outing, along with Abu Dhabi, the tour is also travelling to Mumbai, India, Seoul, South Korea, and Hong Kong between January and April of 2025.
The tour has also received rave reviews from fans and critics alike, picking up accolades including 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 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.
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% recycled plastic bottles (nine per record).
It is available to pre-order now on EcoCD, EcoRecord LP and digital.
Current single WE PRAY - with Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna and TINI - is the iTunes chart-topping follow-up to June’s double MTV VMAs-nominated single feelslikeimfallinginlove, which reached Number 1 on both the UK’s airplay chart and the Official Big Top 40.
Singer-songwriter and musician Chris Martin posted a video offering some insight into the album and its accompanying Notebook Edition, said: “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.”
The band recently issued an update on their sustainability initiatives, revealing that, on a show-by-show comparison, the current tour has so far produced 59% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour in 2016/17, exceeding their original target of a 50% reduction.
