SINGAPORE – British Grammy-winners Coldplay will be performing their fourth gig in Singapore on April 1, 2017 at the National Stadium.
Tickets will go on sale through all Sportshubtix channels on Nov 21 at 10am, show promoter Live Nation Lushington said in a statement.
Seated ticket prices are going at $78, $128, $168 and $268, while standing tickets prices are $128 and $228. The standing tickets are available only to those aged 12 and above.
Limited VIP tickets costing $298 are also available.
Presale tickets are available for Citi card customers from Nov 17 at 10am to Nov 19 at 11.59pm, while Live Nation Lushington mailing list subscribers can purchase tickets one day early from 10am to 11.59pm on Nov 20.
This news comes after weeks of rumours about the band performing in Singapore. In a Nov 12 interview with The Straits Times about possible upcoming acts at the National Stadium, Singapore Sports Hub chief executive Manu Sawhney said that the venue was never meant to be “acoustic-focused”.
While he noted that sound issue is a global phenomenon at multi-purpose stadiums around the world, including England’s Wembley Stadium, Singapore Sports Hub has engaged experts to improve the sound quality at the venue.
The band, which has sold over 50 million albums worldwide, also announced the rest of its Asian line-up for its A Head Full Of Dreams world tour.
After Singapore, the British band will move on to Philippines, Taiwan, Korea, Japan in April. The tour will end in Australia and New Zealand in December.
Since March this year, the A Head Full Of Dreams Tour has played to 2.5 million people across Latin America, the US and Europe, while the eponymous album has sold more than 5 million copies since its Dec 2015 release.
Hit singles from the album include Adventure Of A Lifetime, Hymn For The Weekend and Up&Up, with more than a billion YouTube video views between them.
Coldplay’s last performance in Singapore was in 2009 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium where they performed to a sell-out crowd of more than 10,000.
