WHAT TO WEAR TO A COLDPLAY CONCERT
By Ayis Stephen-Diver, 1 August 2025
If you somehow snagged a ticket for Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres world tour, we salute you. Their 10-show residency at Wembley Stadium marks the end of a three-year journey around the globe, but we know the final shows will still be as unforgettable as the first. Whichever date you’re attending during the August/September leg, you can expect epic sounds, collective joy and Chris Martin wearing some sort of graphic T-shirt. If you're still figuring out what to wear to a Coldplay concert, why not start by matching your 'fit to your favourite song – we've got some ideas...
IF 'PARADISE' IS YOUR FAVOURITE SONG
Merch shirts often make a better novelty than fashion statement, but a Chris Martin-approved blue tee is a subtle way to flaunt your Coldplay status. adidas has cemented navy as a key shade to know as we transition between seasons, and the iconic ringer neckline and three-stripe detail give this top just the right dose of nostalgia. Staying comfy while you dance, sing and sob (because tears are inevitable) is all part of the casual-cool concert playbook, which means oversized cargos, shorts, statement trainers and sunnies fit the dress code, too,

IF 'VIVA LA VIDA' IS YOUR FAVOURITE SONG
Thanks to Moon Music, Music of the Spheres and a slew of music video visuals, it’s hard not to associate Coldplay with the sky. But if you’ve been here since Viva La Vida, you’d know they had a romantic era, too. Petticoats aren’t exactly easy to find or practical in a concert setting, but boho chic is the next best thing. Tap into the trend with help from flowy maxi skirts, ruffle details, retro prints and neutral tones. Pro tip: blending boho with western pieces is the move right now, so toss in some tassels while you’re building your look.

IF 'SKY FULL OF STARS' IS YOUR FAVOURITE SONG
Wearing starry motifs to a planet-themed gig might seem a little too on-the-nose, but nothing’s off the cards when your favourite artists are in town – the Cowboy Carter tour taught us that. Make like the Sky Full of Stars music video with vibrant pops of colour – we’re going for yellow jorts – and some versatile essentials. This tank top’s star graphic and the Converse logo are a slick little detail. Bring a denim jacket for the journey home – you’ll thank us later.

Whether you’re a Coldplay ultrafan or a casual listener, there’s a 9 out of 10 chance that Fix You is among your top 10 ballads of all time. To complement the raw lyrics about self-love and grief, keep your ‘fit simple and similarly bare. While we’re anchoring this look on the smart trousers – which can double as an office-day staple too – the halter top and shirt are totally customisable. Boat necks, crew necks and tank tops in minimalist shades like black, grey and white will look just as chic underneath the blue dad shirt.
