Coldplay have announced two brand new shows at London’s Wembley Stadium set to take place next summer.

The band took to their official X/Twitter account to announce the additional shows of their 2025 Music Of The Spheres tour. Chris Martin and co. had previously announced that they would be taking over Wembley Stadium for an eight-night residency, and have now shared that they will also be playing the legendary venue on September 7 and 8 of next year.

“Due to phenomenal demand in the presale, ninth and tenth Wembley Stadium shows have just been announced, for 7 & 8 September, 2025,” began the post.

It added that a “presale for these extra shows will begin at 2.30pm BST today (September 26), to those with presale access.The presale for the first eight Wembley shows has now ended. The general sale for all UK shows will begin tomorrow (Friday) at 9am BST.”

The new dates are in support of Coldplay’s 10th studio album ‘Moon Music‘ which is set for release on October 4. The dates also mark the band’s only UK and European shows of 2025. Coldplay have also promised that 10 per cent of their proceeds will be donated to the Music Venue Trust – helping to keep UK grassroots music venues open and fighting for the survival and development of upcoming artists.

“Coldplay are the perfect example of a UK band who came through the grassroots circuit on their way to worldwide stadium-filling success,” said MVT CEO Mark Davyd. “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.”

Davyd added that the 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,” he continued. “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!”

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).

Promising another “world first for a stadium show”, Coldplay will also be powering the Wembley shows’ production with 100 per solar, wind and kinetic energy – collected at the venue and elsewhere in the UK – and delivered by a specially-designed electric battery system. One of the satellite stages at each show will be fully powered by energy generated by the audience via kinetic flooring and power bikes.

The band’s ‘Music Of The Spheres’ tour recently became the biggest rock tour of all time, grossing $945.7million and selling 8.8million tickets since it began in March 2022. The shows have been praised for “setting a new standard” when it comes to an eco-conscious approach to live music, thanks to a slew of sustainable initiatives introduced by the band.

In other news, last week Martin sang ‘All My Love’ from the band’s forthcoming album ‘Moon Music‘ at a karaoke bar in Las Vegas.

The frontman sported a disguise in the form of an oversized suit, wig and glasses at Dino’s Lounge to perform the track after making a guest appearance at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Festival.
