In a statement, Music Venue Trust CEO Mark Davyd said: “Coldplay are the perfect example of a UK band who came through the grassroots circuit on their way to worldwide, stadium-filling success. It’s fantastic to see them celebrating their own pathway to Wembley by giving back to the grassroots music venues that supported them and recognising the artists and promoters that are struggling more than ever to build their own careers.
“Through our partnership with Save Our Scene – who introduced us to Coldplay last year – this money will go directly into work that ensures communities right across the country will continue to have access to great live music on their doorstep. The band’s support really will stop venues closing, make tours happen and bring the joy of live music to thousands of people.”
Coldplay’s London dates will also benefit the environment: they promise that their Wembley Stadium shows will be the world’s first stadium shows powered by 100% solar, wind and kinetic energy. The B-stage at each show will also be powered by a kinetic dancefloor and power bikes available to the audience.
Announcing the new shows on Tuesday (17 September), Coldplay also revealed that 50% of tickets to the band’s first ever shows in Hull would go to local fans with the postcodes HU, YO, DN or LN, when they go on sale via Ticketmaster and Seetickets at 9am on Friday 27 September.
A pre-sale will be open to fans who order the band’s new album Moon Music from the official Coldplay UK or EU stores; those who have already pre-ordered the album from the UK or EU store will be automatically eligible. The pre-sale begins at 9am on Thursday 26 September.
