Two separate sources told the Post on Tuesday that ticket sales would launch around the start of 2025.

The concert series is one of the first major events lined up for the stadium, which is part of a HK$30 billion (US$3.8 billion) project expected to open during the first quarter next year.

“Coldplay’s concerts will be among the mega events by global performers held in Kai Tak because of its 50,000-seat facility,” the first source said.

The wider site includes the main stadium, an indoor sports centre and a public sports ground, among other facilities. The stadium can operate at a maximum capacity of 65,000 people.

Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu on Sunday highlighted the importance of the stadium as the city’s largest and newest destination for sports, dining and shopping, and entertainment.

He instructed authorities to be well-prepared for its opening in the first quarter of next year, with the launch to feature local pop stars and athletes.
