Just over a year since performing its first ever show at Gillette Stadium, Coldplay returns to Foxborough on Friday, Aug. 4, as part of the band’s 2017 run of its “A Head Full of Dreams Tour.”

Coldplay drew rave reviews from its Gillette Stadium show last July with The Boston Globe reporting, “Coldplay [filled] Gillette Stadium with earnest energy” and The Boston Herald noting, “Musically, the group was virtually flawless.” The Providence Journal called the performance an “epic show” and The Sun Chronicle said the “band [ignited the] crowd with dazzling light show, music.”

The tour, produced by Live Nation, is in support of the band’s seventh studio album, “A Head Full of Dreams.”

Gillette Stadium officials are reminding fans attending the Aug. 4 concert of important ticketholder information and policies in place at the venue. The show is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. with support from Izzy Bizu and AlunaGeorge. Stadium gates are scheduled to open at 5:30 p.m.

In partnership with Uber, Gillette Stadium has a designated drop off and pick up location in Lot 15 adjacent to Bass Pro Shops. Concertgoers can schedule an Uber ride to and from the venue through the Uber mobile app.

CLEAR BAG POLICY IN EFFECT
Fans attending the show are reminded that bags larger than a small wristlet or handheld wallet will not be allowed inside Gillette Stadium, per the venue’s clear bag policy, which is in effect at all ticketed events. 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 and backpacks, will not be allowed inside Gillette Stadium and will not be held or stored by the venue. These items must be returned to a vehicle before entering the stadium. For more information on the clear bag policy, visit http://www.gillettestadium.com/bagpolicy.

METAL DETECTORS AT ALL GATES
Metal detectors are located at all stadium gate entrances. Please remove phones, cameras and all other large metallic items from your pockets prior to reaching the screening locations to expedite the screening process.

Fans are encouraged to arrive early at stadium gates to limit wait times.
