After plenty of rumors and unofficial announcements, Coldplay confirmed that they will be back in India after nearly a decade, performing at D.Y. Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Jan. 18 and 19, 2025, as part of their Music of the Spheres World Tour. Due to “phenomenal demand”, a third date was later announced for Jan. 21.
The globe-trotting, eco-conscious tour stops in the same city where Chris Martin, Will Champion, Jonny Buckland, and Guy Berryman performed as headliners of the Global Citizen Festival in November 2016.
Promoted and produced by BookMyShow Live, the show was teased yesterday, on Sept. 18 with an animated visual shown to be broadcasted on Mumbai’s Bandra-Worli Sea Link bridge.
Tickets will go on sale on via BookMyShow on Sept. 22 at 12 pm. The poster for the concerts also added that a “mystery guest” will soon be announced to join Coldplay. Tickets are currently starting at ₹2,500, with standing floor tickets going for ₹6,450, going up all the way to ₹35,000 for lounge tickets.
While general sale begins sooner, Coldplay’s Infinity Tickets will go on sale on Nov. 22, 2024 on BookMyShow. Priced at ₹2,000 and to be purchased in pairs to give access across seating and standing categories, Infinity Tickets are released for every Coldplay show to “make the Music Of The Spheres World Tour accessible to fans for an affordable price,” a press release says.
It was in 2023 that Martin made an on-stage declaration of Coldplay’s intention to come back to India. At a concert in Vancouver, he saw an Indian fan and said, “India! One day we’re going to tour in India – we are so excited! Maybe in one or two years.”
Described as “its biggest show yet,” Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour in India is produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live, the live entertainment experiential division of BookMyShow, in partnership with Live Nation, the global producers of the tour.
The Music of the Spheres World Tour – promoting their ninth album of the same name from 2021 – kicked off in March 2022 and is slated to run until August 2025. A journeying spectacle that’s high on production, the concert often involves guest speakers, video messages around their sustainability efforts, fireworks, wristbands handed to each attendee that light up, multiple stage setups and more.
Coldplay’s India show will come on the back of releasing their 10th album Moon Music in October this year. Where Music of the Spheres leaned on pop stars like BTS (“My Universe”) and Selena Gomez (“Let Somebody Go”), Moon Music includes Afro artists like Burna Boy and Little Simz (“We Pray”) and Ayra Starr (“Good Feelings”). The new album’s first single came in June this year, called “Feels Like I’m Falling in Love.” The band are selling Moon Music CDs on a format called EcoCD, created from 90 percent recycled polycarbonate and sourced from post-consumer waste streams.
