Make no mistake, Coldplay are one of the best stadium rock bands out there. Massive hits, charismatic showmanship, even eco credentials… Chris Martin and co’s live show has it all. And now, excitingly, the band has announced a huge series of shows in London next summer.
Fresh from a soaring Glastonbury headline set (find the full Time Out review here), Coldplay have announced they’ll be playing a whopping six nights at Wembley in August 2025. That’s just one gig fewer than Oasis’ huge reunion shows at the same venue.
Interestingly, these will be no bog-standard stadium shows for Coldplay. For one, 10 percent of all proceeds will go to the Music Venue Trust, thereby supporting the UK’s independent venues. The shows at Wembley will also apparently be 100 percent powered by solar, wind and kinetic energy, which the band says is a ‘world first for a stadium show’.
Fancy seeing Coldplay in the flesh next summer? Tickets go on sale next week – here’s everything you need to know.
Coldplay London tour dates summer 2025

What’s been the reaction to the tour announcement so far?
Eco credentials? Supporting indie music venues? Cheaper tickets for fans? Of course the reaction to Coldplay’s tour has been resoundingly positive.
In a round-up of reactions on NME, on fan wrote: ‘Gotta say that is fantastic – 10 percent of proceeds is gonna make a huge difference to grassroots. Bravo to Coldplay team and all involved.’
Another said: ‘This is amazing news and the start of something big.’
Mark Davyd of the Music Venue Trust said: ‘It’s fantastic to see them celebrating their own pathway to Wembley by giving back to the grassroots music venues that supported them and recognising the artists and promoters that are struggling more than ever to build their own careers.’
