Grammy Award-winning global superstars Coldplay are set to head to the UAE with their highly anticipated Music Of The Spheres World Tour, making a single stop in the Middle East for a spectacular performance at Abu Dhabi’s Zayed Sports City Stadium on Jan. 11, 2025. This exclusive concert, announced by promoters Live Nation Middle East, promises to be a highlight of the region’s live music calendar and a not-to-be-missed event for fans across the Middle East.
Coldplay’s return to Abu Dhabi marks their first performance in the UAE since 2016, offering a rare chance for fans to experience their electrifying live show in a region where their performances have been few and far between. Joining the iconic British band is the rising star Chilean-Palestinian singer Elyanna, who has been a special guest on several of Coldplay’s recent performances, after their collaboration on the track We Pray featuring British rapper Little Simz, and Afrobeats legend, Burna Boy.

Since launching the Music Of The Spheres World Tour in March 2022, Coldplay has continued to shatter records, performing to over 10 million fans across the globe, making it the most attended tour by a band in history. With stops in Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, the tour has not only cemented their status as one of the biggest bands of all time but also underscored their ability to unite audiences worldwide.
Coldplay’s Abu Dhabi concert will be part of an extended leg of the tour that will also hit cities like Mumbai, Seoul, and Hong Kong between January and April 2025, reinforcing the band’s global appeal. Known for their breathtaking stage designs, immersive visual effects, and heartfelt performances, Coldplay’s shows have become as much a visual spectacle as a sonic one. Fans can expect dazzling light shows, eco-friendly pyrotechnics, and the band’s trademark wristbands that transform the audience into part of the experience.
Frontman Chris Martin has always made a point of highlighting Coldplay’s commitment to sustainability, with the Music Of The Spheres World Tour reflecting their ongoing efforts to reduce the environmental impact of live shows. The tour has featured pioneering initiatives like the use of renewable energy, electric transportation, and energy-harvesting dance floors, setting a new standard for eco-conscious touring.
With a setlist packed with fan favorites like Yellow, Fix You, Viva La Vida, and new hits from their album Music Of The Spheres, Coldplay’s Abu Dhabi concert is poised to be remembered for years to come.
