Coldplay, one of the world’s most iconic and successful rock bands, will perform in South Korea next April, marking their long-awaited return after eight years.

 

This highly anticipated event is poised to be the largest concert by an international artist ever held in Korea.

 

Coldplay, comprising Chris Martin (vocals, piano), Jonny Buckland (guitar), Guy Berryman (bass), and Will Champion (drums), has sold over 100 million albums globally across their nine studio releases.

The band will host a series of four performances on April 16, 18, 19, and 22 at Goyang Stadium in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.

 

These concerts are part of Coldplay's ongoing "Music of the Spheres" world tour, and Korea will serve as the grand finale of their Asia leg, following shows in Abu Dhabi (UAE), Mumbai (India), and Hong Kong.

 

Coldplay’s previous visit to Korea was in April 2017 during their "A Head Full of Dreams" world tour, where they delivered two sold-out performances at Seoul's Jamsil Olympic Stadium.

 

That historic concert drew an unprecedented crowd of 100,000 fans over two nights.

 

During the event, the band made headlines by performing a special “South Korea Song” in response to the crowd’s enthusiastic sing-along of their hit “Viva La Vida,” and frontman Chris Martin touched the hearts of many when he kneeled and kissed the Korean flag (Taegukgi) on stage.

With the upcoming concerts scheduled for Goyang Stadium, Coldplay is expected to make history again.

 

Should all standing tickets sell out, the band is projected to draw a staggering 200,000 fans across the four shows, setting a new record for the largest audience at a concert in Korea.

 

In addition to the anticipation of their monumental return, fans are speculating whether Coldplay might welcome a special guest appearance by BTS.

 

The two musical powerhouses collaborated on the chart-topping single "My Universe," which they performed together at the American Music Awards.

 

BTS member Jin also made a surprise appearance at Coldplay’s concert in Argentina before his military enlistment, underscoring the strong bond between the two groups. As a result, many are hoping for a memorable on-stage reunion.

Coldplay's return to Korea marks not just a concert, but a significant cultural event that will likely be remembered for years to come.

 

Their deep connection with Korean fans, coupled with their global appeal and record-breaking performances, makes this tour stop one of the most highly anticipated music events of 2024.
