Chris Martin would say ‘Don’t Panic’ but we say, do so. The legendary Brit band Coldplay are making their way back to the UAE in 2025 and those tickets will sell out fast! So fast that they added a second show. Last week, the Asia leg of their successful Music Of The Spheres World Tour confirming dates for a massive gig in Abu Dhabi.
Where is the Coldplay UAE concert taking place?
The Grammy Award-winning music act last performed at Dubai’s Expo City in 2022. This time they’ve booked out the colossal 45,000-seat Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi for January 11, 12 and 14 so it’s going to be a mega concert. As the UAE is the band’s only stop in the Middle East, those tickets will be gone before you can say ‘Clocks’.
