Written by djfrosty on July 20, 2023
Coldplay recently marched into Billboard Boxscore history when they followed the Rolling Stones to become the second artist to score a half-billion double-up in the top 10 of all-time highest-grossing tours when they crossed the $500 million mark on their ongoing Music of the Spheres world tour. The massive outing that is in its second year has passed the $550 million plateau and they’re not done yet.
On Thursday (July 20) the Chris Martin-led band announced that they will follow-up their sold-out summer 2023 European stadium dates — which wrapped up on Wednesday night with a fourth gig in Amsterdam — with a third round of European shows in June, July and August of 2024. According to a release, the latest round of dates will include their first-ever shows in Greece, Romania and Finland and their first gigs in Rome since 2003 and Budapest since 2008.
The eye-popping spectacle that includes a number of forward-thinking green initiatives kicked off in March 2022 in Costa Rica, and, according to the release, has sold more than 7.5 million tickets to date. Fans can register for first access to the presale for the new shows beginning on Tuesday (July 25) here now.
The presale will being at 9 a.m. local time in Athens, Bucharest, Budapest, Lyon, Rome and Helsinki and at 10 a.m. local time in Dusseldorf, Munich, Vienna and Dublin; the general on-sale will kick off at 10 a.m. local time for all the cities on July 28. The Music of the Spheres tour will pick up again with run of North American dates in September and October, followed by November shows in Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, Australia and Malaysia before moving on to Manila and Singapore in January 2024 and Bangkok in February.
