In response to this ‘incredible demand’, a second Perth show was announced.

Tickets have already hit the secondary market, but fans have been warned that it’s illegal to on-sell tickets for more than 10 per cent of the original price, with fines of up to $20K on the line.
Anti-scalping laws working well…

Coldplay have also enlisted to help of Aussie musicians such as Tash Sultana, Thelma Plum and Amy Shark to warm up the stage for the main act.
