Coldplay is set to deliver four historic performances in the UAE this week at the 45,000-capacity Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The legendary English band will take the stage on Thursday, January 9, Saturday, January 11, Sunday, January 12, and Tuesday, January 14.
Due to the massive interest in these shows, special arrangements have been made to manage the large crowds and ensure smooth transportation for fans, including free shuttle buses between Dubai and Abu Dhabi for ticket holders.
Massive Demand Leads to Additional Shows
Initially, only one show was planned, but overwhelming demand led to the addition of three more dates to accommodate fans. To minimize traffic congestion and ensure everyone arrives on time, a comprehensive transport plan has been put in place.
Free Shuttle Buses from Dubai to Abu Dhabi
Coldplay ticket holders can take advantage of a free park-and-ride shuttle bus service from Dubai on all four show days.
- Departure Point: Expo City Dubai
- Departure Time: From 12:50 PM
- Availability: First-come, first-served
For fans already in Abu Dhabi, shuttle buses will be available from:
- Al Shahama
- Sas Al Nakhl
- Al Raha
- Nation Towers
Departure from these points will start at 1:57 PM, also on a first-come, first-served basis.
Return buses will be available from the stadium to all departure points after the show ends.
Important Note on Metro Service
If you’re taking the Dubai Metro to reach Expo City before boarding the shuttle, be aware that the Metro may be closed by the time you return from Abu Dhabi.
Parking Information
For those planning to drive directly to the event, it’s important to note that no parking will be available at the stadium. Instead, drivers are advised to park at designated shuttle departure locations in Abu Dhabi:
- Al Shahama
- Sas Al Nakhl
- Al Raha
- Nation Towers
