"The event would take place May 16, 17 and 19, with shows running from 5 to 10 p.m. and fireworks afterward, according to a report prepared by county Associate Planner Parya Seif. Stadium capacity will be expanded from the usual 50,000 to 58,000 for the concerts. On Monday (Nov. 10), the Santa Clara County Zoning Administration will consider granting Stanford an event permit."
"While Stanford Stadium hasn't traditionally hosted concerts, Coldplay headlined a pair of shows there May 31 and June 1. The shows could be heard throughout the city, given the stadium's location by El Camino Real, across the street from Palo Alto High School. The concert could also be heard in parts of Menlo Park. The Coldplay concerts included real-time noise monitoring, and the county required concert organizers to turn down the volume if it violated Santa Clara County noise ordinance, according to Seif."
Stanford plans three concerts on May 16, 17 and 19, 2026, with shows running 5 to 10 p.m. and fireworks after each show. Stadium capacity would be expanded from 50,000 to 58,000 for the events. The Santa Clara County Zoning Administration will consider an event permit on Nov. 10. Coldplay performed two stadium shows May 31 and June 1 that were audible across Palo Alto and parts of Menlo Park and used real-time noise monitoring. A pre-show assessment found music exceeded city noise limits in nearby Menlo Park areas. County planners consulted Palo Alto and recommended approval; fireworks beyond two annual displays require county permission.
