Coldplay at Wembley Stadium: timings, set list, last-minute tickets and everything you need to know
Still, this level of pomp is needed to wave goodbye to their mammoth 'Music for the Spheres' world tour, which has been going on since early 2022. Any child born when this tour began is going to school next year. That's the sort of scale we're talking about.
If anyone could do it, though, it would be the band who have been turning out hits like it's nothing since the year 2000. Over the course of their upcoming Wembley gigs, nearly one million people will be treated to their signature showmanship.
Getting excited already? Of course you are. There are just a few things you need to know before heading to see Coldplay at Wembley Stadium this week – here's all the info you might need.
When are Coldplay playing Wembley Stadium?
Coldplay will be setting up in Wembley for their first night on Friday, August 22. From there, they will play: August 23, 26, 27, 30, 31, and September 3, 4, 7, and 8. That's a lot of Coldplay.
What time do doors open?
Doors will open at Wembley at 5pm, with the first support act starting at 6pm.
What time will Coldplay come on stage?
We don't know exactly when Coldplay will take to the stage, however we can assume it will be between 8-8.30pm based on recent shows in the US and the local curfew for Wembley, which is 10.30pm. Given that their sets are usually around 2 hours, the latest the band could begin would be 8.30pm.
What's the seating plan?
Here's the seating plan for all 10 of Coldplay's Wembley dates:

Coldplay Wembley seating plan: best seats and capacity for London shows
Coldplay are set for a record breaking 10 nights at Wembley Stadium over the next few weeks (August 22-September 8). The band are waving goodbye to their equally huge, three year long Music of the Spheres world tour, so these gigs are not to be missed. If you've already got your tickets but haven't yet been able to figure out exactly where you'll be in relation to the band, don't fear. We've got the seating plan for all 10 shows right here, so that you can make an educated decision about whether or not you need your glasses. If you don't have tickets, then tough luck sadly – these concerts have been sold out for months. Here's everything you need to know about getting Wembley's seating plan and capacity for Coldplay's upcoming Music of the Spheres shows. What's the Coldplay Wembley Stadium seating plan? Here's what the venue will look like for Coldplay's Wembley shows, with seated ticket blocks and the main general stalls area on the pitch. Chris and co put on a proper show with lights, pyrotechnics, and a now-infamous jumbotron, so there's no bad seats in the house. However, if you do want to know what your view will be like, you can have a look at Wembley's views from each seat here. What's Wembley Stadium's capacity? Wembley is the second biggest stadium in Europe, with a capacity of around 90,000 people for shows of this size. Of course, Coldplay have sold that out 10 times over, meaning that more than 900,000 people will see the band over the course of their Wembley dates. That's a decent percentage of London's total population. Not too shabby, eh?

fought back tears as a Chinese superfan travelled 5000 miles to watch Coldplay in Hull, joining him on stage for an unforgettable duet. Raymond, from Chengdu in China caught Martin's eye after he saw a media article about his long journey to Hull to see the band perform at Craven Park on Tuesday (19 August). Martin told the crowd: 'Normally when I pick someone from the audience I've never met them before, but last night on the internet I read your story which said you flew from China to Hull. 'You're the bravest fan I've ever seen.' Raymond was delighted and embraced the lead singer, who appeared to wipe away tears after they performed a song together.
