SOS is proud to have introduced the band to MVT in December last year and are excited to work with them in helping ensure these funds are distributed in the most effective way. Here's what MVT CEO, Mark Davyd had to say about the news:

“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 general sale for both Wembley and Hull will begin at 9am BST on Friday, September 27.

The new dates are as follows:

AUGUST 2025

• 18 – Hull, Craven Park Stadium

• 19 – Hull, Craven Park Stadium

• 22 – London, Wembley Stadium

• 23 – London, Wembley Stadium

• 26 – London, Wembley Stadium

• 27 – London, Wembley Stadium

• 30 – London, Wembley Stadium

• 31 – London, Wembley Stadium

SHOWS 100% POWERED BY SOLAR, WIND & KINETIC ENERGY

In a world first for a stadium show, the band have also pledged to power the Wembley concerts’ production with 100% solar, wind and kinetic energy, collected at the venue and elsewhere in the UK, and delivered by a specially-designed electric battery system. In addition, one of the satellite stages at each show will be fully powered by energy generated by the audience via kinetic flooring and power bikes.

In June, the band announced that the tour has so far produced 59% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour in 2016/17, exceeding their original target of a 50% reduction. They also revealed that 9 million trees have already been planted (with a further million to be planted before the end of the year).

10% OF BAND’S PROCEEDS TO MUSIC VENUE TRUST

On Sunday evening, the band placed a poster in the window of the Dublin Castle in Camden, London – the scene of the first ever Coldplay show, in February 1998 – revealing that 10% of the band’s proceeds from the Wembley and Hull shows will be donated to Music Venue Trust. This will help fund the Trust’s vital work supporting UK Grassroots Music Venues and upcoming artists. Donations will also be made to Music Venue Trust by the concerts’ promoters (SJM Concerts, Metropolis Music and Live Nation), the band’s booking agent (WME), the venues (Wembley Stadium and Hull Craven Park) and the official ticket agents (Ticketmaster, See Tickets and AXS).

HOW YOU CAN GET TICKETS

Fans can get exclusive first access to tickets by ordering the band’s upcoming new album, Moon Music (landing October 4) from the official Coldplay UK or EU Stores – head to store.coldplay.com for more info and to purchase, before 11.59pm BST on Tuesday, September 24. All those who have already pre-ordered the album from the Coldplay UK or EU Store will automatically be eligible for the presale, which begins on Thursday, September 26 at 9am BST.

Following the spectacular sellout success of the summer 2024 European leg of Coldplay’s record-breaking Music Of The Spheres World Tour, the band have announced six new shows at London’s Wembley Stadium and two at Hull’s Craven Park Stadium, for August 2025. These are the only UK/European cities where the band will perform next year.

Fifty percent of the tickets for the Hull shows – the band’s first ever concerts in the city – will go to local fans (with HU, YO, DN or LN postcodes), via Ticketmaster on Thursday, September 26 at 6pm BST.

A NEW CHAPTER

Thank you Coldplay and their team for actively recognising the importance of this cause. We hope this will mark the beginning of a new chapter for our sector, ensuring UK live music is protected and sustained at all levels. Stay tuned for more details.
