Set for January 11, at the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi, this will be the sole Middle Eastern show for Coldplay, marking its much-anticipated return to the capital after nearly a decade. The concert promises a night of unforgettable music and is expected to be one of the UAE’s most memorable live events. The band will also be joined by Palestinian-Chilean singer Elyanna, who recently collaborated with Coldplay on the song “We Pray”.
The Music of the Spheres World Tour, which kicked off in March 2022 traveling across Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, and Australasia, has broken attendance records, selling over 10 million tickets globally. The tour has received outstanding reviews from critics, with The Guardian calling it “a fantastical feel-good bonanza” and NME praising it as “genuinely stunning.” The Times said it was “the greatest live music show ever.” Fans in the UAE can expect a, exciting performance filled with lights, fireworks, and beloved hits like “Yellow,” “Fix You,” and “Viva La Vida.”
Ticket sales will kick off next week, with an artist presale starting at 12pm on Wednesday, September 25, via Coldplay.com. Live Nation, the tour’s global producer, will host their presale starting at 12pm on Thursday, September 26, on Livenation.me. For those who miss the presales, general tickets will go on sale at 12pm on Friday, September 27.
In addition, Coldplay reported that its current Music of the Spheres World Tour has generated 59% fewer carbon emissions compared to their previous stadium tour in 2016-2017. To further minimize the environmental impact, the band has planted over nine million trees worldwide, with an additional one million trees set to be planted.
Given Coldplay’s reputation for delivering one of the most memorable live performances in the music industry, fans in the UAE and beyond won’t want to miss this rare opportunity to see the band in Abu Dhabi. Ticket prices are yet to be announced, but demand is expected to be high, so expect them to sell out soon.
