Coldplay is bringing its “Music Of The Spheres World Tour” to India along with special guests on the lineup. The confirmed venue for the Mumbai shows is D.Y. Patil Stadium, while the Ahmedabad shows will be held at Narendra Modi Stadium.
In this post, we will discuss every aspect of this mega tour, from planning your trip to outfit ideas and everything in between. A post from a fellow fan for fans 😀
Let’s get into it, shall we?
So, How did it all start?
An official Coldplay India tour was long due. With many speculations over the years, The real hint dropped in the band’s Vancouver show.
Chris Martin, the band’s lead singer, hinted in 2023 at their Vancouver show that they could come to India in a year or two. Chris said, and we quote, “One day, we’re going to tour in India. We are so excited. Maybe in one or two years.”
Coldplay India 2025 Tickets
All the Coldplay tickets for the India tour have officially been sold out. The Indian leg did not have a pre-sale. The demand for general sale and infinity tickets was so high that the tickets got sold out within minutes of sale.
The tickets for Coldplay’s 2025 India tour went live on 16th November, 12:00 P.m. IST on Book My Show.
The reality is that a band of this caliber will be sold out even if they hold 10 more shows in a country like India. The tickets were soon available on a reselling platform Viagogo and the prices were pretty steep. Fans were both angry and made memes about the blunder that was caused while the booking windows were open.

Outfit Ideas for Coldplay India Shows
Coldplay’s India concerts in January fall during the winter! Here’s a breakdown to help you nail the perfect outfit while staying comfortable and ready for the magical night(s). We have covered a detailed guide on outfits to wear for a Coldplay Show, where you will find many more ideas. Check it out too!
The Mumbai Look
Mumbai’s January evenings are around a pleasant 20–25°C. It’s cool enough to layer lightly but far from chilly. And since you are going to be among a massive crowd and dance, you won’t feel the cold!
Start with a casual, breathable T-shirt or tank top—something you won’t mind sweating in after hours of dancing. Pair it with loose, airy bottoms like linen pants, cargo joggers, or even wide-legged jeans. Avoid thick or heavy fabrics that can feel suffocating in the city’s natural humidity.
For outerwear, a lightweight denim jacket or an oversized flannel shirt tied around your waist works wonders. These add style and can be thrown on if the evening breeze picks up. Sneakers are a must here—preferably ones with breathable mesh to keep your feet cool.
The Ahmedabad Look
Ahmedabad in January is cooler, with evenings dipping to 12–15°C. You’ll need a slightly warmer approach. Go for a long-sleeve T-shirt or a fitted thermal top as your base layer, paired with relaxed-fit jeans or comfortable chinos. Add a bomber jacket, a knitted cardigan, or even a puffer vest to stay cozy without overheating in the crowd.
Stick to closed-toe shoes—classic sneakers or ankle boots with cushioned insoles are ideal. Boots are especially practical if you’re attending an outdoor venue where the ground might be uneven.
Accessories That Matter
For both cities, keep accessories minimal and functional. A crossbody bag with secure compartments for your phone, wallet, and keys is perfect for navigating crowded areas. If you’re someone who loves standing out, consider adding glow-in-the-dark wristbands or a vibrant scarf that matches the colorful vibe of Coldplay’s shows.
What to Avoid
Restrictive Clothing: Skinny jeans or tight tops can become unbearable after a few hours.
Heels: They’ll ruin your experience and leave you sore before the concert ends.
Heavy Layers: Even if it’s cooler in Ahmedabad, skip thick coats. You’ll be moving and surrounded by a warm crowd.
Pro Tips
- Go for the color blue! Chris Martin usually rocks a blue shirt and you might wanna twin with him!
- Wearing a yellow top wear will be a good option too. you know why right?
- If you are going to propose to your significant other in the concert, make sure you have pockets in your outfit to keep the ring :p
Tips To Sort Your Hotels and Flights
Attending Coldplay’s concerts in Mumbai or Ahmedabad might mean booking hotels and flights, and securing the best deals can save you a lot of money. Here’s a practical guide to make it happen:
Finding Affordable Flights
- Book Early: Ticket prices tend to rise as the concert dates approach. Lock in your flights as soon as you finalize your plans.
- Use Price Tracking Tools: Platforms like Google Flights or Skyscanner let you set alerts for price drops on your preferred routes.
- Fly Midweek: Tuesdays and Wednesdays usually have cheaper fares compared to weekends.
- Consider Budget Airlines: If you’re traveling short distances, budget airlines often have great deals. Just check baggage allowances to avoid extra fees.
- Incognito Browsing: Use private browsing or clear cookies to prevent dynamic pricing from inflating fares based on your search history.
Securing Hotel Deals
- Book Directly: Many hotels offer discounts or perks like free breakfast when you book directly through their website instead of third-party platforms.
- Compare Rates: Use sites like Booking.com, Agoda, or Trivago to compare prices, but cross-check the hotel’s own site for exclusive offers.
- Stay Near Public Transport: Hotels slightly farther from the venue but near public transport can save you money without adding much travel hassle.
- Opt for Short Stays: If you’re arriving on the day of the concert and leaving the next day, book a single-night stay to cut costs.
- Consider Alternatives: Hostels, budget hotels, or serviced apartments often offer better value for groups or solo travelers.
Has Coldplay been to India before?
Coldplay as a band and Chris Martin solo have been to India multiple times. Let’s look at the timeline of their visits here:
Chris Martin with an Impromptu gig at a Delhi Cafe (2015)
In 2015, Delhiites got an unexpected treat when Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin performed an impromptu gig at the Summer House Cafe in Hauz Khas village. The singer was accompanied by music composer Vishal Dadlani, musician Raghu Dixit, and members of the comedy collective AIB.
As the story goes, Martin borrowed Raghu’s guitar and treated the small crowd to hits like “Paradise” and “Viva la Vida.” The event was spontaneous resulting in a memorable night for all the people present there.
Check the video below to get a glimpse of what went down that magical evening in Delhi 🙂

Coldplay shooting a music video in Mumbai (2015)
Following Chris Martin’s unexpected jam session in Delhi, it came as no surprise that the entire band had been in India to film a music video. Which later came out to be for their single “Hymn for the Weekend“.
The video includes a Holi sequence shot in the truly colorful Worli village. The video also features Beyonce and Sonam Kapoor.
First Coldplay performance in India – Global Citizen India Festival (2016)
In November 2016, Coldplay graced the stage at the Global Citizen Festival India. This was the band’s first-ever public performance in the country. The event, aimed at raising awareness and funds to combat poverty, witnessed a huge gathering of music lovers, activists, and philanthropists.
Coldplay’s performance was nothing short of magical. The British band delivered hits like “Fix You” and “Yellow” to newer tracks from their album “A Head Full of Dreams“.
What made the evening even more special was the band’s collaboration with A. R. Rahman. Chris Martin sang “Vande Mataram” and the crowd sang along.
Here is a glimpse of this special moment from the special evening.
Beyond the music, Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin used the platform to advocate for global issues. He urged the audience to take action against poverty, inequality, and climate change, reflecting the values of the Global Citizen movement.

The announcement of Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour in Asia sparked immense excitement among fans, leading to a rapid sell-out of tickets in several countries.
