Adding a third event to their Music of the Spheres World Tour 2025, Coldplay on Sunday mentioned “phenomenal demand” just hours after fans became frustrated with lengthy virtual lines on the online ticketing site BookMyShow. Karan Johar hinted on Instagram Stories on Sunday night that he, too, was unsuccessful in obtaining tickets for the British rock band’s impending concerts in Mumbai in January 2025.

The DY Patil Sports Stadium in Mumbai will host the new concert on January 21. Tickets for it went on sale at 2 PM on BookMyShow. After only a few hours, Karan posted “You can’t have everything you want, my darling… you can’t get everything you want, dear privilege. I love that Coldplay and the mini Kelly always keep you grounded.” Many thanks… frugal.”

Owing to overwhelming demand, DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai has added a third date for January 21, 2025. Tickets go on sale today at 2 PM IST,” Coldplay announced on X, with a purchasing link. The British band’s 2019 tour dates were going to go on sale on Sunday, when the BookMyShow website and app crashed, according to sources. The hashtags “Crashed,” “BookMyShow,” and “Coldplay” quickly became popular on X.

Two concerts by Coldplay at the DY Patil Sports Stadium on January 18 and 19, 2025, have already been announced. Many users posted images of their smartphones and computer screens that were frozen when the software was overloaded.

The ticket sales for the two performances at Mumbai’s DY Patil Sports Stadium on January 18 and 19, 2025, were scheduled to begin at midday, according to BookMyShow. Many reported that bookings for the tickets were still being accepted until past 12:15 p.m. A representative at BookMyShow referred to it as a “landmark moment” in the history of live entertainment in India, citing the extraordinary enthusiasm, unwavering devotion, and genuine passion for Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour 2025 in India
