Coldplay’s India Tour Dates
The Music of the Spheres World Tour is Coldplay’s biggest concert series to date, and India is one of the major stops on their 2025 itinerary. The British band, known for its hit songs like “Yellow,” “Fix You,” and “Viva La Vida,” will perform at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on January 18, 19, and 21. Following their Mumbai performances, the band will head to Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad for a show on January 25. The Ahmedabad concert marks Coldplay’s return to India after their performance at the Global Citizen Festival in Mumbai in 2016.
This tour is set to be a spectacular event, with fans eagerly awaiting to experience Coldplay’s trademark mix of music, stunning visuals, and immersive soundscapes. The band’s last tour had taken them across the globe, and the 2025 India leg is expected to be one of the most talked-about events in the music scene.
Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson’s India Visit
Fans were thrilled to see Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson arrive together, sparking a wave of excitement on social media. Johnson, who is best known for her role in the Fifty Shades film series, has been a regular companion at Coldplay events, and her presence in India has been warmly welcomed by fans of both the band and the actress.
The couple’s visit comes as Coldplay prepares for the grand concerts, where their performances are expected to include a mix of their classic hits and newer material from their 2021 album, Music of the Spheres. As they gear up for the concerts, the duo took a moment to immerse themselves in the local culture, with both spotted enjoying the sights and sounds of Mumbai before the high-energy shows.
Child Safety Concerns and Official Notice in Ahmedabad
While Coldplay’s tour is expected to bring immense joy to fans, the District Child Protection Unit in Ahmedabad has issued an official notice ahead of the band’s performance at Narendra Modi Stadium. The notice, which specifically targets the use of children during the concert, has made headlines.
The unit has instructed that no children should be involved in the performance on stage, and that children entering the concert venue must be provided with earplugs or hearing protection. The concern arises due to the potentially high sound levels during the concert, which could exceed 120 decibels. Such loud noise, especially combined with the bright lights and visual effects typical of Coldplay’s shows, poses a potential health risk to young attendees, according to the notice.
The issue was brought to light after a complaint by Pandit Rao Dharnevar, an assistant professor from Chandigarh, who raised concerns about the harmful impact of loud music and intense lights on children’s physical and mental health. Dharnevar, who has previously filed similar complaints about other concerts, emphasized the need for safety precautions to protect children at large-scale events.
Previous Concerts in India: A Look Back
Coldplay’s previous visit to India during the Global Citizen Festival in 2016 was a milestone in the country’s music scene. The 2016 performance was part of the band’s global effort to raise awareness about poverty, education, and equality. This time around, Coldplay’s concerts are also expected to carry a message of unity and hope, something that resonates deeply with their Indian fans.
Anticipation for the Upcoming Shows
With the Music of the Spheres World Tour expected to be a grand spectacle, the anticipation for Coldplay’s concerts in Mumbai and Ahmedabad is palpable. Fans from across the country have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to witness the band perform live, and ticket sales for the upcoming shows have been through the roof.
Coldplay’s unique ability to create an atmosphere that is both intimate and large-scale, combined with their powerful performances and stunning visuals, makes them one of the most sought-after bands in the world. As their 2025 tour continues, it is clear that the band’s influence in the global music scene remains unparalleled.
Conclusion
With Coldplay’s arrival in Mumbai and their upcoming concerts in India, 2025 is already shaping up to be a big year for music lovers across the country. As Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson continue their tour journey, the anticipation for the band’s performances is at an all-time high. As Coldplay prepares to light up Mumbai and Ahmedabad, fans are looking forward to a series of unforgettable performances that will go down in Indian music history.
