Coldplay is known for picking interesting support (think: H.E.R., London Grammar, or even a local surprise). Pro tip: Check the venue’s app an hour before doors open. Sometimes they swap acts last minute.

Here’s where I’ll sound like your nagging mate: don’t arrive at 4:00 PM if you want to avoid queues. The big merch stall opens at 12:00 PM in the Wembley Park area, but the stadium gates open roughly 90 minutes before the first support act.
Translation: if you want a glow-in-the-dark wristband without sweating for an hour, show up at 4:30 PM for a 5:30 PM doors. You’ll thank me when you’re sipping an overpriced beer instead of missing “Viva la Vida.”
