Coldplay will perform an unforgettable concert in Abu Dhabi on January 11, 2025, as part of their Music of the Spheres World Tour.
Coldplay is set to captivate fans in Abu Dhabi with a much-anticipated performance on January 11, 2025, at the Zayed Sports City Stadium. This will mark the band’s only show in the Middle East during their acclaimed Music of the Spheres World Tour, which has already become one of the most successful tours of all time. The tour kicked off in March 2022 and has taken the group to some of the most iconic venues worldwide, selling over 10 million tickets along the way.
The Grammy Award-winning band, known for their electrifying live performances and anthems that have defined a generation, will bring an extraordinary setlist to Abu Dhabi. Fans can expect a mix of classics like Yellow, The Scientist, Clocks, Fix You, Viva La Vida, and A Sky Full of Stars, alongside new songs from their upcoming album Moon Music, including their latest singles We Pray and feelslikeimfallinginlove. Coldplay’s concerts are celebrated for their immersive experiences, combining dazzling light shows with lasers, fireworks, and their signature LED wristbands that make the crowd a part of the spectacle.
The Abu Dhabi show is part of Coldplay’s expansion into Asia in early 2025, with additional dates scheduled for Mumbai, Seoul, and Hong Kong. Their return to the Middle East comes nine years after their last performance in the UAE capital, making this concert an unmissable event for fans in the region. Zayed Sports City Stadium, the largest venue in Abu Dhabi, will provide the perfect backdrop for Coldplay’s larger-than-life stage production.
Since its launch, the Music of the Spheres tour has garnered critical acclaim, winning accolades such as Favourite Touring Artist at the 2022 American Music Awards and Tour of the Year at the 2023 iHeartRadio Awards. Coldplay has made sustainability a priority throughout this tour, partnering with DHL to achieve a 59% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to their previous tours and planting over 9 million trees globally. Their commitment to eco-friendly practices has been a hallmark of the tour, which also includes energy-generating dance floors and bikes at each venue.
In addition to spectacular live performances, Coldplay is also making waves with their upcoming album Moon Music, which is set to be released on October 4, 2024. The album, featuring collaborations with artists like Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna, and TINI, will be available on EcoCD and EcoRecord LP formats, made from 100% recycled plastic bottles. This new project delves into themes of internal and external conflict, with frontman Chris Martin hinting that the overarching message of the album is about responding to these struggles with love.
