Coldplay, one of the most iconic and beloved bands in the world, continues to push boundaries as they bring their Music of The Spheres World Tour to new heights. Following the overwhelming success of their summer 2024 European stadium shows and the announcement of eight additional UK dates, Coldplay has thrilled fans once again by unveiling an exclusive performance in the UAE. On January 11, 2025, the Grammy Award-winning band will grace the stage at the prestigious Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi, delivering a monumental show that will be their only performance in the entire Middle East region during this leg of the tour. This historic concert marks the band’s highly anticipated return to the UAE, a moment fans have eagerly awaited since Coldplay's last performance in Abu Dhabi in 2016.

Since the Music of The Spheres World Tour launched in March 2022, Coldplay has cemented its place in history, selling over 10 million tickets worldwide across Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. This extraordinary feat makes the tour the most attended by a group in history. The tour has captivated global audiences not just with Coldplay’s signature energy and artistry but also through its cutting-edge, immersive live performances. Beyond the Abu Dhabi concert, the band will also perform in major cities such as Mumbai, Seoul, and Hong Kong from January to April 2025. Critics and fans alike have heaped praise on the tour, which earned awards such as Favourite Touring Artist at the 2022 American Music Awards (AMAs) and Tour of the Year at the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

At the Abu Dhabi show, fans will witness Coldplay performing a blend of new and classic material, showcasing tracks from their Album of the Year-nominated Music of The Spheres and fresh singles like We Pray and “feelslikeimfallinginlove” from their upcoming album Moon Music. The concert will also feature timeless anthems defining Coldplay’s career, including Yellow, The Scientist, Clocks, Fix You, Viva La Vida, Paradise, A Sky Full of Stars, and Adventure of a Lifetime. True to Coldplay’s reputation for spectacular live performances, the show will be an unforgettable sensory experience filled with lasers, dazzling fireworks, and their signature LED wristbands, transforming the stadium into a kaleidoscope of colour and light.
