If you’ve tried to snag a ticket for the Coldplay London tour dates, you already know the absolute chaos that is the Ticketmaster queue. It’s basically a rite of passage for fans at this point. You sit there, staring at a little walking man on your screen, praying the site doesn’t crash before you hit the front of the line.
Honestly, it's intense.
But here’s the thing: most people are looking at the 2025 schedule and missing the small details that actually determine whether you'll be standing on the pitch at Wembley or staring at a "Sold Out" screen. We're talking about a ten-night residency that has already been shuffled once due to London Underground strikes. If you aren't tracking the specific date shifts, you might end up showing up to an empty stadium a day late.
The Real Coldplay London Tour Dates for 2025
Let's look at the actual calendar. Coldplay is taking over Wembley Stadium in August and September 2025. This isn't just a couple of shows; it’s a massive ten-night run. Originally, the dates were set to wrap up on September 8th, but things changed fast.
Because of planned industrial action on the Tube, the final two shows had to be moved.
Here is the definitive schedule for Wembley Stadium:
- August 22, 23, 26, 27, 30, and 31
- September 3 and 4
- September 6 (Rescheduled from September 7)
- September 12 (Rescheduled from September 8)
If you have tickets for the 7th or 8th of September, they are still valid, but you're now going on the 6th or the 12th. It's a bit of a headache if you’ve booked hotels or flights from abroad, but the band was pretty clear that they couldn't safely get 82,000 people in and out of the stadium without the Tube running.
Why This Tour Is Different From 2022
You might remember they did a stint at Wembley a few years back. This time, it’s about Moon Music.
The production is leaning even harder into the "green" initiative. We’re talking about 100% of the show being powered by solar, wind, and kinetic energy. Yes, that means fans jumping on kinetic floors to help power the lights. It’s kinda wild when you think about the scale of it.
Also, the band is putting their money where their mouth is. They’ve pledged 10% of their proceeds from these UK shows to the Music Venue Trust. This is a big deal because grassroots music venues in the UK are struggling. It’s Coldplay’s way of making sure the places where they started out don’t disappear.
The Support Acts You’ll Actually See
The lineup for the opening acts isn't just a footnote. It’s actually pretty stacked. For the final night on September 12th, you’ve got Tems and Elyanna, plus the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela conducted by Gustavo Dudamel.
Imagine "Fix You" with a full symphony orchestra. That’s the level of production they're bringing to London.
The Mystery of the Infinity Tickets
If you missed out on the general sale—which, let's be real, most of us did—you've probably heard about the £20 Infinity Tickets.
People think these are a myth. They aren't.
Basically, Coldplay releases a small batch of these for every show. They are always sold in pairs and cost exactly £20 each. The catch? You don't know where you’re sitting until you pick up the tickets at the box office on the day of the show. You could be in the very back row, or you could end up in a front-row VIP seat.
For the London shows, these were scheduled for release in late 2024, but keep an eye on official channels. They usually drop with very little warning and vanish in seconds.
Survival Guide for Wembley Stadium
Wembley is a beast. If you haven't been, it’s Zone 4, and it takes longer to get out of than it does to get there.
Security and Bags
Wembley has a very strict "Restricted Bag Policy." Don't bring a backpack. They won't let you in. You’re allowed one small bag per person, no larger than an A4 sheet of paper. Honestly, just don't bring one if you can help it. It saves you an hour in the security line.
Cashless Venue
Don't bring cash for merch or food. The stadium is 100% cashless. If you want a £40 t-shirt or a £12 burger, you'll need a card or your phone.
The "Jumbotron Song"
This has become a tour tradition. Chris Martin usually picks a couple of people from the crowd and improvises a song about them. If you want a chance at this, bring a funny sign. Just make sure it’s not bigger than A3, or security will take it away.
Is 2026 Happening?
Everyone is asking about 2026.

As of right now, the Music of the Spheres World Tour is slated to pause after the London dates in September 2025. There are strong rumors—and some leaked schedule hints—that they might restart in 2027. However, for London fans, 2025 is likely the last chance to see this specific production in the UK.
The band has been touring this show since 2022. That’s a long time. They’ve broken records previously held by Elton John and Taylor Swift for attendance and revenue. By the time they hit Wembley in August, they’ll have played to millions of people across nearly every continent.
Actionable Steps for Ticket Holders
If you already have tickets, or you’re hunting for them, do these three things right now:
- Verify your date. Double-check if you were impacted by the September 7/8 reschedule. If you can't make the new dates, you had until early September 2025 to claim a refund, but at this stage, your best bet is the official Ticketmaster resale platform.
- Download the Coldplay App. It sounds like a gimmick, but the app actually tracks the carbon footprint of your travel to the show and gives you merch discounts for choosing "green" travel options like the train.
- Avoid Unofficial Resale. Viagogo and StubHub are flooded with Coldplay tickets, but Wembley is notorious for checking IDs against the lead booker's name. Use the Ticketmaster Fan-to-Fan Exchange to ensure your ticket is actually valid at the turnstile.
The energy at a London Coldplay show is unlike anything else. When those Xylobands light up during "Yellow," the entire stadium feels like it's vibrating. Just make sure you're there on the right day.
