The DY Patil Stadium, where Coldplay is scheduled to perform in January 2025, offered to host the band eight years ago.
Coldplay is set to rock Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium in January 2025, which will be their first return to India in eight years. Interestingly, the performance will take place almost eight years after the stadium first offered to host the Grammy-winning rock band. This remarkable coincidence is being called the ‘power of expression’ by some social media users who managed to find old tweets from the stadium inviting Coldplay to perform at the venue.
In May 2016, Navi Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium shared a tweet offering to host British rock band Coldplay. “Coldplay, we would love to host you at our stadium for a concert in Mumbai – India,” the stadium tweeted.
Although the 2016 Coldplay India concert didn’t take place at the DY Patil Stadium – it was instead held at the MMRDA grounds in Bandra – it looks like the venue’s dream of hosting the Grammy-winning band is about to come true.
X users were surprised at the coincidence after the old tweet resurfaced and went viral on the microblogging platform.
“This is a moment that has completely changed,” wrote user Samarth. Another person joked, “Should have learned the expression from DY Patil Stadium.”
X user Akshay called it the “power of expression”, while another user said it was the result of eight years of hard work.
