The British band will descend on the iconic London venue for their ‘Music Of The Spheres‘ tour next summer.
The run was originally meant to span six nights at Wembley Stadium on August 22, 23, 26, 27, 30 and 30, before they added September 3 and 4 to the trek. Today (September 26), Coldplay revealed two more dates on September 7 and 8 due to “phenomenal demand”, bringing their total to 10 nights in the English capital.
The general sale for all UK shows will begins tomorrow (Friday, September 27) at 9am BST, and you can purchase tickets here.
Due to phenomenal demand in the presale, ninth and tenth Wembley Stadium shows have just been announced, for 7 & 8 September, 2025.
The presale for these extra shows will begin at 2.30pm BST today, to those with presale access.

Swift and Take That were previously tied for the record of the most nights played at Wembley – both reaching a total of eight shows.
Coldplay also previously played six nights at the venue during the 2022 leg of their huge world tour, making their total double the previous record.
The upcoming shows are in support of Coldplay’s 10th studio album ‘Moon Music’ which is set for release on October 4.
The BBC reports that prices for Coldplays upcoming shows start at £20 plus fees, and that they’ve declined to use the dynamic ticket pricing structure that caused controversy for Oasis this month after price surges took many fans by surprise.
According to a message on Ticketmaster, the company stated that “all ticket prices for these concerts are fixed at the advertised rate”.
Next year Oasis will perform seven shows at Wembley in August and September. Following the initial sale, a private ballot was announced for the extra two London dates.
The band offered “a small step towards making amends” for the previous ticketing situation – including fans being held in queues for hours – with “a special invitation-only ballot ticket sale strategy”.
