Coldplay confirm Hull and Wembley 2025 concerts

Coldplay have confirmed they will play two concerts in Hull before heading to Wembley in August next year.

The band will appear at Craven Park on 18 and 19 August before performing six dates at Wembley Stadium.
A statement confirmed Hull and London will be the only UK and European cities where Coldplay will perform next summer.

The statement said half of the tickets for the Hull shows would go to local fans, dependent on them having an HU, YO, DN or LN postcode, to mark their first concert in the city.

What are Coldplay’s UK dates?
18 August: Craven Park Stadium, Hull
19 August: Craven Park Stadium, Hull
22 August: Wembley Stadium, London
23 August: Wembley Stadium, London
26 August: Wembley Stadium, London
27 August: Wembley Stadium, London
30 August: Wembley Stadium, London
31 August: Wembley Stadium, London

In a statement, Coldplay said 10% of the proceeds from the Wembley and Hull shows would be donated to the Music Venue Trust which supports grassroots venues and artists in the UK.

Dan Mauer, the promoter of the Polar Bear Music Club in Hull, described the fundraising plan as “massive news”.
“Smaller venues are really struggling so the fact they [Coldplay] have this initiative will be a huge lifeline to places like ours and others around the country,” he added.

‘Won the concert lottery’
Pre-sale tickets will be available on Thursday 26 September before a general sale begins 09:00 BST on Friday 27 September.

Emma, who describes herself as a “superfan”, lives near the stadium and said she was “frightened” she might miss out on a ticket.

“It will be all hands on deck. My mum, my dad, husband, son and friends are all going to try to get tickets. If not I’ll be camping out and listening outside.”

Paul Lakin, the chief executive of Hull KR, the rugby league club which owns Craven Park, said he had been in negotiations for “six or seven months” for the event.
He said: “We’ve won the concert lottery. To see Hull and Wembley as the only European dates is just incredible. The stadium is no stranger to big acts but this is on another level.”

Coldplay are due to release their 10th studio album, Moon Music, in October with the band claiming it will be their most “eco-friendly” record.
