Coldplay is set to make history by performing 10 nights at London’s Wembley Stadium next summer, surpassing the record previously held by Taylor Swift and Take That. Originally planning a six-night stint in August 2025, the band added four more shows in September due to overwhelming demand during a fan-only presale.

General ticket sales begin on Friday, 27 September, with prices starting at £20. Notably, Coldplay has opted not to use Ticketmaster’s controversial dynamic pricing model, ensuring ticket prices remain fixed at the advertised rate.

The tour supports the band’s forthcoming 10th album Moon Music, slated for release on 4 October. In addition to Wembley, Coldplay will perform two nights at Hull’s Craven Park Stadium, with 50% of tickets reserved for local fans.

The 12 concerts will be Coldplay’s only European dates in 2025, and 10% of the proceeds will go to the Music Venue Trust, supporting grassroots music venues across the UK.

US authorities have confirmed that rapper and hip hop star Fatman Scoop, real name Isaac Freeman III, died of hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The 56-year-old collapsed on stage during a show in Connecticut in August and passed away later in the hospital.

Fatman Scoop was best known for his chart-topping hit Be Faithful, which reached number one in the UK in 2003, and for his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother in 2015. Throughout his career, he collaborated with high-profile artists such as Timbaland and David Guetta, solidifying his influence in the hip hop scene.

In a heartfelt statement, his family described him as a “father, brother, uncle, and friend,” adding that he was “the laughter in our lives” and a constant source of support. His agency, MN2S, also paid tribute, noting that “Scoop’s legacy will live on through his timeless music” and calling him one of New York’s most influential hip hop figures of the 1990s.

Fans around the world continue to mourn the loss of this beloved artist, whose infectious energy and iconic voice made a lasting impact on the music industry.

Fans of the hit Netflix show Bridgerton were left disappointed and frustrated after an unofficial Bridgerton-themed ball in Detroit turned out to be a major letdown. Promoted as a glamorous evening of Regency-era elegance with ballroom dancing, music, and costumes, the event fell far short of expectations, leaving attendees feeling scammed.

Photos and videos of the event have since gone viral on social media, as disgruntled guests shared their disappointment with the low-budget decorations, poorly prepared food, and a surprising lack of entertainment—featuring only a stripper instead of the promised ballroom performances. The ball, which was not endorsed by Netflix or Shondaland, had advertised itself as an “evening of sophistication, grace, and historical charm.”

Tickets for the event started at $150, with some guests paying extra for the “Duke and Duchess” package, which included dinner. However, attendees criticized the food, describing it as “terrible” and even “undercooked.” Many guests were seen sitting on the floor, scrolling through their phones in frustration, while they called for refunds.

Social media is now flooded with complaints from fans, some of whom had dressed in their finest Regency-inspired outfits, only to be met with an event that was far from the magical Bridgerton experience they had anticipated.
