DY Patil Stadium, where Coldplay is set to perform in January 2025, had offered to host the band eight years ago.

Coldplay are set to light up Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium in January 2025, marking their first return to India in eight years. Interestingly, this performance will take place roughly eight years after the stadium first offered to host the Grammy-winning rock band. This remarkable coincidence is being called the ‘power of manifestation’ by some social media users who managed to dig up the stadium’s old tweet inviting Coldplay to perform at the venue.

Singer Chris Martin of British rock band Coldplay performs on stage during a concert at the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna, Austria on August 21, 2024. Security measures have been tightened in Vienna for a series of concerts by British band Coldplay this week, Austrian police said on August 20, 2024, after Taylor Swift’s shows were canceled following a suicide bombing plot.

In May 2016, DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai shared a tweet offering to host British rock band Coldplay. “Coldplay, We would love to host you at our stadium for a concert in Mumbai – India,” the stadium tweeted.

Although the 2016 Coldplay India concert did not take place at DY Patil Stadium – it was instead held at the MMRDA grounds in Bandra – it looks like the venue’s dream of hosting the Grammy-winning band is all set to come true.

X users were amazed at the coincidence after the old tweet resurfaced and went viral on the microblogging platform.

“This is such a full circle moment,” wrote X user Samarth. “Gotta learn protest from DY Patil Stadium,” another person joked.

X user Akshay called it the “Power of manifestation,” while another user said it was a concert eight years in the making.
