Coldplay to perform four sold-out concerts at Olympic Stadium in Helsinki

Coldplay is set to perform four sold-out concerts at Helsinki’s Olympic Stadium, taking place over two weekends. The first two shows are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, followed by additional performances on Tuesday and Wednesday. A total of 170,000 attendees are expected across all four events.

Live Nation, the event organizer, advises concertgoers to arrive at least two hours early due to the stadium’s full capacity each evening. With more than 42,500 attendees each night, there may be queues at the gates. Guests may begin lining up from 2 PM, with gates opening at 5 PM. The opening acts include Finnish artist Alma and English singer Maisie Peters, with Alma taking the stage at 7 PM, followed by Peters at 8 PM. Coldplay is expected to perform around 9:15 PM, and the event will conclude by midnight.

The organizer encourages the use of public transport or walking to the venue, as there is no designated parking and traffic restrictions will be in place for the concerts. Additional public transport information will be provided by local services.

Regarding what to bring, large bags are not allowed; only bags with maximum dimensions of A4 size are permitted. Attendees can bring a transparent, recyclable plastic bottle of up to 500 ml, which can be refilled at water stations inside. Umbrellas are prohibited, so attendees should prepare for rain with waterproof gear if necessary.

Tickets will be digital through the Lippu.Pass system, accessible via the Lippu.fi app. Tickets are activated 24 hours before the concert starts and must be presented as a QR code upon entry.

Safety is a priority for Live Nation, which is collaborating with experienced security professionals and local authorities to ensure a smooth event. Attendees are encouraged to review guidelines beforehand and remain considerate of fellow concertgoers.
