If you're thinking about bagging tickets for Coldplay's 2025 UK tour, brace yourself for an electrifying atmosphere, a one-of-a-kind production and three hours of spectacular performance. As someone who had the honour of being at their 2023 Music of the Spheres gig, I can assure you it's worth every penny.
Coldplay will be gracing the UK with their eponymous tour, delivering a whopping ten-show stint at London's iconic Wembley Stadium. They'll also be putting on two standout shows in Hull - a location that might raise eyebrows but was personally selected by frontman Chris Martin.
Tickets are flying off the shelves at a near-record speed, with fans pulling out all the stops to witness live renditions of 'Yellow', 'Hurts Like Heaven', and 'A Sky Full of Stars'. Resale tickets are also seeing a surge in demand.

Having been there myself at the inaugural Music of the Spheres gig, it's a concert you'll want to tick off your bucket list.
What to expect in the Coldplay crowd
Hearing hits from 'A Rush of Blood to the Head' and 'Parachutes' is something many fans could only dream of, but Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion and Guy Berryman deliver a performance that goes beyond excellent vocals, drum, bass and guitar.
With every beat and lyric, fans can anticipate bursts of flame, light-up stands triggered by the timing of their wristbands, and parts of the show even powered by renewable energy. This was evident in the standing crowd in 2023 when fans helped power the stage by jumping in specific sections.
If it's anything like their previous UK gigs, fans will be given a battery-powered wristband upon entry, another gesture towards powering the show. In hits like 'Yellow' and 'A Sky Full of Stars', these wristbands create an atmosphere as hues of yellow and sparkling white take over.

Of course, those lucky enough to have 2025 tickets will probably get to enjoy their new 2024 chart-toppers 'Feels Like I'm Falling in Love' and 'We Pray'.
How to buy Coldplay tickets now
Tickets for Coldplay's recently announced 2025 UK gigs only hit the market a few months ago and they've already been gobbled up. The overwhelming demand has driven fans to turn to resale sites in a bid to secure tickets. If you're new to the world of resale sites, these platforms list tickets originally purchased during the sale by fans who can no longer make the concert. This gives those who missed out the first time around a chance to join the throng. Here's the breakdown:
Sites such as Viagogo and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that many event promoters say tickets should not be resold after initial purchase and will not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans attending live events with tickets acquired through resale websites are advised to double check the ticket terms and conditions at the point of sale - such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation - to ensure a smooth live event experience. Tickets could be voided if they were found to be bought second-hand. As a result, fans are buying at their own risk.
With that said, viagogo also commented: "viagogo is a regulated marketplace where fans have the guarantee."
