Coldplay have been forced to delay the final two Wembley concerts of their current tour.
The band announced the news in a social media post where they apologised for any ‘disappointment’ or ‘frustration’ but explained Tube strikes had forced their hand.
‘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,’ their statement read.
‘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.’
The band confirmed the show on September 7 would now take place a day earlier on September 6, while the September 8 show would move to September 12.
They have also confirmed that tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled dates.
Coldplay also added that if you cannot attend the rescheduled show, then you can get a full refund from the point of purchase before 12 pm BST on September 2.
Returned tickets are expected to go on resale on September 3 via Ticketmaster.
