Coldplay add four new dates to Australian tour due to popular demand

British rock band Coldplay have announced extra concert dates for their upcoming Australian tour due to overwhelming demand.

The British rockers will play an additional four shows across Sydney and Melbourne for their Music of the Spheres World Tour, Live Nation Australia confirmed.

‘A limited number of additional tickets have just been released and are on sale NOW for Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour shows in Melbourne and Sydney!’ they wrote, alongside a photo of frontman Chris Martin performing.

The Yellow hitmakers will first perform at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on 30 and 31 October, and an additional two new shows there on the second and third of November.

They will then head to Sydney to perform four concerts at Accor Stadium, on November 6, 7, 9 and 10, before flying out to Auckland, New Zealand for three shows.

All up, they will be performing eleven shows across Australia and New Zealand from next month, a far cry from the two shows they played in Perth last year. 

The rockers will be supported by Nigerian performer Ayra Starr and hip-hop artist Shone on the stage for the two-hour show.

Thrilled Australian fans who missed out the first time took to social media to express their delight at finally scoring a ticket.

‘Yessss,’ wrote one fan and a second person added: ‘Got mine’.

Coldplay fans had been promised a ‘spectacular show’ which will be ‘bursting with lasers, fireworks and LED wristbands’.

Last year, the beloved group performed two very special shows in Perth at Optus Stadium on the 18th and 19th of November.

Both concerts were sold out – with 120,000 tickets sold and the band looking at a return of around $22million. 

Coldplay formed in London in 1997 and have become one of the UK’s biggest bands since 2000, due to the unique brand of melancholic catchy post-Brit pop music.
