YOGYAKARTA - Coldplay will perform in Singapore for five days. The addition of the concert schedule from the beginning of 4 days to 5 days caused irritation for Coldplay lovers in Indonesia. Many Indonesian music lovers asked why Coldplay added a concert schedule in Singapore?

Singapore became one of the destination countries in a series of Coldplay concert tours titled Music of the Spheres World Tour. The English band will entertain the Lion nationals at the Singapore National Stadium on 23, 26, 27, and January 30, 2024.

Coldplay's performance schedule, which is far from holding concerts in Indonesia, is certainly quite surprising. In Indonesia, Chris Martin et al will only perform one day on November 15, 2023. Many Coldplay fans have complained about the news and wondered why Coldplay added to the concert schedule in Singapore.

Coldplay concert promoter in Singapore, Live Nation, revealed the reasons for adding Coldplay's gig schedule in the country. The promoter said the additional schedule was due to high demand from the audience.

The high enthusiasm of Coldplay viewers in Singapore has been seen since the sale of presale tickets opened on Monday (19/6/2023). More than 800 thousand accounts are scrambling to enter the presale ticket sales site. Just like the Coldplay concert ticket war in Indonesia, prospective buyers have to queue for so long to get tickets.

To facilitate the desire of Coldplay fans to see and hear the appearance of their idols, the promoter also added the concert schedule from 4 days to 5 days.

"All presale tickets for the Coldplay Music Of The Spheres World Tour performance on 23, 24, 26, and 27, have been sold out!" wrote Live Nation via its social media account on Monday, June 16.

Coldplay presale ticket sales in Singapore sold out in an instant. All tickets have been sold out in less than five hours since the presale opening. The fifth day of ticket sales opened on Tuesday, June 20, along with public ticket sales for concerts on the previous four days.

"General sale for five events will start on 10 SGT (9.00 WIB) tomorrow, June 20," Coldplay wrote.

Purchase of general tickets for Coldplay concerts in Singapore is done online through official websites and hotlines. Spectators can also get tickets through post offices in Singapore (SingPost).

Apart from Indonesia and Singapore, Coldplay will also perform in Japan, Malaysia and Taiwan. Chris Martin and the Coldplay players also added the schedule for the Taiwan concert from 1 day to two days. Coldplay will appear in Taiwan on November 11 and 12, 2023 at the Kaohsiung National Stadium.

Meanwhile in Japan, Coldplay's concert was held for two days, namely November 6 and 7. Malaysia experienced the same fate as Indonesia, only being entertained by Coldplay for one day, namely on November 22.

From a number of countries in Asia that Coldplay visited, Singapore received the most concert schedules. Coldplay fans in Indonesia who do not get concert tickets at GBK still have the opportunity to sing a long time and dance with Chris Martin in neighboring countries.

That's why Coldplay added to the concert schedule in Singapore. Previously, music lovers in Indonesia also hoped Coldplay would add concert days in Jakarta. However, until now there is still no further information and certainty regarding the addition of Coldplay's concert schedule in Indonesia.
