British rock band Coldplay on Sunday added a third show to the Mumbai leg of its Music Of The Spheres World Tour 2025 citing "phenomenal demand".
The update comes hours after fans expressed disappointment over long virtual queues on ticketing sites. "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.
The new show will reportedly be held on January 21. According to reports, the server of the ticketing site crashed as soon as it opened for the ticket sales. Several fans shared screenshots of their frozen computer screens and smartphones with the app experiencing a lot of traffic.
According to reports, the sale for the tickets of the two shows on January 18 and 19, 2025, was supposed to open at 12 noon. Many said the tickets remained unavailable for booking well over 12.15 pm.
In less than an hour, the server got back up and BookMyShow shared a message of facing "heavy traffic" on every account trying to book a ticket, with the wait list going as high as 842,745. "Because of heavy traffic, queue is moving slower than expected. Thank you for your patience!" read a message on the platform.
The Mumbai concert will mark Coldplay's first visit to India in eight years. The Grammy-winning band previously performed in Mumbai as part of the Global Citizen Festival back in 2016.
'Music Of The Spheres World Tour 2025' will commence on October 30 at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia, and will conclude on August 31, 2025, with a show at the Wembley Stadium in London, the UK.
