Coldplay Reschedules Wembley Stadium Shows Due to Tube Strikes
London, August 31, 2025 — Coldplay has announced the rescheduling of the final two shows in their record-breaking 10-night run at Wembley Stadium, citing safety concerns linked to planned London Underground strikes. The last-minute change has left thousands of fans scrambling to rearrange travel and accommodation plans.
Why Were the Shows Rescheduled?
A week-long Tube strike beginning September 5 will severely impact transport across London, making it “impossible to get 82,000 people to the concert and home again safely,” according to the band. Authorities said that without sufficient transport options, an event license for the original dates could not be secured (The Enthusiastic).
New Wembley Concert Dates
Originally September 7 → Now September 6 (Saturday)
Originally September 8 → Now September 12 (Friday)
Other shows on August 30, August 31, September 3, and September 4 will proceed as scheduled (Sky News).
Ticketing & Refunds
Valid Tickets: Existing tickets remain valid for the new dates.
Refunds: Fans who cannot attend the rescheduled concerts may request a full refund by noon, September 2, through their original point of purchase.
Resale: Returned tickets will be placed on general sale via Ticketmaster from September 3 at 11 am.
Fans React with Frustration
Many fans expressed anger online after the late announcement, citing expensive rebookings and non-refundable costs:
“Train tickets to go on the Monday £300, new tickets to go on the Friday £610 — what a nightmare.”
“We were coming from Ireland … have had to cancel now and lose the cost of the flights.”
“Absolute deception. You can’t give such short notice.” (The Sun)
Coldplay’s Statement
The band apologized for the disruption, stressing the situation was beyond their control:
“To avoid cancelling the shows, our only option is to reschedule.”
Coldplay added that their priority remained fan safety and ensuring the concerts go ahead under secure conditions.
