btSkies are about to turn ‘Yellow’ this weekend on the 18th, 19th, and 21st, as Coldplay, the iconic British music band is set to step foot in India. The craze for their concert has been phenomenal since day 1 of the announcement and now there are hardly 72 hours or so remaining for the D-Day for most of you Coldplay fans. So, we thought of giving you a quick low-down on all that you need to know ahead of the Mumbai leg of Coldplay Concert India.
Coldplay Mumbai Concert: All That You Must Know
Coldplay India Tour 2025: When Is It In Mumbai?
The much anticipated Coldplay Concert India will be in two metropolitan cities – Mumbai and Ahmedabad. While the Ahmedabad shows are on the 25th and 26th of January, 2025, Mumbai will be having three shows – on the 18th, 19th, and 21st January at the DY Patil Stadium, Nerul, Navi Mumbai.
The gates for the show will open at 3:00 PM and will close for entry by 7:45 PM. Post that, Coldplay will begin their performance.
Coldplay DY Patil Stadium Layout
Now that you know when Coldplay is turning the city into a ‘Paradise’, it is important to know the layout of the stadium you will be witnessing it in. The DY Patil Stadium is divided into 12 sections with 10 sections (A-E and L-P) offering seating options. The other two sections are the standing area and the VIP Lounge.
The standing area and sections A, B, O, and P are the best to enjoy the show, while sections D, E, L, and M will not really give you a good view of the band. The standing area is also where you will get the best experience of the fireworks, but we recommend not skipping leg day for the coming days, you’ll know why!
And just when you feel like answering ‘nature’s important calls’, you will be delighted to find a place immediately. With plenty of signages, it will be easy for you to navigate your way to the restrooms.
Coldplay India Setlist: What To Expect?
Coldplay concerts are a perfect blend of their greatest hits and tracks from their latest albums. The Coldplay Mumbai Setlist will likely feature:
Classics From Early Albums:
Songs like Yellow, Fix You, and Clocks are guaranteed, as they remain fan favorites.
Hits From Recent Albums:
Tracks like Higher Power and My Universe from their Music of the Spheres album are expected to be part of the lineup.
Special Collaborations Or Tributes:
Coldplay often includes special performances to honor local culture or current events, making their concerts unique to each location. So, watch out for that!
The band’s setlist is carefully curated to take fans on an emotional journey, with high-energy anthems interspersed with heart-wrenching ballads. One moment you’ll be screaming on the top of your lungs and the other moment you might need a tissue or two!
Opening Acts For Coldplay Tour In India
We know you are eagerly anticipating Coldplay’s performance of their iconic songs like A Sky Full of Stars, Yellow, and Something Just Like This.
In fact, in addition to their main act, the concert will feature several supporting artists. Popular Indian singer and songwriter Jasleen Royal, known for her popular songs such as Heeriye and Ranjha, will be performing at the Coldplay concert in India.
Other supporting acts include Palestinian singer-songwriter Elyanna and French modern hip-hop artist Shone.

- If you missed your wristband delivery or opted for Box Office pick-up, you can collect it from the Box Office at the venue between 12 PM to 7 PM on your respective show day.

Things Banned At The Coldplay India Concert 2025
Apart from knowing what unique experiences you will be a part of at the Coldplay India Concert, you must also know about the rules, regulations, and restrictions at the venue. Here’s the list of banned items at the concert:
Large Bags and Backpacks
While small sling bags are allowed, large bags and backpacks are restricted to prevent overcrowding and delays during security checks.

Illegal Substances and Alcohol
Strictly prohibited, these items can lead to expulsion from the venue as well as legal action.

How To Reach DY Patil Stadium For Coldplay Concert Mumbai?
By Air
The nearest airport to the stadium is Mumbai’s international airport, called Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM). If you are visiting Mumbai by air, you can take a local cab or hire an Ola/Uber service from the airport to the stadium or your hotel venue in Navi Mumbai. These Ola/Uber rides generally start at INR 450 onwards but are quite a convenient option.
By Rail
Nerul and Juinagar Railway Station, situated on the Mumbai Local Railway’s Harbour Line, are the closest railway stations to the stadium. Trains to and from Nerul are frequently available too.
If you’re staying for the concert in the Central or Western Railway Line Areas, such as Bandra, Vile Parle, Andheri, Airport Road, Fort, Colaba, Juhu, or Versova, you can easily transfer between trains on the Dadar and Kurla railway stations. From the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), there are direct trains available to Nerul.

For most concert-goers, the railways will serve as the most used form of transportation, as they are the fastest and most efficient public transport option in the city.
By Road
Nerul is extremely well-connected to other suburbs in Mumbai and places outside Mumbai by important roads and highways. If you’re driving from Mumbai, you must follow the Airoli-Vashi-Nerul route, which can also be easily accessed via GPS systems. Getting in and around Mumbai by road is pretty much just a game of GPS navigation!
Another option is to use local buses to get to Nerul. Mumbai and Navi Mumbai have an extensive network of bus services, however, we’d not really recommend them. This is because you might be faced with Mumbai’s traffic or bus delays.
How To Reach DY Patil Stadium From Nerul and Juinagar Stations
If you are entering the venue from gates 6, 7, 8, or 9, Nerul Railway Station is the closest to you. It will only take a 5 to 10-minute walk from the railway station to reach the venue.
However, if you are entering the venue from gates 2, 3, 4, or 5, Juinagar Railway Station is the closest to you. Just walk for a mere 7 to 8 mins and you’ll be reaching the venue in no time!

If you are attending the concert, we highly recommend using public transport like railways and buses. If you are using the bus, here are two bus stops closest to the stadium:
DY Patil Stadium Bus Stop (NMMT buses): The bus stop is for NMMT buses run by Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport. From here, the stadium is hardly a 5-minute walk away.
SIES College Bus Stop (NMMT/BEST buses): Both NMMT and BEST (Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport) buses halt at this bus stop. Walk for 5 minutes and you’ll reach the venue.
We also recommend downloading and using the M-Indicator App that has all the information you need about Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, and Thane’s public transport and local updates.
