If carrying a bag into the stadium is necessary, there are two options: a clear plastic bag the size of a 1 gallon Ziploc bag or a small wristlet or handheld wallet not exceeding 8” x 5” x 2” (approximately the size of a hand).

Please note that bags larger than the permitted size, including purses, shoulder bags, diaper bags and backpacks, will not be allowed inside Gillette Stadium on event day.

CONCERT INFO

While Saturday’s show will mark Coldplay’s first ever performance at Gillette Stadium, the band’s front man, Chris Martin, made his Gillette Stadium debut last September as a surprise guest during Ed Sheeran’s world tour stop in Foxborough. Martin joined the British singer-songwriter on stage to perform Sheeran’s hit single, “Thinking Out Loud” and Coldplay’s hit single, “Yellow.”

The band’s A Head Full of Dreams Tour will feature openers Alessia Cara and Foxes and is nationally promoted by Live Nation. It is also the band’s first world tour since the 2011-2012 Mylo Xyloto Tour, which was seen by more than 3 million people on five continents.

Coldplay’s stop in Foxborough continues Gillette Stadium’s Summer Concert Series, which marks the venue’s busiest concert season to date with nine shows booked this summer. Many of the year’s best performers are taking the stadium stage in 2016, including Beyonce, Luke Bryan, Guns N’ Roses, Kenny Chesney and Bruce Springsteen.
