When was the last time Coldplay played in Ireland?
The last time the band played in Ireland was back in 2017 when they also played in Croke Park.
By all accounts it was a great show with one wheelchair user even being crowd-surfed to the stage to play harmonica.
However, there was a sour note when the band moved to the smaller stage for a more intimate performance and guitarist Jonny Buckland was hit with a bottle of beer which had been thrown from the crowd.
How successful was their last tour?
Coldplay's A Head Full of Dreams Tour started on March 31st, 2016, and finished up on November 15th, 2017, with a pair of gigs in La Plata, Argentina.
The band played a total of 122 shows overall on the tour and grossed $523 million, making it the ninth highest grossing tour of all time.
How much does it cost to stay in Dublin on those dates?
A quick search of Hotels.com shows there are rooms available for two people on August 29th from around €150 to €200.
On August 30th there are similar prices for hotels in Dublin city centre, ranging from €150 to €225.
