In the wake of allegations levied against event platform BookMyShow of encouraging ticket scalping, rumours were rife that pop group Coldplay’s India shows had been cancelled. The speculations particularly gained attention after reports of Ashish Hemrajani—the CEO of the platform’s parent company Big Tree Entertainment—skipping the second summons issued by the Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing hit headlines. However, in a statement, the company refuted the rumours and confirmed that the band would indeed tour India in January.

 “We would like to clarify that Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour 2025 in India will proceed as planned. Reports contrary to this are factually incorrect,” the statement read.
