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. The other week the band has announced a huge series of shows in London next summer – and after huge demand at presale today (September 26), they’ve added a bunch more dates.
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’.
