Coldplay is set to surpass Taylor Swift's record next year, with a groundbreaking ten-night run at London’s Wembley Stadium.

Initially, the band announced six performances in August, but due to "phenomenal demand" during a fan-only presale on Thursday morning, they added four more shows in September.

Ticket Sales

The general ticket sale opens at 9 AM on Friday, September 27, with prices starting at €20 (plus fees). Unlike many acts, the British band has chosen not to implement Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing model, which adjusts ticket prices based on demand. Instead, all prices will remain fixed at the advertised rate.

Following the high demand during presale, Coldplay announced their ninth and tenth shows at Wembley for September 7 and 8, 2025.

The 2025 tour is in support of their 10th album Moon Music, which is scheduled for release on October 4. Coldplay will also perform two nights at Hull’s Craven Park Stadium, where 50% of the tickets will be reserved for local residents in designated postcodes. Additionally, 10% of the proceeds will go to the Music Venue Trust, which aids grassroots music venues across the UK.

Chris Martin has hinted that this upcoming album could mark a turning point for the band’s future. While he previously suggested their “last proper record” would release in 2025, he later clarified that Coldplay has plans for two more albums. “We’re going to make 12 albums,” he said. “It’s incredible and I love it, but it’s also very intense.”

This 10-night run will secure Coldplay the record for the most performances at Wembley in a single year, surpassing the previous record of eight nights, held by both Taylor Swift and Take That. Coldplay’s six-night run in 2022 also cemented their place in Wembley’s history.

The band continues to prioritize sustainability, announcing earlier this year that they had achieved a 59% reduction in carbon emissions compared to their previous world tour. Additionally, to counter rising ticket costs, Coldplay has introduced £20 "Infinity Tickets" for each show. Sold in pairs, these tickets allow fans to sit anywhere in the venue, including prime seats.
