Foxborough, MA – The sound of summer in Foxborough is about to get a whole lot louder. Coldplay is bringing their “Music of the Spheres” world tour to Gillette Stadium for two back-to-back, sold-out performances on July 15 and 16, and fans are ready for an unforgettable experience.

A Global Tour Comes to Foxborough

The iconic British band has been touring the world with a show that’s part concert, part immersive light spectacle. From eco-friendly wristbands that pulse with the beat to vibrant visuals and a setlist filled with global hits like Yellow, Fix You, and Viva La Vida, Coldplay’s tour has drawn rave reviews across continents.

Gillette Stadium, known for hosting major sporting and entertainment events, will be filled to capacity both nights, adding another highlight to Foxborough’s packed summer event calendar.

Getting to the Show

With more than 60,000 fans expected each night, local officials and stadium staff are encouraging concertgoers to plan ahead. Parking lots will open in the afternoon, and public transit options—including shuttle services—are being expanded to accommodate the crowds.

Security will be tight, and clear bag policies remain in effect. Fans are also encouraged to download the Gillette Stadium app for updates, maps, and concert-day information.

Local Boost for Businesses

These high-profile concerts are also good news for the local economy. Restaurants, hotels, and shops in and around Patriot Place are gearing up for two of their busiest nights of the season. Many local establishments are offering Coldplay-themed specials to welcome fans before and after the show.

A Night to Remember

Whether you're a longtime fan or just there for the show, Coldplay's concerts promise more than music—they’re immersive, uplifting, and inclusive events that bring people together. And for Foxborough, they’re yet another reminder of how one stadium can light up the region.
