In a highly anticipated event, Coldplay fans in India were left disappointed as ticketing platform BookMyShow crashed just seconds before ticket sales began for the band’s Mumbai concerts. The British rock band will be performing at the DY Patil Sports Stadium on January 18 and 19, 2025, as part of their global “Music Of The Spheres World Tour.”
This will mark Coldplay’s return to India after an eight-year break, and the buzz surrounding their performance has been electrifying. Fans have been eagerly waiting to secure their spots, but the overwhelming demand seemed too much for the BookMyShow servers to handle. The platform’s sudden crash caused a flurry of frustration online as fans scrambled to refresh the site, hoping to snag tickets.

Coldplay’s upcoming concert promises to be an extraordinary experience. The event will feature an array of visual spectacles, including lasers, fireworks, and LED displays. The setlist will combine fan favorites like “Yellow,” “Fix You,” and “Viva La Vida” with new tracks from their latest album, “Music of the Spheres,” including the singles “We Pray” and “feelslikeimfallinginlove.”
This is Coldplay’s second performance in India, following their celebrated 2016 appearance at the Global Citizen Festival in Mumbai. The band, known for its stunning live shows, has continued to be a global phenomenon, and their latest tour has already sold over 10 million tickets worldwide. Upcoming shows are scheduled for cities like Abu Dhabi, Seoul, and Hong Kong.

The excitement surrounding the concerts in India has been palpable. Event promoters are confident that this will be a standout moment in the country’s live music scene, offering fans a chance to witness Coldplay’s magic firsthand after almost a decade.
Adding to the hype is Coldplay’s forthcoming album, Moon Music, slated for release on October 4, 2024. The album is aimed at setting new sustainability standards in the music industry, with vinyl records made entirely from recycled plastic. Speaking on the new project, lead vocalist Chris Martin said, “Maybe love is the best response” to global conflicts, hinting at the album’s deeper message.
As Coldplay prepares to perform in India once again, fans are eagerly awaiting what promises to be an unforgettable event. The band, formed in 1997 and composed of Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, and Will Champion, has captivated audiences worldwide with hits like “A Sky Full of Stars,” “Don’t Panic,” and “In My Place.”
For fans trying to secure tickets, the crash of BookMyShow was an unexpected roadblock, but the excitement for the concert remains at an all-time high. As the platform works to resolve the issue, fans remain hopeful of experiencing Coldplay live in Mumbai.
