Coldplay added a third show to the Mumbai leg of its “Music Of The Spheres World Tour 2025”.
British rock band Coldplay on Sunday (September 22, 2024) added a third show to the Mumbai leg of its "Music Of The Spheres World Tour 2025" citing "phenomenal demand", hours after fans expressed disappointment over long virtual queues on the online ticket platform BookMyShow.
The tickets for the new show, set to be held on January 21 at Mumbai's DY Patil Sports Stadium, will go live at 2 pm on BookMyShow.
"Due to phenomenal demand, a third Mumbai date has been added at DY Patil Stadium for 21 January, 2025. Tickets on sale at 2PM IST today," Coldplay said in an X post, alongside the booking link.
According to reports, the server of BookMyShow website and app on Sunday crashed as it opened the sale for the British band's concerts scheduled for next year.
Soon, hashtags 'Coldplay', 'BookMyShow', and 'Crashed' started trending on X.
Coldplay had already announced two shows on January 18 and 19, 2025, at the DY Patil Sports Stadium.
Several fans shared screenshots of their frozen computer screens and smartphones with the app experiencing a lot of traffic.

In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
