Coldplay tease 2025 UK stadium shows and a hefty donation to the Music Venue Trust
Shows in London and Hull look on the horizon...

Coldplay have seemingly teased a run of stadium shows for summer 2025, with 10 percent of all the band’s proceeds going to the Music Venue Trust.
New dates at Wembley Stadium and Hull’s Craven Park have been teased with a series of retro posters at North London’s Dublin Castle, where the group played their very first gig in 1998 as ‘The Coldplay’.
The posters appear to be advertising that very historic show, but with new handwritten notes included. As well as reflecting their forthcoming album Moon Music, the notes state that the band will play shows in Hull and London which are 100 per cent solar, wind and kinetically powered. In addition, they’ll be in support of the Music Venue Trust with 10 per cent of all proceeds going to “small venues and upcoming acts”.
A video shared to Coldplay’s Instagram stories showed the posters throughout the venue, while Music Venue Trust COO Beverley Whitrick took to social media to highlight “the coolest poster”.
The group’s eco credentials have long been praised, with their recent Music Of The Spheres tour producing 59 per cent less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour in 2016 and 2017.
It was also revealed that 7million trees have been planted globally as a result of the success of the live shows.
The group’s latest album Moon Music arrives on October 4 and has been teased with the singles ‘feelslikeimfallinginlove‘ and ‘We Pray‘ – a duet with Burna Boy and Little Simz.
The album may end up being Coldplay’s last, after singer Chris Martin previously said that the band would stop making music in 2025.
“Well I know I can tell you: our last proper record will come out in 2025 and after that I think we will only tour,” Martin said during a 2021 interview with Jo Wiley. “Maybe we’ll do some collaborative things but the Coldplay catalogue, as it were, finishes then.”
