Exciting news for music fans! Coldplay is set to perform in the UAE this week, and it’s time to plan your trip to the stadium for an unforgettable experience. Over 160,000 attendees are expected to flock to the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi from Thursday, January 9, to Tuesday, January 14, for four sold-out concerts. To minimize traffic congestion near the venue, there will be no parking available at the stadium on concert days. However, event organizers have arranged four designated parking areas in Abu Dhabi and one in Dubai, each offering shuttle bus services to the stadium for ticket holders. Doors will open at 5 PM, and given the anticipated high demand for shuttle buses, it’s advisable to arrive early. If you’re unfamiliar with Abu Dhabi or visiting the UAE for the concerts, we’ve got you covered! Just a reminder: if you’re taking a taxi, there will be a different pick-up and drop-off location.
