We’re very sorry for the inevitable inconvenience caused by moving our 19 Aug Wembley date to 21 Aug.
The concert could not be licensed with no Tube service, so choice was cancel or reschedule to 21 Aug. Full ticket refunds are available. Again, sincere apologies. Phil Harvey https://t.co/BfHy6f2dlU

A statement issued by the band reads, “Due to planned industrial action on the London Underground network, Coldplay’s Wembley Stadium concert on Friday 19 August 2022 has had to be rescheduled for Sunday 21 August 2022. We have been informed that there will be insufficient transport for ticket holders on August 19 so, with regret, the event cannot be licensed for that day.”

The statement continues to confirm further details, “All tickets for Friday 19 August will remain valid for Sunday 21 August. Any ticketholders who are unable to attend the rescheduled show can get a full refund on their ticket and are requested to contact their point of purchase before 18:00 on Wednesday 10 August 2022.”

The “Yellow” hitmakers’ tour schedule also includes two further gigs at Wembley Stadium, on 13th and 20th August 2022 they will take to the famed venue to perform to a sold out audience. Although the dates also coincide with the planned tube strike, the band have reassured fans that they will go ahead but still urge ticketholders to check before travelling.

Fellow British group London Grammar are currently billed to support Coldplay on selected dates of their tour, the trio are set to open for Coldplay on 16th and 19th August 2022 at Wembley Stadium. The “Californian Soil” group have also joined Coldplay for some of their European shows, one particular set caught the attention of music fans. On Sunday 10th July 2022, London Grammar bandmember Hannah Reid joined the headliners on stage for a special duet of the Selena Gomez hit “Let Somebody Go”.

Reid recently spoke with BANG Showbiz concerning the show, “It sounds really cheesy but it really is a dream come true. One of the first CDs I bought was Coldplay when I was 10 years old so my 10-year-old self just can’t believe that we’re getting to support not only the biggest and best band in the world but the band who are probably the reason that I sing. There are obviously lots of singers who have influenced me but I just remember learning some of their songs on the piano and so for me it was like a really big deal.“

Coldplay are currently concluding the European leg of their Music Of The Spheres World Tour, they will next appear at Brussels’ King Baudouin Stadium for a string of performances. The Grammy Award Winning band’s residency at the Belgium venue begins on 5th August 2022 and will consist of three more sets. After their group’s series of six performances at Wembley Stadium, they will perform on 23rd and 24th August 2022 at Glasgow’s Hampden Park Stadium.

This is not the first time the 2001 classic pop hit has been reimagined on stage, three years ago Coldplay and Minogue treated Glastonbury to a now legendary duet. The set took place in 2019 and has been named the most watched Glastonbury performance. Minogue was billed to play the coveted Sunday teatime slot on the Pyramid Stage known as the Legends’ slot, during the set she was joined by Coldplay and both acts performed an acoustic cover of “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head”.

The next performance at the New Jersey venue also saw Coldplay duet with another highly influential musician, during the set on Sunday 5th June 2022, the band shared the stage with New Jersey’s hometown hero Bruce Springsteen. The live partnership included such tracks as Springsteen’s classic hit “Dancing In The Dark” and the 2009 single “Working On A Dream”. During the once in the lifetime concert, Springsteen spoke to the crowd concerning frontman Chris Martin’s relationship with “Working On A Dream”, he stated, “Chris said he had this song tattooed on his arm for a while, so I guess I’ve got to sing it with him.”

Both sets were part of the “Yellow” hitmakers’ Music Of The Spheres world tour, the group embarked on the tour in support of their ninth studio album Music of the spheres. The tour began this spring with the first performance taking place on 18th March 2022 at Costa Rica’s Estadio Nacional. The band are currently finishing the tour’s US leg and will perform a set in Florida on 14th June 2022. The European leg of the global tour begins on 2nd July 2022 with a set in Germany, after over fifteen European performances Coldplay will play a whopping seven dates at London’s Wembley Stadium.

The band’s ongoing global tour has promised to operate in an environmentally conscious fashion, the tour plans to reduce its emissions by half in comparison to their prior concert series. The multiple Brit award winners recently announced the supporting acts for the UK and European dates of the tour, H.E.R. and London Grammar were confirmed to play alternate dates with Griff and Laura Mvula also now added to the roster.

The batteries will replace diesel and gas generators which makes the shows more sustainable. The band shows will need 40 of those batteries in total. “A common awareness of sustainability has led during recent years to an intensive, creative co-creation process between BMW and Coldplay. With the use of second-life batteries from BMW i3 vehicles we are now helping Coldplay’s world tour become even more sustainable.” said Jens Thiemer, Senior Vice President Customer and Brand BMW. 

Coldplay is no stranger to pointing out environmental issues and how we all can “turn it around so it’s no so much taking as giving?“. Back in 2019, the band announced that they thinking about how to make the touring as environmentally friendly as possible. Speaking to BBC News reporter Chris Martin said: “We’re taking time to see how our tour can be actively beneficial…All of us have to work out the best way of doing our job.”

“Our next tour will be the best possible version of a tour like that environmentally. We would be disappointed if it’s not carbon neutral” he continued.

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) recently sent an open letter to the band suggesting plant-based food served at their shows. All this is in order to put down carbon footprint.

Elisa Allen, the director of PETA wrote: “As you may know, animal agriculture contributes to many of the serious environmental problems the planet is facing”.

“It’s little wonder, then, that the United Nations states that a transition to vegan eating is urgently needed to prevent the worst effects of the climate crisis. And this can be as simple as swapping beef burgers for bean burgers” she added.

Last week Coldplay has announced their tour dates which will promote their latest album Music Of The Spheres that came out on 15th October. It is being said that the album will be their ninth number one in the UK Charts.
