Coldplay have been forced to delay the final two Wembley concerts of their Music of the Spheres World Tour.
The band announced the news in a social media post where they apologised for any ‘disappointment’ or ‘frustration’ but explained Tube strikes had forced their hand.
‘We’re sorry to announce that, due to planned industrial action on the London Underground, we’ve been forced to reschedule our final two concerts of the current Wembley Stadium run,’ their statement read.
‘Without a Tube service, it’s impossible to get 82,000 people to the concert and home again safely, and therefore no event licence can be granted for the nights of 7th and 8th September.
‘To avoid cancelling the shows, our only option is to reschedule.’
The band confirmed the show on September 7 would now take place a day earlier on September 6, while the September 8 show would move to September 12.
They have also confirmed that tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled dates.
Coldplay also added that if you cannot attend the rescheduled show, then you can get a full refund from the point of purchase before 12 pm BST on September 2.
Returned tickets are expected to go on resale on September 3 via Ticketmaster.
The August 30, August 31, September 3 and September 4 shows will all go ahead as scheduled.
What did Metro make of Music of the Spheres?
Our own Rebecca Cook went down to Wembley to see what the fuss was about…
For all Coldplay’s theatrics, it’s the stripped-back moments from Music of the Spheres that I think I’ll remember best.
Like when Martin told everyone to put their phones in their pockets and the crowd actually obliged, leaving a sea of LED wristbands set to A Sea Full of Stars.
Or, when the quartet gathered in a tight circle, like when they first started making music together in a cramped Camden flat, to play a Parachutes deep cut.
Coldplay might have been around since the turn of the century, but they’re still the ticket everyone wants. Even those who have just been.

Music of the Spheres World Tour has grossed $1.38 billion in revenue from 12.3 million tickets, making it the most-attended tour of all time.
Forget the records the tour has broken, though; its real contribution to pop culture has been the kiss cam incident.
Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot were caught on kisscam on 16 July 2025, at Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium, an incident which went viral and subsequently exposed their affair.
