The ticketing platform BookMyShow experienced a crash today, moments before tickets for Coldplay’s Mumbai concert were set to go on sale. Fans are eager to see the iconic British rock band as they bring their highly anticipated Music of the Spheres World Tour to India. Coldplay is scheduled to perform at D.Y. Patil Sports Stadium on January 18 and 19, 2025.
This will be Coldplay’s first concert in India in eight years, and the excitement is at an all-time high. The tour promises a memorable experience for fans, with a mix of new tracks from their Music of the Spheres album—such as “We Pray” and “feelslikeimfallinginlove”—as well as classic hits like “Yellow,” “Fix You,” and “Viva La Vida.” Spectacular visuals, including lasers, fireworks, and LED displays, will enhance the live performance.
