The Music of Coldplay by Candlelight

The Music of Coldplay by Candlelight comes to Gloucester Cathedral on Saturday 23 January 2027, with two sittings on the same day. It's a tribute to Coldplay, not the band themselves, and it's staged directly from the West End. A cast of world-class vocalists and a live band perform some of the biggest songs from across their career, including 'Viva La Vida', 'Hymn For The Weekend', 'Yellow', 'The Scientist', 'Something Just Like This' and 'A Sky Full Of Stars'. The whole thing is played by candlelight, and they describe the set as 'The Adventure Of A Lifetime' through the band's hits.

The venue is the Nave of the Cathedral, at 12 College Green, GL1 2LX. It's one of the finest medieval buildings in the country and the burial place of royalty, and it's a working cathedral: stonemasons still carve and cast here. Inside you'll find the fan-vaulted medieval cloisters, the Great East Window and, in the Lady Chapel, some of the finest Arts & Crafts glass in the country. Daily public worship has resumed, with the Cathedral Eucharist every Sunday at 10.15am and a short Holy Communion each weekday at 12.30pm, and the Monk's Kitchen Café serves cakes, cream teas and sandwiches.

There are two sittings on the night. For the first, doors open at 5.45pm and the show runs from 6.15pm to 7.30pm. For the second, doors open at 8.00pm and the show runs from 8.30pm to 9.45pm. Tickets are VIP £49.50, Premium £44.50, Band A £39.50, and Side Aisles (No View) £19.50. There's also an Access Ticket at £39.50, which includes a free carer. All those prices include a £4.50 booking fee. Standard tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable, and seating is unreserved and allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
