Christopher BarrettColdplay has announced details of further European and UK stadium shows, the morning after completing a six-show run at London’s Wembley Stadium (cap. 90,000) promoted by SJM Concerts, Metropolis and Live Nation.
The new shows, as part of the band’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour, in summer 2023 include the tour’s first visits to Portugal, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands, alongside UK shows in Manchester and Cardiff. The return UK dates will see the band play two shows at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium (31 May and 1 June), and a show at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on 6 June.
