Coldplay breaks Taylor Swift’s record with 10 concert dates at London’s Wembley Stadium

Coldplay have extended their residency at London’s Wembley Stadium to 10 shows, meaning they will surpass Taylor Swiftcurrent record.

Swift, 34, became the first solo artist to play Wembley eight times in a single tour, after bringing The Tour of the Ages to London this summer. Swift performed to sold-out crowds at the venue throughout June and August.

Coldplay – which presents Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Phil Harvey, Will Champion and Johnny Buckland – was initially scheduled to follow suit with the same number of shows in August 2025 on its Music of the Spheres go through. The band announced on Thursday, September 26th that they have added two more performances.

“Due to phenomenal pre-sale demand, the ninth and tenth shows at Wembley Stadium have just been announced, for September 7th and 8th, 2025,” read a statement from Instagram. “Pre-sales for these extra shows will begin at 2.30pm BST today for those with pre-sale access. Pre-sales for the first eight shows at Wembley have now ended. General sale of all UK shows will begin tomorrow at 9am BST.”

Of course, there is no bad blood between Coldplay and Swift. Martin, 47, frequently covered Swift’s hits during the summer leg of her band’s tour.

During the August 21 show in Vienna, Martin sang “Love Story” with the opening band Maggie Rogers as a tribute to Swift fans who couldn’t attend The Tour of the Ages due to a foiled terrorist plot. (Tour organizers canceled the shows days in advance after the threat was discovered. Swift returned to the stage later that month for her final five Wembley shows.)

“If this isn’t good, please don’t put it on YouTube because I don’t want to get in trouble with Taylor,” Martin joked on stage. “And if you could sing with us, that would be wonderful.”

In July, Martin dedicated his song “Everglow” to Swift in Germany. Swift performed in Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg and Munich that same month.

“This is for Taylor Swift because she left town,” he joked. “This is for all of you who are sad today because Taylor had to go to the next town. So we sang this love song, this heartbreak song, and sent it to Taylor wherever she is today.”

The feeling is mutual for Swift, who once credited Martin for her decision to join The Voice as a “mega-mentor” in 2014.

“I saw that Chris Martin had done it and Chris is one of my favorite singers in one of my favorite bands,” Swift said. AND! News at the moment. “So I looked into what he had done… and when NBC reached out to me, I thought you need to watch people and tell them if they’re good or bad and it’s not like that at all. It’s much more interesting and fun and freestyle than that. So I’m having a lot of fun!
