Coldplay at London Wembley Stadium: dates, timings, last-minute tickets, travel information, seating map and everything you need to know (including rescheduled shows)

Coldplay have nearly completed something no band has ever done before: reaching double digits for the number of appearances at London’s Wembley Stadium in a single tour. That’s right, the group is at Wembley Stadium for 10 nights. That’s more of a mini-residency than a leg of a tour – and it’s only got one show left.

Coldplay’s mammoth Music of the Spheres world tour has been running since early 2022. Over the course of Coldplay’s Wembley gigs, nearly one million people will be treated to their signature showmanship.

There is now only one show left before Chris Martin and co break the record. Up to this point, things have gone pretty smoothly, with huge performances and a spectacular range of setlists. Gigs have been disrupted by tube strikes – which have forced Coldplay to reschedule two Wembley shows – but the residency is wrapping up in style this Friday.

Getting excited to see Coldplay? Of course you are. There are just a few things you need to know before heading to see Coldplay at Wembley Stadium, from timings and the setlist to last-minute ticket availability – here’s all the info you might need.

When are Coldplay playing Wembley Stadium?

Coldplay’s first night at Wembley was on Friday, August 22. They played six gigs there in August and had four more September. Here are all of the band’s 10 Wembley dates:

• Friday August 22

When are the rescheduled Coldplay Wembley shows? 

Coldplay announced that the final two shows of their Wembley residency (September 7 and 8) were rescheduled to Saturday, September 6 and Friday, September 12 respectively. 

The band said: ‘Without a tube service, it’s impossible to get 82,000 people to the concert and home again safely, and therefore no event licence can be granted for the nights of 7 and 8 September. To avoid cancelling the shows, our only option is to reschedule.’

What to do if you have tickets for Coldplay’s rescheduled shows

Fans with tickets for the original shows on September 7 and 8 can use the same tickets for their respective new date. 

What time do doors open?

Doors open at Wembley at 5pm, with the first support act starting at 6pm.

What time will Coldplay come on stage?

You can expect the band to take to the stage at around 8.15pm.

Last-minute tickets

Tickets for Coldplay at Wembley are like gold dust. Ever since the gigs sold out way back in September 2024, eager fans have been scouring resale sites for scraps. 

You may be in luck, though. Due to the band having to reschedule shows because of strikes, some fans were unable to attend – and more tickets became available. Time Out has a full guide to finding Coldplay tickets on resale, which you can find here.
