Post learns ticket sales for concert at 50,000-seat mega stadium at Kai Tak Sports Park to launch around start of 2025
Coldplay are set to perform in Hong Kong early next year, with the British rock band to be among the first to play at the soon-to-open, 50,000-seat mega stadium at Kai Tak Sports Park, the Post has learned.
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.
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.
