Coldplay announce massive Manchester gigs next summer

Coldplay have, at last, confirmed that they will perform huge stadium shows here in Manchester next summer.

The British rockers teased that they would visit the city in their recent music video for Humankind, with cryptic clues hinting at new tour dates across Europe.

And this morning – just after completing six sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium – Coldplay have dropped details of more European and UK stadium shows.

The new UK leg of their Music of the Spheres World Tour will include two shows at the Etihad Stadium (on 31 May and 1 June) in Manchester, as well as a date in Cardiff.

Coldplay will also tour across Portugal, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands.

Their most recent tour has already sold more than four million tickets since it began in March 2022, receiving rave reviews across the board.

Coldplay have also made this tour as sustainable as possible, including kinetic dancefloors and power bikes that allow fans to literally charge the show.

Tickets for Colplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour 2023 will go on sale at 10am on Thursday 25 August.
