When the tickets for the Coldplay concerts in India dropped in November 2024, they sold out in a flash! Which goes to show just how popular the band is in India.

While BookMyShow had priced Coldplay tickets between Rs 2,000 and Rs 35,000, they were selling for over Rs 1,00,000 in the black market.

A second batch of tickets, released in January 2025, left fans buzzing.

The concerts -- whose opening acts will feature French hip-hop artist Shone, Palestinian singer Elyanna and India's own Jasleen Royal -- has a song line-up that includes hits like Viva La Vida, A Sky Full of Stars, Fix You and Something Just Like This.

Get ready for an unforgettable night of music, epic vibes and insane visuals.
