COLDPLAY have apologised after announcing two huge gigs have been moved in a major blow to fans.
The band’s final two concerts of their current Wembley Stadium run are being rescheduled due to industrial action on the London Underground.
Coldplay apologised to disappointed fans and said the only option to avoid cancelling shows was to reschedule the gigs planned for September 7 and September 8.
The September 7 gig will now be held on September 6 and the September 8 gig will be held on September 12.
All tickets for the shows will remain valid , the band said.
Other shows planned for August 30, 31 and September 3 and 4 will go ahead as scheduled.
Coldplay said in a statement on social media: “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.
“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 Sunday 7th September show will move to Saturday 6th September. The Monday 8th September show will move to Friday 12th September.
“All tickets will remain valid for their rescheduled date. If you’re able to attend the new date, you do not need to take any action to secure your ticket for the rescheduled show. Your existing ticket will be valid for entry.
“Any ticket holders who are unable to attend their rescheduled show can get a full refund on their ticket, and are requested to contact their point of purchase before 12noon BST on Tuesday 2nd September.
“Any returned tickets will be put on general sale at 11am BST on Wednesday 3rd September, exclusively via Ticketmaster.
“The shows on Saturday 30th August, Sunday 31st August, Wednesday 3rd September and Thursday 4th September will go ahead as scheduled.
“We’re very sorry for the inevitable disappointment, frustration and inconvenience that this situation causes. Coldplay.”
