A survival guide to Coldplay’s Singapore 2024 concert

If you’re making your way to one of the shows, you better keep this survival guide to Coldplay’s 2024 Singapore concert handy.

British rock band Coldplay returns to play at the National Stadium in Singapore for their Music Of The Spheres tour in 2024. Happening at the 55,000 pax-capacity National Stadium, the group made history as the first act ever to play sold-out six nights in the city-state. Find out how to get through one of 2024’s biggest gigs with this survival guide on the Coldplay concert in Singapore, from how to get there and what to bring, to the song setlist you can expect.

Award-winning Brit-rock band Coldplay will perform for six sold-out dates in Singapore in 2024, making them the first artist to achieve this feat. The band also broke Singapore’s record for most tickets sold by an artist in a single day, surpassing 200,000. Hence, expect the venue to be bustling with visitors.

Coldplay is also known for their sustainability efforts. Concertgoers can expect to receive LED wristbands that are plant-based and reusable. These are collected back at the end of each show and have an average return rate of 86 per cent.

In addition, the band issued an update on the tour’s sustainability initiatives through their website last year to reveal that, on a show-by-show comparison, their current tour has so far produced 47% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour in 2016/17, and that 5 million trees have already been planted around the world (one for each concert goer).

For a stress-free concert experience, pre-planning is essential to ensure maximum enjoyment. Read on for our complete guide on how to survive the mayhem that will inevitably be the Coldplay concert in Singapore come

How to get to the National Stadium in Singapore

Because parking is limited, arriving via public transport like train or bus is advisable at least one hour before the show starts. This will help minimise disruption to traffic flow.

Train – Alight at Stadium MRT Station (CC6) on the Circle Line. It is the nearest station which exits directly into the Singapore Sports Hub.

Alternatively, visitors can travel from Mountbatten MRT Station (CC7) or Kallang MRT Station (EW10). Both are approximately 600m walking distance to Singapore Sports Hub. The former also serves as an alternative station via the Circle Line for leaving the venue.

Bus – Alight at Stadium Station (80199) for Bus 11, National Stadium (80219) for Bus 10, 14, 16, 16M, 70, 196, and Opposite National Stadium (80211) for Bus 10, 14, 16, 16M, 70, 196.
