After much speculation circling social media over the past week, British rock band Coldplay have this morning confirmed they will perform in Bangkok on Apr 7, 2017, as part of their Head Full of Dreams tour. 

Ever since the band announced they would be touring Asia in 2017, with destinations including Singapore, Phillipines, Taiwan, Korea and Japan, Thai fans were disappointed to hear that Bangkok did not make the list. However, many were quick to notice that there was a big gap between their dates in the Phillipines and Taiwan, leaving a potential slot for a Bangkok gig.

Formed in 1996 by vocalist and keyboardist Chris Martin, along with Jonny Buckland (lead guitar), Guy Berryman (bass) and Will Champion (drums), Coldplay have won seven Grammy awards and sold over 80 million records worldwide throughout their career, making them one of the world's best-selling artists. They are best known for their massive hits including "Yellow", "Viva La Vida", "The Scientist", "Hymn for the Weekend" and many more. This will be the band's first visit to Thailand since 2003.

Ticketing details are still to be formally announced, but a viral promotional poster has tickets starting at B1,800, available for sale online from Dec 16 through Thaiticketmajor. However, do note that Citibank users are eligible for the presale between Dec 10-12.
