Tube strikes force 'sorry' Coldplay to reschedule final two Wembley Stadium concerts
"We're sorry to announce that, due to planned industrial action on the London Underground, we've been forced to reschedule our final two concerts of the current Wembley Stadium run. Without a Tube service, it's impossible to get 82,000 people to the concert and home again safely, and therefore no event licence can be granted for the nights of 7th and 8th September. To avoid cancelling the shows, our only option is to reschedule."
"Coldplay said tickets would remain valid for their rescheduled date, but any fans who are unable to attend their rescheduled show can get a full refund on their ticket from their point of purchase before noon on September 2. Returned tickets are to go on general sale at 11am on September 3 via Ticketmaster. The band confirmed shows on August 30, August 31, September 3 and September 4 will go ahead as scheduled."
"Some 10% of the band's proceeds from the Wembley shows will be donated to the Music Venue Trust to help support grassroots UK venues and upcoming artists. The shows at Wembley are being powered by 100% renewable energy with no generator use. Solar energy is fed into the grid through the band's new renewable energy and ecosystem restoration project, Higher Power Farm, in the west of England."
Shows on September 7 and 8 at Wembley Stadium were rescheduled to September 6 and September 12 because planned London Underground industrial action would make it impossible to transport 82,000 people safely and no event licence could be granted. Tickets remain valid for the rescheduled dates; fans unable to attend can obtain full refunds from their point of purchase before noon on September 2. Returned tickets will go on general sale via Ticketmaster at 11am on September 3. Performances on August 30, August 31, September 3 and September 4 will proceed as scheduled. Ten percent of Wembley proceeds will support the Music Venue Trust. The shows are powered by 100% renewable energy via the Higher Power Farm project.
