Coldplay have announced a string of UK stadium shows for summer 2025.
The English dates are part of their record-breaking Music of The Spheres world tour, which has seen Coldplay perform to packed out stadiums across the globe. Headlining Glastonbury this summer, CLASH pronounced their set to be “magnetic”, adding:
There were guests galore – Laura Mvula graced the Pyramid Stage, Victoria Canal played piano on ‘Paradise’ while Little Simz guested on ‘We Pray’. In a moving cameo, Michael J Fox were brought onstage, clutching a Fender Strat.
Looking ahead, Coldplay will perform a number of shows in London and Hull next year. In all, the band will play Wembley Stadium six times, with two performances at Hull’s Craven Park Stadium.
The move was teased in a simple yet effective manner – a poster in Camden venue Dublin Castle mimicked the flyer for their first ever show, also at that venue.
Scribbled over the poster was a hint that something was coming – and that 10% of the band’s proceeds from those shows would be donated to the Music Venue Trust.

It’s a bold move, with Music Venue Trust CEO Mark Davyd commenting:
“Coldplay are the perfect example of a UK band who came through the grassroots circuit on their way to worldwide stadium-filling success. It’s fantastic to see them celebrating their own pathway to Wembley by giving back to the grassroots music venues that supported them and recognising the artists and promoters that are struggling more than ever to build their own careers. Through our partnership with Save Our Scene – who introduced us to Coldplay last year – this money will go directly into work that ensures communities right across the country will continue to have access to great live music on their doorstep. The band’s support really will stop venues closing, make tours happen and bring the joy of live music to thousands of people. After months of discussing Coldplay’s potential support around these UK shows with them, we’re so happy and grateful that the news is finally out there!”
The shows will be 100% powered by solar, wind and kinetic energy, while 50% of the tickets for the Hull shows – the first time Coldplay have performed in the city – will go to local fans (with HU, YO, DN or LN postcodes).
