Set your clocks for Coldplay's Australian-exclusive in Perth

Coldplay will paint Perth 'yellow' when the world-famous band descends on Perth for an Australian-exclusive concert at Optus Stadium.

Fans from around the nation and overseas will be able to see Coldplay play in Perth, and only in Perth, for the first time in 14 years after the WA Government, through Tourism WA, signed a deal with Live Nation.

The 'Music of The Spheres World Tour' event will take place on Saturday, 18 November at award-winning Optus Stadium and will be the band's first show at the iconic venue, recognised as one of the world's most beautiful stadiums.

The performance will be the only Australian Coldplay show in 2023 as part of the Asia leg of the tour and is expected to drive thousands of international and interstate visitors to Western Australia.

The exclusive performance will be promoted nationally and in key international markets alongside travel packages designed to encourage visitors to stay longer and explore further.

Tickets are expected to sell at the speed of sound, with the Live Nation pre-sale commencing at 10am AWST on Monday 15 May, running until 9am AWST on Tuesday 16 May.  

General public tickets go on sale at 10am AWST on Tuesday 16 May at livenation.com.au and coldplay.com/tour.
