Coldplay announce second Cardiff show after incredible demand for tickets

Coldplay have confirmed a second Cardiff show for their Music of the Spheres tour following huge demand.

The chart-topping indie band have also added a third Manchester date to their world tour line after huge virtual queues on Ticketmaster this morning.

Tickets for the Cardiff and Manchester shows of Coldplay's Music of the Spheres tour, which will take place in 2023, went on sale at 10am this morning (August 25) and more than 312,000 fans joined a queue for the Cardiff, June 6 show alone.

Due to the overwhelming demand for tickets, the critically acclaimed band have decided to add a second Cardiff show to their 2023 performances on June 7 at the Principality Stadium and a third Manchester show on June 3.

Tickets are currently still available as fans join queues on Ticketmaster, See Tickets and The Ticket Factory.

Coldplay announced extra dates for their Music of the Spheres tour on Monday, August 22 after completing a six-night run at London's Wembley Stadium.

Frontman Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, drummer Will Champion and creative director Phil Harvey will perform three shows in Manchester and two nights in Cardiff as part of the tour.

The band are expected to play at Manchester's Etihad Stadium for three nights on May 31, June 1, and June 3 before heading to Cardiff's Principality Stadium on June 6 and June 7.
