FLASH Entertainment, the Middle East’s premier live events company, announced earlier that Coldplay will return to Abu Dhabi to celebrate the New Year with their UAE fans.

The event, on Saturday, December 31st, will take place at the du Arena, Yas Island.

Coldplay’s show forms part of the A Head Full of Dreams Tour, presented by du Live! and brought to Abu Dhabi by FLASH Entertainment in association with Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority and Yas Island, Abu Dhabi’s vibrant entertainment and leisure destination.

Since March of this year, the A Head Full of Dreams Tour has played to ecstatic audiences across Latin America, the US and Europe, including four sold-out nights at London’s Wembley Stadium.

More than 2.5 million tickets have already been sold for the show, which was created by the band alongside celebrated production designers Misty Buckley and Paul Normandale.

The tour reaches Australia and New Zealand in December.

Tickets for the show go on sale at 12:00 today.

A Head Full of Dreams has sold more than four million copies since its December 2015 release, spawning the hit singles Adventure of a Lifetime, Hymn for the Weekend and Up&Up, with over a billion YouTube video views between them.

A fourth single, the album’s title track, has just been released.

Earlier this month, the band were nominated for four awards at this year’s MTV EMAs, including Best Live Act.
