British rock band Coldplay is planning to play a concert in Kaohsiung in November as part of the Asian and Australian leg of its Music of the Spheres World Tour, Live Nation Taiwan said on Monday.
The show would take place at Kaohsiung National Stadium at 7:30pm on Nov. 11, following two concerts in Tokyo the week before, the organizers said.
It would be the band’s first concert in Kaohsiung and the second time that its tours stop in Taiwan, after two concerts in Taoyuan in 2017.
Coldplay’s world tour seeks to be sustainable and low-carbon, with kinetic dance floors installed at venues and stationary bikes that allow fans to contribute to the concerts’ power needs, the band says on its Web site.
Formed in 1996, Coldplay is vocalist and pianist Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, drummer Will Champion and creative director Phil Harvey.
In 2000, Coldplay released its debut album Parachutes, which featured the breakthrough single Yellow, and won a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 2002.
Live Nation said that since the tour’s first date in March last year, the band has sold more tickets than any other artist in the world, receiving rave reviews from fans and picking up accolades including Favorite Touring Artist at last year’s American Music Awards and Tour of The Year at this year’s iHeartRadio Awards.
For the concert in Kaohsiung, tickets can be preordered by Live Nation members from 12pm to 23:59pm on Wednesday next week on the event management agency’s Web site, and the remaining tickets would become available to the public the next day at noon on the Ticketmaster Web site.
Live Nation wrote on Facebook that ticket prices and a seating map would be released soon.
Coldplay is also to perform in Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and Perth, Australia.
