Coldplay are set to break records previously set by Taylor Swift and Take That with their huge 10-night run at Wembley Stadium next summer.
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.
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”.

Franz Ferdinand have already previewed ‘The Human Fear’ with the single ‘Audacious’. The album will follow on from the group’s acclaimed and dance-driven 2018 record, ‘Always Ascending’.
Speaking to NME recently, frontman Alex Kapranos explained: “It feels great to be putting a single out after a wee while, but this is also the beginnings of a new album. That’s a big milestone in Franz Ferdinand history.”
As for what fans can expect from ‘The Human Fear’, Kapranos added: “I’m not going to give away too much now because there’s still a bit of time before the album comes out, but I will say [‘Audacious’] is not the only sound that you’re going to get on the album – quite extremely far from it in some cases.
“I don’t think there’s a single song that you’ll hear on the album and won’t think, ‘Oh, is that Franz Ferdinand?’ At the same time, they will be thinking, ‘Oh, did they really do that?’ That’s not to say I start rapping or anything like that.”
