A few hours left until the first show Cold gameby the popular British band, taking place today (Saturday, June 8, 2024) at the Olympic Stadium in Athens.
The doors of the Olympic Stadium will open to the public from 5pm with Antonia Kaouris take the stage two hours later. O Maisie Peters arrives at exactly 8pm, while Coldplay’s performance will begin at 9:15pm.
Around 120,000 people will attend Coldplay’s two shows in Athens, as part of their world tour titled “MUSIC OF THE SPHERES”.
On the weekend of June 8th and 9th, Coldplay promised to take the public at OAKA on a journey to one of the most spectacular concerts ever held in our country.
“No one will be missing from this year’s concert”, says the official announcement, which is why easier and unimpeded access for people with visual, hearing and mobility impairments plays a decisive role.
Accessibility
There will be a specially designed area in the stadium’s stands. Deaf and hard of hearing people will have the opportunity to feel the vibrations of the music, through Subpacks – electric vests – that will be offered to them free of charge, while during the live there will be simultaneous interpretation in Greek and international sign language. .
Before the start of the Coldlpay show, a touch tour will take place. People who are blind or visually impaired will have the opportunity to enjoy a tactile tour both on stage and backstage.
Furthermore, at one of the most central entrances to the stadium, there will be a specially designed space: a comfortable and silent room, where anyone who wants can calm down and isolate themselves from the sounds and crowds.
“No” to disposable plastics and the tent that will generate electricity
A separate part of Coldplay’s concerts, the adoption of ecological practices, where they managed to reduce the carbon footprint of their concerts by 59% in the previous two years.
Coldplay with its slogan “We dance and cycle, we help produce energy” requested the construction of a kinetic track to be placed in the arena. The dancing fans will generate electricity at the same time.
In this sense, the instructions are as follows:
The use of single-use plastics is not permitted anywhere in the stadium.
We do not bring glass or metal mugs and bottles with us.
We don’t have backpacks and big bags with us.
Crossbody bags, banana bags and A4 paper (30cm x 21cm) are allowed.
Reusable water bottles are allowed, which we can fill from drinking water taps that will be in visible locations.
We have the ticket on our cell phone and avoid printing it.
We use public transport, bicycles or even electric skates and avoid the car.
The LED bracelets are reusable, so they can be returned after the end of the concert.
In the Arena Bars, the public will be served at POS.
